I’ve read all that about how he’s a wimp for not speaking out earlier, but you have to make some allowance for human nature. Who amongst us hasn’t put up with crappy bosses or done things we’d rather not have because it was part of the job and going along seemed like the lesser of two evils?
And, it’s not like this isn’t going to have impact even now. It would have been a far greater shame if he’d never spoken out at all.
I'm sure all of us have.
The difference is that most of us don't turn around and sign book deals to point fingers at those crappy bosses years later.
When some @sshole spends $60,000 of his own money to pay lawyers and other professionals to help meet all of the reporting and disclosure requirements of a public sector job, you can rest assured that the guy has nobody's interests at heart except his own.
