I don’t think that’s the takeaway. I think the comment simply meant to shed some light on the personal consequencea of the whistleblower that might go under the radar - both for readers and the whistleblowers themselves prior to the act.

That was also my understanding. There are countries (in EU) where filming your layoff might land you in jail (privacy, obstruction of property, trade secrets).
