Absolutely. If you're going to be a whistle-blower, forget about working in your industry again. Whistle-blowers need to have a new career on deck. Roger Boisjoly (the Challenger whistle-blower), for example, is now a consultant on business and engineering ethics. Officially there are laws that prevent retaliation against whistle-blowers, but it doesn't take much creativity to get around them....
One primary reason why I'm so happy to be no longer involved with the ethical morass that is American corporate "culture". 35 years in the quagmire fighting for quality was enough. Almost every time I read about American industry taking another hit while the CEOs accept even larger bonuses and the accountants congratulate themselves, all I can think of is "chickens coming home to roost".
