Whistleblowing occurs when an employee reports illegal conduct at work that is not related to workplace rights. For example, you are a whistleblower if you report that your company is cooking the books; engaging in shareholder fraud; producing faulty, dangerous, or mislabeled products; or lying on its tax returns.
The outcome would probably be that people that did serious harm wouldn’t get a punishment for their actions where as innocent people would get a punishment without a second thought.
