Pfizer’s whistleblowing episode is an eye opener for employees, the government and people in general. If it weren’t for the courage of Kopchinski, the deception of Pfizer would not have been known to the public. The whistleblower received a hefty cash settlement amount at the expense of his career and several years of financial suffering. Pfizer itself was not penalized or closed down but it had to face the media and pay the settlement amount. The whistleblower lost his job and while he was working at Pfizer he faced the negative work environment and resistance from the management. However, he now has the future of his children secure but he was lucky as everyone does is not remunerated for whistleblowing. In the B&W case, Wigand suffered tremendously and was even threatened to be murdered for whistleblowing even though the law forbids retaliation. NIH fired Fishbein and later rehired him for whistleblowing. However, the firm was within lawful parameters as Fishbein was not protected by whistleblowing laws. Duke Energy retaliated with Stone by posting him in another state. Stone-faced difficulties at the workplace and was not supported by anyone there. The managers of the respective firms play a crucial role in resolving the whistleblowing issue. It may even be a misunderstanding which could lead to whistleblowing and later, negatively portrayed by media. The managers could handle whistleblowers respectfully and maybe things would not blow out of proportion. The managers also have the power to correct such acts within the firm and instill ethical values so that acts that trigger whistleblowing may not occur.

The recommendations suggest improvements within the HR department like establishing ethical values and systems, educating the employees, and training of management.
