Not sure if this is rhetorical, but there are Wiki entries, investigative articles, documentaries, and even entire books dedicated to corporate malpractice and its consequences over the past century.

But now you are talking about malpractice. I would argue a regular employee is just much exposed to legal risk. I would argue that their risk is actually higher, because they don't have a full office of corporate lawyers to defend them.

Take the VW Diesel scandal, several engineers went to jail over this. In contrast Winterkorn has been charged, but AFAIK the case has been suspended and I'm not sure if it will ever go forward.
