How was Sherron Watkinis of Enron a typical whistleblower? An atypical whistleblower?
Ms. Watkins is typical of whistleblowers because she had knowledge of damaging information, and she disclosed it to her supervisor's superior. However, she was an atypical whistleblower because as an accountant, she had sufficient expertise to know that her corporation was possibly breaking the law and defrauding the public. Second, her disclosure to the president of the company did not lead to the type of investigation that was necessary to stop any wrongdoing. Her actions did not cause the immediate collapse of Enron. Third, even though she blew the whistle on her boss, she did not immediately get fired; in fact, she received praise for the action.
