Would You Ever Be A Whistleblower If It Would Save Lives, Although You Would Lose Your Job?

[sage2021]

Many years ago when whistle blowing first began - the whistle blower had protection against retaliation and maybe even personal security from being killed or beat up and lose their job.
Now they just get rid of you.

Our world has changed so much there is so much evil going on in this world it's unbelievable it's sad that our government allows it and they are even a part of the evil movement because of things that they say and do and they keep taking taking of course I would be a whistleblower if it's to save lives if I can save kids from growing up in a world to where they have to become sheep and not leaders of course I would in a heartbeat I don't care about a job I care about the future of this planet and the people on it we're not going the right direction our food is Tainted her politics is Tainted people are becoming more tainted and it has to stop everything in this world is heading for a destructive side and the middle class is the thing that keeps America going but they want to put leashes on us they want us all in one big apartment complex so they can keep control on this they're buying up houses left and right they're buying that Farms left and right they want us to put our money in their Bank once they control the food and once they control our money who is it in this world that can stop them there's no agency big enough to do so so we the people have to wake up now because it's almost too late probably

There was a doctor in England who got sacked over whistleblowing at an apparently notorious hospital. I'm not sure I'd like to get sacked, but this chap managed to sue the health service for quite a big sum. The BBC covered it quite more articulately than I could: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-35496603

Simples...

If this kind of action saves human lives or those of animals, then yes, I would certainly be a whistleblower even if that would mean losing my job.

I am an empath and I cannot and will not accept that lives be at stake just because CEOs want to fill their pockets at the detriment of other humans, regarding loss of life as something that is a collateral damage that is acceptable to take in order to prosper.

I live near a home for kids with Down syndrome and seeing how they are being treated by random strangers not only aggravates me but makes me take their defense against those that have no respect for those that have a challenge in life.

Maybe you have read on here that I have recently (6 months+) become an aviation enthusiast.

My question was prompted when I saw the program MAYDAY Air Disaster ✈️ just now.

What Boing hid from their pilots ended up killing more than 300+ souls and Boing knew that it could end up with a crash. But like you said, it's all about money.

Boing installed a new program called MCAS which will cause the jets systems to malfunction and possibly crash and finally it happened..
Boeing deliberately left out of the pilots instructions what to do when the plane behaves in a way that doesn't make any sense to the pilots.

Boeing didn't tell the pilots or anyone else that they installed MCAS on their jets.
And they purposely left it out of all of the manuals and the pilots were never trained on what to do if the MCAS is sending faulty messages to the pilots and the plane begins to misbehave and the pilots ended up crashing the plane.
There was a whistle blower who spoke up about it, but they just put him on eternal leave and cut his salary substantially.

[SueShe]

Oh yes, I did read extensively about those issues with the new Boeing B737 where Boeing "omitted" to inform the operators about the dangers.

Actually, aviation is one of my major interest area but I don't want to talk too much about it since I like to keep my bio as neutral as possible.

@SueShe

Thank you for your input. It's good to know that I have a fellow aviation enthusiast on here.
We didn't say anything that would be used against us I don't think. Pretty generic things.

[SueShe]

Thanks for the MHO

@SueShe

You're so welcome!

I'm an animal lover too and I cringe if I see them being abused.
If possible I call the authorities.

[SueShe]

I am not shy to tell a pet owner off if I see them mistreating an animal. I will not tolerate that kind of behavior from anyone. A child can be educated and I will gladly inform a kid that he/she should treat a pet with respect. An adult on the other hand has had plenty of time to know that it should not be done.

[Masie]

Yes I would do it if it would save lives. There are a couple reasons. One is that lives are far more important than a job. There is no denying that. You can get another job. A person cannot get a new life.

The second reason is that my job is not that important. I could easily go across town and get a new one at a competing resort or hotel. So I would much rather save a life and move to a new hotel than not.

[Texasgal95]

I mean, if somebody’s life is at risk with hoping that movement, I would have the guts to speak out if it’s a child or somebody that can’t fight back for themselves like somebody with a disability that has special needs and unfortunately, regardless we live in a time where people don’t care, they want what they want and they don’t care who they hurt in the process and that’s the sad truth. Jobs and stuff can be replaced life cannot

[AviatorTom]

On a few occasions, I have pointed out things at work, typically involving safety. I'm not sure one would call that whistle-blowing, but I have no problem doing what's right, even if it harms me in the long run.

[BadApple69]

Without a doubt yes. I can replace a job… you can’t replace a life.

[Surely]

Have to let your conscience be your guide. Whether you can sleep with your decision.

[glennos89]

Yeah ofcourse fuck the job 🖕🏼

[exitseven]

Yes, I can always find a new job.
