From your comment, it's very clear that you've never been in a situation like this.

Have you ever had to report misconduct of a higher-up to HR? HR exists first and foremost to protect the company and they're only helpful insofar as it's in the company's interest. And do you really think the police would be at all interested in getting involved in something like this?

And taking Apple, one of the most well-funded corporations in the world, to court? To spend years and large chunks of savings on litigation for the chance that someone will get a slap on the wrist?

Whew, I'm just saying - maybe people who don't have experience in this area should chill.

This is not true. There are good people in HR who actually believe what they say.

Though comprised of many good people, HR is just the de facto surveillance apparatus of management. This has been shown to be the case many times over.

HR. its in the name. Human Resources. Theyr job is to provide human resources to the company, not to defend employee rights. Thats what unions are for.
