The Weird Stuff We See As Translators: Whistleblowing On The Rise? [ENG]

In today's episode, Katie and Danny discuss the increasing trend of
translation jobs related to whistleblowing in Germany, prompting a
reflection on the implications and consequences of such practices.
The conversation delves into the potential impact on workplace
dynamics and the perception of a surveillance-like environment
within companies. There is a contrast drawn between the approach to
handling issues in German companies, where whistleblowing seems
prevalent, and the more informal and less punitive attitude
observed in UK businesses. Furthermore, they express concerns about
the effectiveness of whistleblowing systems, questioning the true
extent of anonymity and protection for whistleblowers. The episode
highlights skepticism regarding the promise of no reprisals and the
potential repercussions faced by those who come forward with
information.
