Dangers of Being a Corporate Whistleblower 2

Being a whistleblower always starts the same way - an employee or worker notices that the company for which he is working is doing something wrong, illegal or unethical and says something about it. 

      Sounds simple, right?  We have all been told (or at least we should have been told) to do the right thing.  We don't want to participate in illegal or unethical activity.  Not only is it immoral, in today's world it is also illegal.  If we see that the company we are working for is taking some action that is wrong, we should not involve ourselves in it.

    By "not involving ourselves in it" there are several courses of action a person could take.  For example:

1.  Alert the supervisor that something is wrong
2.  Go to a higher authority and report that something is wrong
3.  Refuse to "sign off" on something because it is wrong or incorrect

4.  Go to the police or Federal police (FBI, etc.) to alert them that something is going on

5.  Speak to an attorney

6.  Go to the media

7.  Talk to co-workers

 

      The above are just a few examples.  However, all of the above can be considered a form of whistleblowing.  In fact, all of the above examples have been done by whistleblowers at one time or another.  All of the results are the same: the person is stating that something is going on at a company that is wrong, illegal, immoral or all three.

 

     So, once this happens, the person may be considered a whistleblower already.
