This book analyzes the harms related to whistleblower retaliation,
its psychosocial impacts on employees, and the institutional
dysfunction it creates and perpetuates. Stigma and biases against
whistleblowers interfere with their ability to make protected
disclosures when harm to others is at stake. Retaliatory toxic
tactics create an atmosphere and corporate culture that embodies
fear and encourages bystander behavior. In this book, the authors
explore psychosocial impacts across domains that include financial,
legal, social, physical, and emotional well-being. Ten of the 14
chapters specifically examine the toxic tactics of retaliation:
gaslighting, mobbing, marginalizing, shunning, devaluing,
double-binding, career blocking, counter-accusing, bullying, and
doxxing. These toxic tactics are the building blocks of workplace
traumatic stress (WTS) and can lead to posttraumatic stress
disorder (PTSD), depression, substance abuse, and suicide. WTS is a
term that differentiates between workplace violence or job stress,
which can be components of WTS but do not fully describe the
systemic hostile work environment that targets an employee.
Understanding WTS and how it disrupts identity, causes moral
injury, and shatters world views are important aspects for
clinicians treating clients who are victims of this kind of hostile
work environment. The Psychosocial Impacts of Whistleblower
Retaliation is a useful resource offering a new way for social
workers, mental health providers, advocates, and other support
services professionals and practitioners to assist whistleblowers.
It helps clinicians understand how to view patients suffering from
whistleblower retaliation and gives them a lexicon for forensic
evaluations. Lawyers, especially those specializing in employment,
labor, and Qui Tam cases, also could benefit from having a means to
describe the psychosocial impacts of retaliation and WTS on their
clients when filing for compensatory damages for pain and suffering
during judicial proceedings. Finally, the book could appeal to
employees and managers, human resources professionals, victim
rights advocates, elected officials, media personnel, and other
professionals who are interested in learning more about
whistleblower retaliation and its psychosocial and cultural
implications.
