SAP accused of age discrimination, retaliation by US whistleblower SAP is being sued for age discrimination and retaliation by an employee who alleges he was moved to a meaningless role after he asked for an investigation of potentially anti-competitive practices. Michael Nedrow, who worked as an SAP exec for more than eight years, is bringing the civil action in the District Court for the …
""It was specifically created in response to Plaintiff's legal claims, and designed to be so demeaning that Plaintiff would quit. "
Demeaning in what way exactly?
lol some people attach too much of their identity to the job they do. "Retire in place"...so what? Sit around, do nothing, get paid.
By the way, has whistleblowing ever worked out well for anybody? If you want to go down that road you better have an exit strategy planned well in advance
That's not a strategy, that's a gamble.
If your plan - thought out in advance before you blow the whistle - is to sue for discrimination (age-related in this case), it would be argued that you're acting in bad faith from the start, and the act of whistleblowing is just the golden ticket.
> That's not what I wrote.
They never said it was. What they said was that it was the logical *outcome* of what you wrote, which- as per my comment- it certainly was.
> I'm sorry that you suck at reading comprehension.
It's ironic, then, that you clearly suck at reading comprehension yourself! :-)

Now you're saying that
> "If your plan - thought out in advance before you blow the whistle - is to sue for discrimination"
So, you're putting the onus on a whistleblower to have to protect themselves, and when they do so by having an exit strategy "planned well in advance" AS YOU YOURSELF SUGGESTED(!) you would use that against them for having exploited the situation?
Yeah, right.
If I unlock my front door and stick a sign on it that says 'front door broken, do not steal anything' and you walk in and steal something, I presume you'd also claim that it's unfair if there's police round the corner?
I do agree that whistle blowing often does not work out well, but suing for discrimination is hardly bad faith, when the obvious way to avoid this 'trap' is to act ethically and legally.
