O.T. Whistleblower

My story; in early 1983, I was fired from my brokerage job because of reporting my office manager’s activity, which amounted to theft of company funds. The parent company claimed to be clearing more trades, and was I think, on the NYSE than any other firm. After I sued them, in a six day trial in U.S. District Court, they said they fired me because I pursued the matter up to our president, after lower level people told me that there was no problem and to forget it. The jury awarded me just over $100K but with the litigation costs and the time I invested pursuing it, it was not monetarily profitable to go after them. However, there was a lot of satisfaction in showing that I was right all along; too bad you can not sell satisfaction. Here is a link that brings a lot of memories back:

If we had more people willing to take these people to task like you did,maybe we would not be in this mess that we are in now.
 
The same thing happened to a man that worked for Countrywide Bank when they were giving out home loans to customers with no money for downpayment.
Most didn't have money for settlement fees so they just added it to the loan. When he complained they fired him. Hal
 
I worked for a multi branch construction equipment company several yrs ago where the manager of the Indanapolis branch was renting equipment for cash money.

A long time company employee(it was not me) reported this to company office and the employee was fired. Their reason was because he broke the chain of command by going to company president.

The branch mamager is still there , still stealing from the business. Remember this when dealing with Jason Kruze at Southeastern Equipment.

Sometimes doing the "right thing" can be costly.
 
One time when my wife was City Bookkeeper, she found evidence that the City Clerk had his fingers in the till. She reported it to the Mayor, and the City Council confirmed the evidence she found. The City Clerk was fired and charged accordingly.

He blew his brains out the day before his trial was to start. But, if she hadn't reported when she found it, she would have been an accomplice.
