I have worked for two corrupt employers-both were laundering money. I am educated, hard-working and honest-a wonderful target for bad employees and management to abuse and get rid of.
The first time I reported the "Conflict of Interest" I was told I did not follow protocol and that I was a whistle-blower and my career was finished. The second time I followed protocol and was bullied and harassed and mobbed until I received a payout.
My advice to people is to document, document, document. I received the buyout because I had leverage against the criminals I worked for. My anger and depression fluctuates each day, but I would never change a thing about what I did.
Good does prevail evil in the long run and what comes around goes around. Never stay defeated and hold your head up high. You are not alone as this occurs to many good people. Find yourself support networks like this wonderful site and rebuild your life. Your mental health and well being is more important than some title and imaginary prestige.
All of these crooks get caught...Bernie Madoff, Enron, WorldCom, Arthur Andersen, etc.etc. Legislation needs to be changed to toughen laws against white collar criminals. Good luck with your anger management....you are fabulous!
