"Whistleblower": Funeral embalmer discovers multimillion-dollar fraud scheme

[@BaithNa]

Whistleblowers are heroes

[@rawrbro69]

Nah they snitches

[@CriscDogs22]

rawrbro69 some definitely. But, you’re alright with the government scamming your tax dollars and abusing your rights?? I was personally affected by a US govt scheme, and I will never trust this government again because of it.

[@vickythecat1741]

Yes, they are because true whistleblowers do not have their own self in mind, they care about the greater picture, a whole society. They sacrifice a lot to do right and they have no choice, they can't turn around and act like nothing is happening. They have to speak out, there is simply no choice for them. That's why I have so much respect for people who speak up.

They should go undercover in my college. I swear some of the professors in the science department fail us on purpose to get money for the school. A lot of students think this. General biology shouldn’t be taught at as a 300/3000 level course. And in the chemistry department it sucks because the professors have published really good research and got the department millions of dollars so teaching is the least of their concerns. People like me that’s trying to actually learn and need a different approach suffer from these professors it needs to be investigated and dealt with

The most profitable company on the planet that basically doesn’t even have to pay for what it sells only makes 0.1% of the global annual GDP. Humans love to scream capitalism when they’re hurting tons of people or doing other terrible things yet it rarely actually is. Humans kings/queens/supposed luminaries/etc also all absolutely thought the earth was flat and unimaginably humbly that earth was literally at the center of everything for 7000+ years. All they had to do is go fishing or look at the sky and think about it. They also have 7000+ years of track record of mass murdering themselves for arbitrary, superficial and blatantly false reasons yet describe themselves as a social species. Very few if any species have that type of behavior let alone at that scale. There’s 30+ documented cognitive biases per human science that makes them fundamentally delusional. I could go on at length. The people doing terrible things like this are delusional sociopaths. They aren’t usually financially competent or even selfishly financially competent.

[@marinegirlpowers8888]

This is what society has come to. Corrupt people seem to be on the rise. Screwing their fellow brethren. My mom said 40 yrs ago that she was worried about our society. She said it seemed like all the crappy folks were having the most kids and nice people were only having a couple kids. Therefore the nice honest folks would be out numbered at somepoint and this type of behavior would be the norm or exceptable with very few repercussions. Thank you alex for trying to help.

Doesn't matter whether she was repeateding anything or not. Nor does it matter what her tone of voice supposedly was (and it didn't sound sarcastic--it sounded judgmental and obnoxious). You would not want someone referring to you, using that derogatory term--on network news, in any tone. Totally unjustified and unprofessional. But that is what quota hires do.

Can I be on that show? I worked for Dr. Pepper here in Houston for 17 years & I was fired last year, threatened, assaulted by a manager, had the cops called on me, because I was exposing how they don’t pay employees for sick days, mileage, vacation time, amongst other things. I emailed them the following: ------------ I worked for Dr.Pepper, here in Houston, Texas for the past 17 years, & I was punished for going to the doctor for my mental health illness, & also for injuries. Then ultimately fired. About 4 years ago I was on medication for anxiety & depression, something I've dealt with since a child. I was doing really bad, I had severe migraines, night sweats, I couldn't sleep, eventually becoming suicidal. I informed my manager about what I was going through but instead of receiving support & simply being allowed to go to my doctor & to take days off, I was told no. I was told to not take a day off to go see my doctor, I was told to instead go to work, then go to my doctor after my first stop during my break, then go back to work. I refused plenty times & took the day off as I should be allowed but that only resulted in me being punished by not having someone cover my route on that day that I took off. I would confront my manager & ask him why he didn't send someone to my route & he would respond by telling me that I should have came to work. I went to HR & told other managers but nothing was done. I was dealing with so much due to my anxiety disorder & bouts of depression that I just focused on my well being, they didn't care, they did nothing to punish the managers & HR for treating me the way they did. Then it happens again, I develop fluid in my knee, I ask for a day off & once again I'm told no, & also punished for taking a day off. I had a door fall on my back & I was sent back to work that same day by the company doctor even though I was hurt. Last year I got 2 pinched nerves in my lower back & once again I was met with anger by HR & my manager. This company is very unprofessional, I had a manager put his arms around me from behind & wouldn’t let me go. I was constantly being yelled at by HR personnel, I was punished, threatened with losing my job, I was written up simply for arguing about this with management. Recently I found out that I was lied to for years about my vacation time. Nobody did anything about this. Not HR, not any managers. I was denied promotions & made fun off because of my condition. I have text messages of me being punished, I showed them to HR, to management, & as always, nothing was done. So in August of last year I was fired. Their excuse was that I didn’t go to work, I was still owed vacations & I’m allowed to take days off that’s why I didn’t go. The managers at fault were never punished & still work there.
