I hope you reconsider your use of a throwaway account for this sort of comment—This sort of feedback and experience is very valuable and if the culture of the company you're in or the companies your working with discourage this sort of feedback, it's only going to create chilling effect that prevents more people from coming forward

Would prefer to stick to a throwaway, sorry. It’s not that such feedback is discouraged by my company, it’s been very much escalated. However the response to these incidents had legal repercussions and my replies here aren’t subject to attorney-client privilege.

While whistleblower protections (at least used to) safeguard against government persecution, I work for a private company and don’t want my livelihood risked. I did what I could to escalate through official channels.
