Legal whistleblower protections do not prevent severe career and social punishment

Evidence

Most pay a heavy social and emotional price for their actions. Whistle-blowers are legally safeguarded against retaliation. However, if they remain on the job they are likely to find themselves marginalized in an inhospitable workplace. If they leave, other companies are not about to hire whistle-blowers, so they are probably unemployable in their particular line of work. This trying experience upends their occupational and social life and changes their outlook on life. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 486
