Real whistleblowers are required to report through a hierarchy of supervisors. Think how effective that is (not.) Upper level puts pressure on lower levels to shut the person up. This usually involves write-ups for minor (or even nonexistent) "infractions." The goal is to make the wb so miserable, they're forced to resign. It also involves segregating them from other staff, either by telling staff not to interact with them or by literally placing the wb in an isolated location - picture a folding table on another floor that's used for storage.) The merit systems process is stacked against them - basically providing free legal representation to the wb supervisors while the wb incurs costly legal expenses. There is NO such thing as wb protection. None.
And that's only the beginning. As you imply, it can get much worse.
