Whistle Blowers

I read this morning on Jen Wagner's Hoosier Political Report (http://www.hoosierpoliticalreport.com/) that the state Department of Labor is suing a Ft. Wayne hotel after they fired a manager who reported safety violations there.

I wonder how many similar lawsuits the state could file against itself for all the "whistle blowers" who have been fired or forced out for the same thing, in IDOC alone?

JDD, his henchmen, and his lapdogs have made sure that anyone who feels the need to point out the serious problems in this department thinks twice and keep their mouths shut. Even the most trivial concerns or suggestions for improvement label you as a troublemaker. How many of the best, competent people have been forced out because they've tried to point out problems? How many people have been sucked into JDD asking for their "ideas" and participated in those ridiculous "Skip Level" meetings with him, then find they are on the list of troublemakers? Those meetings are nothing less than a chance for JDD to convince the youngest and most naive new employees that he is the "best corrections commissioner in America", and to spot the troublemakers, whether they are new or veteran staff. Point out a problem to JDD, and he will be on the phone to your Superintendent. Point out a problem or a concern to your Superintendent, and you are on the list. Anyone who finds themselves on the list is transferred, pushed around, forced out, or fired.

How many Wrongful Terminations has HR had to deal with?
