Lots of companies are run by bad people who should never run companies. Sometimes you don't know they're bad until they completely fail to handle adversity properly.

A company I once worked for was violating several state laws. When I brought it to the owner's attention, he threatened to sue me. When I reported it to the state†, he fired me and said he was going to send his lawyers after me.

They never got the chance. The state shut him down a few weeks later.

†Note: When you report something to the state, in some states, you have no right to privacy. Not every state has whistleblower protections. This was explained to me by the state liaison I spoke with. He said under state law, he had to tell the employer who filed the complaint.
