The treatment of whistleblowers is a consistent story around the world in all cultures and societies. Even when they alert us to important issues and save our companies from fines, terrible headlines, and enormous disruption, they are still shunned and treated poorly. Cynthia Cooper, the whistleblower at WorldCom, once pointed out at an SCCE Compliance & Ethics Institute that the typical whistleblower was unemployed, bankrupt, and divorced.
