'You can always say no...' That is like something from a bad movie about spouse abuse. 'Just leave' plays well on TV but the reality is often that a job is someone's life. Just saying no and leaving will have real, and likely massive, harm to the person. Where do they go? What do they do? Do they actually have 6 months of savings to look for a new position and explain why they left their last one? How about the money to spend on hiring lawyers to help them? We need functioning protections for whistleblowers that are well advertised, well funded, -not- subject to the whims of whoever is in office and that actually allow people to 'just say no' and not have their lives shattered.
