Did you report to your employer or an outside agency that you suspected your employer or its employees were engaging in illegal or unlawful conduct? Did you point out to your employer a health and safety concern, such as an unsafe condition at the workplace or an issue involving patient safety? Did you refuse to engage in activities because you believed it might be illegal? If so, you might be a whistleblower.
If you engaged in these activities and your employer took action against you for your complaints or refusals, you might be the victim of whistleblower retaliation. Retaliation for whistleblowing is not just limited to wrongful termination, but can take many forms, including unfair discipline, suspension, demotion, loss of benefits and opportunities, unfavorable assignments/shifts, to name a few.
