Points to Remember
A whistle-blowing incident is probably the most emotionally difficult thing you can experience as a professional.
Not every incident that should result in whistle blowing does. Sometimes the whistle is “swallowed” rather than blown.
If you find yourself in a possible whistle-blowing incident, you should exhaust all internal avenues for addressing the problem and accumulate all documentation possible. If blowing the whistle becomes the only alternative, then you should anticipate a job change and you should get good legal representation.
