Tuesday 7th February - the whistle-blower's table

Some time ago, an organisation I worked for was having difficulties with their IT systems and news of this leaked to the press in the form of internal emails over a period of weeks. The ensuing coverage by the press ensured embarrassment for our management and my colleagues. It also placed us all under suspicion of causing the leaks.

Some time after I left, a former colleague admitted to me that he had been the one who leaked the emails to the press. A pretty low act in my opinion. He would have been prosecuted in the UK or US if he had been doing the same there.
