Good for you for reporting the threat. But I'm a little surprised that they let the messenger get killed along with all the other innocents.
I knew someone who whistleblew to C-suite, about misrepresentations they realized, on something that was then an existential threat to one of the top companies in its market. A series of layoffs and (IIUC) some M&A later, most of the employees were gone, but that one middle-aged engineer who warned C-suite (averting an even worse fate for the company) escaped all the layoffs, and was still there.
- addaon 1y agoI’m sure that that one line manager who reported the fraud to the CEO was well rewarded. How he learned what he did? We’ll never know. Too bad his team had to be let go.

My immediate manager bypassed his immediate manager and went above a few levels. Top management lost all confidence in the team and decided to can the project. We were all treated as peasants and told to find other jobs inside or outside the company.
