VW encourages whisle blowers.

Well, this is a first. At least the first I can remember. You'll need to take into account that I'm old and feeble.

To get to the bottom of the emissions scandal, VW states "employees [Edit] have nothing to fear from the company in the way of repercussions on the job such as being fired or held liable for damages whistle blowers". However, there are other stipulations.

It will be interesting to see if any come forward and for those who do what happens to them.

Well, I don't know what we should expect them to say at this point. Judging by the deals VW is offering in the US, their cars are not exactly flying off the lots. I expect they have a shit ton of damage control to do.

Yep, I've been watching the deals also. May be time to buy VW again. Last one I owned was a diesel rabbit. Don't think I'll go diesel again though.

For a month ... Sounds like a recipe for identifying troublemakers, to me.

Whistle blowers should never have to face repercussions for doing the right thing. The fact that it's specifically mentioned indicates a general policy to the contrary.

Exactly. It bespeaks a corporate culture wherein the nail that sticks up gets hammered down.
