I think it's pretty obvious that protection can only go so far in whistleblowing. If you upset your superiors, they will not resist their humanity to keep you on. A law that says "you can't terminate that person" would be useless because employers can always find a reason to terminate.

What protection can be offered would be something like protection from prosecution. Protection from government nuisance. Protection from lawsuit.

There is more to humanity than base impulse.

I agree that there sometimes exists philosopher kings and executives. But I also think it's a dice roll very much against the whistleblower's favor.
