Yep
One of my bosses once told me I had a "reputation in this organisation as someone willing to stand up and be counted"
Polite version of, "you don't have a career path"
And I wasn't even a whistle blower
A whistleblower finding it difficult to secure work again speaks volumes, not just about industry culture but about society more broadly. The person willing to speak up is the person the system rejects. And the speed at which a whistleblower’s network shrinks is something to behold.
