“a book about surviving the loss of a spouse show up at their door“

Corporate America is a lot more thuggish than its defenders want you to know.


No it isn't.

Snitches get stitches is as true in the boardroom as it is on the streets. Y'all just haven't seen the wrath of a psychopathic type with something to lose scorned.

Perceived betrayal starts wars, divides families, and gets people killed. We're talking killing 1 guy to prevent or forestall millions to billions in damages, and years in prison for very rich, high profile, powerful people with stakes in one of the biggest money printers in the U.S.

If you think there aren't people who'd gladly make that trade through a proxy that'd whack somebody for a cool 100,000 in a Cayman island or virgin island bank somewhere, taxed and covered by a faked up janitorial contract for a real, yet infrequently occupied warehouse somewhere, you're only deluding yourselves.

You'd qualify as, what's the phrase? "Disney adults."

Doesn't mean the whistleblowing wasn't worth doing. Give 'em hell Barnett.


They are only too happy to delude themselves here. Hacker news is filled with blue pilled dweebs.
