A quick definition of whistleblower law:

A whistleblower law is a rule that helps protect workers who report bad things their bosses are doing. This can include breaking the law, wasting money, or putting people in danger. The law makes sure that the worker won't get in trouble for telling someone about the bad things. There are different laws for different types of workers, like government workers or private workers.

A more thorough explanation:

A whistleblower law is a type of law that protects employees from being punished by their employer for reporting illegal or unethical behavior. This can include things like fraud, waste of money, or danger to public health and safety.

For example, if an employee at a company discovers that their boss is stealing money from the company, they can report this to the authorities without fear of losing their job or being discriminated against. This is because of whistleblower laws that protect them.

There are different types of whistleblower laws, including federal laws that protect government employees and state laws that protect employees in specific states. These laws vary in their coverage, but they all aim to protect employees who do the right thing by reporting illegal or unethical behavior.

Overall, whistleblower laws are important because they encourage people to speak up when they see something wrong happening. This helps to prevent corruption and ensure that companies and organizations are held accountable for their actions.

It is shitty that was a pattern of behavior but I am glad someone is finally standing up for themselves. Like I can be a pretty rigid butthole guy when it comes to getting stuff but a complete lack of empathy or situational awareness shown by the school and their staff is mind blowing. When I was talking about it in the office they all thought I was lying cause it sounds so crazy.

Idk if any of you watch UFC but one time interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall won a fight and said on the mic afterwards “if you feel scared to do something, that’s a pretty good sign you should just go fucking do it” and I believe that applies very much to people wondering if they should R&R. Sure you can but why not just see what happens now?

It was years ago but it was a lower card fight, dude didn't speak good english and they tried asking him his plan, he was like "punch him" they tried to get more info pushing it again and he said "punch him hard" and pointed at his forehead.... I don't remember the results of the fight but dude had a solid plan.

@babycat: got to keep those legs flexible so you don't pull anything, I need to get back into yoga to release and stretch out tension in my muscles. Stretching is where I fail the most with fitness
