Hi, need to submit a 1000 words essay on the topic Whistle Blower Case Analyze. Mr. Richard Bagley.

With this consideration, the study aims to evaluate the attitude of the colleagues of Mr. Bagley when he became a whistle blower. Taking references from the a few case examples under Federal law, the study will thus aim at representing personal conducts based on professional and/or ethical standards in a similar scenario as faced by Mr. Bagley. ANALYSIS OF THE CASE AND ARGUMENT From an overall evaluation of the case scenario, it is determined that Richard Bagley was a senior financial officer in TRW Inc’s space division. After completing his MBA from UCLA, he joined TRW as a staff accountant. However, within a span of few years, he proved himself to be an honest and hardworking company person which facilitated him to gain promotion as a top financial manager. Consequently, in the period of late 1980s, he commenced to divulge and take more note of the activities performed by top managers of the company. He asked questions about TRW’s practice related to shifting research and development (R&amp.D) expenses with regard to commercial projects on government contracts. In due course of time, he became quite isolated and was laid off by his company from his position as a chief financial officer primarily because of raising concerns internally regarding the organizational unit’s accounting related practices. It is found that he, with the aid of Federal officials and supportive legal system, was able to attain a positive verdict for his whistleblowing case and derive a major reward. The government Justice Department awarded near about US$27.2 million. Moreover, after the acquisition of TRW by Northrop Grumman Corp, it agreed to pay US$111.2 million for resolving the claims filed against it. Under federal law, the monetary share bestowed to Richard Bagley as settlement amounted to around 24.5%, which can be termed as nearly the maximum possible figure. Consequently, it has been analyzed from the case that despite such a major victory it hardly brought overwhelming satisfaction to Mr. Bagley as for his act of sacrifice through whistle-blowing he was rendered almost homeless and with very little monetary asset. It is further evaluated that such an act can severely affect a person’s health and reputation. At times, similar to Mr. Bagley, a person can find it quite hard to find another job which in turn certainly affects his/her livelihood. It is further analyzed from a number of related case examples provided in the case that without support from government authorities chances of winning become quite less for a person in whistleblowing cases. A whistleblower can become quite devastated following the loss of such cases which can even lead the person to commit suicide. Therefore, it can be said the despite the presence of False Claims Act and prospective support from legal authorities and government, there are generally rare cases of whistleblowing as people find it quite alarming to raise their voices against organizational hierarchies to bring to light organizational malpractices (Los Angeles Times, “For Whistle-Blowers, Virtue May Be the Only Reward”). DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ATTITUDE OF MR. BAGLEY’S COLLEGAUES According to the provided case scenario, it can be observed that the attitude of colleagues of Mr. Bagley became quite altered when they knew that he became a whistle blower against the organization. It is determined that after his act he became quite isolated as his colleagues started to refrain from him.
