Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:47:57 +0000 http://lolindrath.dyndns.org/lolindrath/wordpress/2003/02/24/whippersnapper-whistleblowers-beware-youre-in-a-tough-business/#comment-265272 I totally agree with all the points in this article. However, I hope that people don't take this to mean not to speak up. There are ways to do it proportionately to your position and your role. For example, if a coworker makes a sexist comment, you don't need to call HR or sue to make an impact. You can just say "Don't say that" or "That's kind of offensive". Any comment is better than no comment, as newbies to the corporate world may not yet be sensitized to the impact that kind of language has in a workplace.
