[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9629172, member: 18"] Yeah this is the thing. It's not about "nobility", that's a cheap deflection, it's noteworthy that someone said this (which is taking a risk in some ways), and frankly, in the context of GAMA, nothing she's said is remotely implausible or even really surprising. The way people characterize stuff like this often betrays, imho, that they've encountered very troubling situations and decided to say nothing about them (I certainly have), and are really talking about their [I]own[/I] internal reasons/excuses for not publicly putting a company on blast - i.e. projecting, I believe is the old psychological term (unless I'm out of date). On top of that, the whole "Oh they will definitely regret this!!!" attitude sometimes borders on the unrealistic/fetishistic. The reality is, that's not always the case. It depends very much on what the person involved is doing next, what the industry is, and how high-profile the statement was. Most companies do not, in fact, do in-depth checks on everything an employee has ever said (if they check at all - hell many companies fail to even check criminal records!), and if an employee has a strong history/CV, may well not even care even if they do find out. Especially if the criticisms seem potentially plausible or merited. [/QUOTE]
