Whistleblowers : Who Are They?

By Peter Rost

After blowing the whistle on fraud, 90 percent of the whistleblowers were fired or demoted, 27 percent faced lawsuits, 26 percent had to seek psychiatric or physical care, 25 percent suffered alcohol abuse, 17 percent lost their homes, 15 percent got divorced, 10 percent attempted suicide, and 8 percent were bankrupted. But in spite of all this, only 16 percent said that they wouldn't blow the whistle again.

1. I would do it again

...even though I was made to leave my job. It was worth it, no doubts on that.

Cheers

2. How do you live with yourself when you see the

wrong thing being done... Do you go along, or do you blow the whistle and cause all kinds of hell? Takes a strong person to do that...
