What Would You Do for A Job?

WHEN YOUR JOB DEPENDS ON NOT BEING A WHISTLE BLOWER OR THE LIKE, I CAN'T BLAME THE EMPLOYEE FOR DECLINING THE "HONOR." HERE THE SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE GET RID OF MAUD AND JANE AND OTHERS OF THEIR ILK.

Maybe some whistle blowers are needed. The unethical and arrogant way of these people is disturbing.

Nobody’s job can be denied if they are a whistleblower:

FACT AND LAW IN VIRGINIA: Whistleblowers may not be transferred, denied a raise, have their hours reduced, or be fired or punished in any other way because they have exercised any right afforded to them under one of the laws that protect whistleblowers. Whistle blower protection is provided by Federal acts and related statutes that shield employees from retaliation for reporting illegal acts of employers. An employer can't rightfully retaliate in any way, such as discharging, demoting, suspending or harassing the whistle blower. If an employer retaliates anyway, whistle blower protection might entitle the employee to file a charge with a government agency, sue the employer, or both. Typically, to be entitled to whistle blower protection, an employee must report an employer's alleged illegal act to the proper authority, such as a government or law-enforcement agency. An employee might not be entitled to whistle blower protection for reporting an illegal act only within the company. However, the employee might be protected from retaliation by public policy or other laws. For example, if an employee reports sexual harassment to the company's HR department, he or she is protected from retaliation by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Even if it turns out that an employer didn't actually break a law, an employee is still entitled to whistle blower protection from retaliation, if he or she reasonably believed that the employer committed an illegal act. However, whistle blower protection typically does not include employer retaliation for employee complaints about personal dislikes. Collectively, such provisions are called whistle blower protections or whistle blower laws. Whistle blower laws and other laws that that have provisions for employer retaliation protection are enforced by a number of government agencies. For example, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and its divisions enforce several major laws that directly protect whistle blowers or have provisions to shield employees from retaliation, for reporting violations of the laws, refusing to engage in any action made unlawful by the laws, or participating in any proceedings under the laws. The Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act is part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, enforced by the Department of Labor. And lastly, the purpose of the Qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act is to encourage private individuals who are aware of fraud being perpetrated against the government to bring such information forward.

If it can be proven that there is actual money involved in the fraud or abuse, the whistler blower is entitled to 15% or more of the amounts that have been involved in the fraud or abuse. In some cases these amounts have been in the millions of dollars, so don't tell me that no-one can afford NOT to whistleblow.
