@@belgiumcomics2537 It's a polite way of saying they were officially reprimanded and put under tight scrutiny for the rest of their career plan. And no, I don't think you understand what he was saying. In a perfect world, yes, he would have done the right thing. But in this world, as a result of his whistleblowing (1) no one got fired or punished for their corruption, and (2) he got punished for reporting the crimes. So was it the right thing to do, if no good and only bad came of it? It's a systemic issue; collective action is what is needed, his whole point is that it is naïve to think that individual action does anything other than hurt the person trying to do "the right thing".

[@neothaka]

​@@belgiumcomics2537usually if your performance is inadequate, you're essentially placed into a performance improvement state. Can take many forms, but the bottom line is you try to improve in areas your performance is deemed inadequate. If you are still unable to meet their standard, the company can let you go. You can see how this system is easily abused by companies to get employees to quit without having to fire them (which is costly and can't be done so easily).

Seeing a juice media upload is bittersweet: I enjoy the videos and they help raise awareness, but oh boy does my faith in humanity drop from about 3/100 to -999

[@kevincanning3051]

Humanity is ok. It's the people who are in charge we have a problem with.

[@sportygirlplays]

Not the public but people in charge of gov we have issues with

[@jytou]

@@kevincanning3051 Not (only) the people in charge. It’s **the way we put them in charge** which enables them to cheat us: elections in which we give them carte blanche to do whatever they want. There is no control feedback loop, so of course they will abuse us to keep their power.

[@craigmcmanus4530]

I’m exactly the same. I think they’re absolutely amazing and can’t wait for the next one, but as soon as I’ve watched it I feel ashamed to be complicit in the shitfuckery by not actively doing something about it.

[@BBoy-te1cb]

Had a boss call me a dumb slave to customers and new employees. Told the gm and he tried to bribe me with a raise and promotion, I said never and that I had believed in them. He eventually fired him and hired an aryan brotherhood member and his wife. Needless to say we had robberies and a kidnapping so I fucking quit. Mom got cancer so we sold everything and left after driving 3k miles. My dad used to be a lawyer and even he said it’s an endless battle against the big companies. Just take care of your mental health, but if it really comes to it, stand up for yourself. Even if you lose.

[@firthm2]

Prosecuting government whistleblowers like Assange and Snowden is a blatant example of injustice and terrible representation... Makes my blood boil how self-serving our public "representatives" are

[@stevemadsen6756]

Is Assange unimpeachable to you? He states that reports of Russia's attempts to influence the 2016 election are nonsense. The notion that dozens of social media companies and left leaning media outlets have been leant on by the Democrats seems dubious at best.

[@ronaldmorey3396]

It's like that in America too. Biggest case is snowden of course but I've never heard of a case where our whistle blowers protection act/s have helped anyone in the last 30 years.

You are so free to be able to make videos like this.

[@gsuarez1154]

You girls are just great. Nail it every single time

[@greatestsportslegends]

Giving the thumbs up to this video seems a low bar. It deserves way more credit and kudos for the message it is trying to communicate. Like Australia, Canada (where I am) is very similar, almost always following our neighbour and big brother to the south into endless wars. With only a few exceptions. And we too have whistleblowers who have been met with vitriol and a concerted effort to make them the "bad guy". Under the guise of "protection of important and sensitive information", blah, blah.

[@seanjohnson386]

As a fellow Canadian, I would like to second that opinion and further suggest that Prime Minister Trudeau go suck a dick. On second thought, I fear he may have done entirely too much of that already. Good luck, Canada.

[@Tony-theGreat]

Why should you care about Afghanistan? People die all the time by criminals and that’s a very normal thing. Australia and Canada care alot about their reputation because that’s literally the only thing that makes their countries successful and attract foreign workers and investors

[@getsideways7257]

Except it's a little too one-sided. The video makes you think it's just Australia (and the US) that is fucked, but it's WHOLE of humanity, really. There is no such a thing as a "free people state". Watching and reading silly dystopian tales for kids we fail to realize we've been living a dystopia ourselves for a good while now...

It is so true that those who commit war crimes are often promoted, while those who refuse are expelled from the army. - I am referring to many cases in the USA.

[@JoustingJaguar]

The officers who led the Parachute Regiment on Bloody Sunday got knighthoods, I'm fairly sure. Either that or medals. So yeah, you're right.

[@RKNGL]

Here in the US of A they’ll usually just unalive you if you’re are whistleblower. If you made it jail they’ve messed something up. Even whistleblowing on a Boeing will get you to have an oopsy before the trial.

Seeing 1984 referenced truly says something

[@getsideways7257]

Except 1984 was conceived exactly with the purpose of making you willingly submit to all the "shitfuckery" and be happy about it.

[@xjet]

Every person watching this needs to recognise that it's not just enough to acknowledge the outrages that are being performed -- we must also stand up ourselves and be counted. For evil to triumph requires only that good men do nothing. Don't do *nothing* -- stand up and be heard!

There is so much bullying in the Australian government but they are so good at leaving no evidence. Never in writing, never in front of 3rd parties. As a contractor too I was particularly targeted because they could kick me out any minute.
