Document Summary
Degeorges"s whistle-blowing criteria (con"t from week 4 -jan 2- lecture): Permissible if: seeks to prevent serious harm, one informs one"s superior to no affect, one exhausts all internal appeals to no affect. Obligatory if 1-3 : one has evidence of potential harm, probability of success of stopping harm if whistle-blowing. Criteria 4 and 5 are too stringent and also partially out of one"s control (we should get rid of them) Obligatory if: 1) the harm is serious enough threat to leg and limb . External make it public to the media. Personal harm directed at you (most popular: sexual harassment) vs. impersonal harm not directed at you. Open openly blow the whistle if you divulge your identity vs. Current whistle blowing on current employer vs. Constructive dismissal: employer makes steps to make you quit (making your life miserable) illegal, but it still happens.
