QUOTED. Nov. 15, 2018. Beth Weinman.
Executive Summary
Beth Weinman, a former enforcement lawyer in US FDA’s Office of Chief Counsel, says "a big payout" is a strong carrot for someone to file a whistleblower complaint against a device-maker. Check out what Weinman says is another top motivator here.
"I think also fear may motivate whistleblowers. If you're working at a company and you're getting mixed messages about compliance – you have policies that say one thing and you have management telling you something else, or there's a wink-wink, nod-nod going around that you're not really sure what you're doing is OK, one way people may think they can protect themselves is to lodge a complaint and, if their concerns are not heard, file a whistleblower lawsuit." –Beth Weinman, attorney, Ropes & Gray
