So the whistleblower snitched on the company, due to their unethical practices, and then insisted on keeping their job there?

They requested to not be punished by being fired from their job, and ostracized from being hired anywhere else in their industry, for doing the right thing, yes.

My man, the reputation of being a whistleblower for Exxon Mobile is incredibly marketable. Some NGOs would kill for the guy.

I would think that orgs wouldn't wanna be associated with them for fear of pushback from big oil. Seems more like... Infamy to me

And why exactly push back on the whistleblowers exactly? Let's imagine Greenpeace here for a second. What makes them fear the legal repercussions?

I looked up Greenpeace. That's a cool org. I would think that the gradual destruction of their industry is more of a threat than legal fees. Unless there's enough individual cases to do some real damage

One thing I learned is that one way to change unethical companies is to work for them, and try to influence others there.
