Agreed, Crims. Unfortunately, the general rule in life seems to be that whistleblowers are usually not lauded as heroes, but become pariahs instead, even though the corruption has been rooted out and hopefully fixed.
My story: a couple of decades ago, I reported an employee who tried to get me to unwhittingly steal data some company data and eventually had to leave the company after he was investigated for it. Note that had they been successful at duping me, when the scandal would have come to light, I would have been in the frame for it and given him plausible deniability, which is why I think he thought he could sucker me into it. He didn't know me very well, did he?
Annoyingly, they ended up becoming really popular with the other staff members and I barely got a thanks from management, certainly no reward of any kind, and I ended up being the one who went around the place feeling uncomfortable and avoiding him. Thankfully, I've long left that place now and not been put in a similar position since. What a fucked up world.
