Who is right or wrong (she or the firm), it is hard for outsiders to decide without knowing the facts. But what is very very sad is the fact that much of the "civilized" society accepts that:
1. Employers can treat their employees like crap, not many people seem to be bothered by it. But when a employee says anything even remotely bad, suddenly he/she is unprofessional, immature etc
2. In the case of whistle blowers, we spend more time arguing the behavior of the whistle blower (aka the "correct" way of whistle blowing) than actually looking into the allegations.
So in short, even if I (the whistle blower) have a legitimate case (racism, ageism, sexism...whatever), then I am expected to act totally "professional" if I ever expect to be taken seriously.
- Surio 14y agoI know what you mean. There was another article yesterday about racism in a company (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4603611 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4603611 Note: The OP itself returns a 404 now!), and AFAIR most of the comments seems to debate and revolve around those two points for a very long time. It would have been hilarious if it wasn't sad. :-/
