    oh yeah. i once got constructively dismissed at an accounting firm because i wasn’t willing to help them commit fraud. the eeoc payment was nice, but what was better was getting their licensure yanked.

      A guy at my last job had a major, fundamental misunderstanding of how the local building code was updated annually. He, and the partner who said I was wrong for “insubordination” when I refused to do the work using outdated codes, ended up in front of the professional engineers board and had to formally make a plan to show how they would never make that mistake again. It wasn’t exactly license revoking, but it felt great to have started that process haha

      The best part was that I know the firm’s code nerd was spoken to to tell me I was wrong and they sent out a company wide notice about making sure your code was updated. No one ever apologized to me. I only submitted the report after they let me go for “not being a good fit”.

      The #1 rule of not getting caught doing crime is don’t do 2 crimes at once. The in #2 rule is don’t makes enemies of people that know where the bodies are buried. Sounds like you worked for idiots.
