Yes, well I can see your narrative.. :)

At any rate, all I am saying is workplaces are astoundingly good at filtering negative information about themselves from past employees and there are plenty of psychologists who can tell you why whistleblowers are rare and often get the brunt of the negativity.

There are a million examples of the Rashomon that don't have the same flaws as using it to discredit what little information you can find in public about a workplace.

Obviously you should not assume everything is true or literal, but if many ex and even current employees are talking then its highly likely they were traumatized in a way that overrides their natural self interest. So ignore them at your peril.
