Moreover, according to employment law firm Seyfarth Shaw, the number of whistleblower complaints to regulators has been climbing, up about 20% since 2008 -- but the number of cases that have been resolved has stayed flat, rising barely 0.5% over the same period. "Having so many open cases hanging around creates a really awkward situation for employers and employees alike," notes James Curtis, a Seyfarth Shaw partner in Chicago. "The statutes prohibiting retaliation against whistleblowers carry heavy penalties, so companies have to tread very carefully to avoid even the appearance of punishing an employee who has reported misconduct."
此外,根据专攻劳工法的律师事务所Seyfarth Shaw的数据,监管者收到的检举数量持续上升,从2008年以来了增加20%,但结案数量几乎不变,同期内仅上升了0.5% 。“这么多未结案的诉讼让公司和雇员都很尴尬,”Seyfarth Shaw驻芝加哥的合伙人詹姆斯•柯蒂斯指出。“法律严禁打击报复,对此类行为给予严厉处罚,所以公司都会小心翼翼地处理,避免给人留下惩罚告密者的印象。”
You don't mention whether the behavior you've witnessed is illegal, or whether it's merely unsavory. If it's the latter, here's a bit of background you might find intriguing: More than half (52%) of employees in companies with revenues of $5 billion or more say they have observed unethical (but usually not illegal) behavior by colleagues over the past 12 months, according to astudy by nonprofit research group Ethics Resource Center. At companies with sales of less than $5 billion, the percentage is 45%.
