Only time Ive been close to this was when I had a flash drive of emails asking to do illegal stuff like work off the clock on agendas/updates and stuff like that and then was fired for refusing a promotion to a position I was demoted out of 3 months prior with a $2 pay cut (cause company thought it was easy and then they couldnt replace me with anyone but still wanted to low ball me).

Then I learned even in California that wasnt really a case since no one would take it and not gonna lie that was an eye opening experience lol. You ever see similar issues that arent necessarily grey but relate to general public misconceptions?

You generally have to object or refuse to participate in the illegal activity and then be fired for that (helps if it's shortly after the objection/refusal). The company will always say that they fired you for something else, but that's why the specific facts of each case are important. But yeah like I said, even if there is a potential case, lots of law firms/lawyers won't touch it because they're so hard to win.
