The Secret HR Director

GlaxoSmithKline, was recently in the news for rehiring the former employee who was suspected of being the main whistleblower behind the infamous “Project Scorpion” case. Many whistleblowers aren’t so lucky. Years ago, I worked with someone who had uncovered serious fraud by a Board member. They went to the CEO innocently with their findings. The next day they were called to a meeting at an external location, and the Board member was waiting for them, and dismissed them on the spot.
