What a crock of shit!! I myself, being a whistleblower that followed the correct "process," had no protection against retaliation. I still haven't recovered from that lovely experience. Statistics say that 75% of whistleblowers, that followed the steps not only experienced retaliation within their workplace including, harassment, humiliation, intimidation and termination of their employment. I can back this up with what I and my family went through once I made that decision. They also don't mention how these companies intimidate families in the aftermath of calling out horrendous things. Also.. look at Assange and Snowden where we're their rights and protection.. one is in jail and the other in exile, where is their protection? I believe new improvements in legislation must be updated soon and help protect whistleblowers world wide. They are assets not liabilities!! They stand in the moral goodness and are honest about what they report in protection of others. Boom. 💫😎

I had no clue of this Office as I filed EEO in 2002 2004. Case trickery all the way to 2024. Officials did nothing

We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.

I was also retaliated against.

I was horribly retaliated against for exposing wrongdoing at the V.A.. the V.A made me so sick that I had to get a psychologist to speak with about the toxicity. TO DATE: NOT A SINGLE AMERICAN LEADER HAS INVESTIGATED my case. Maybe black employees don’t count.. I was fired for disclosing wrongdoing. I am homeless now. I appreciate your video.. but OSC was part of the problem NOT part of the solution. I am homeless because I made a disclosure that our vets were in danger from lack of oversight. I have enough evidence to sink a ship. My own country not only injured me but more importantly our veterans.. specially 11,000 vets. The Law does NOT PROTECT WHISTLEBLOWERS LIKE MYSELF.. thanks for ruin my life OSC!

Unfortunately, this video is not true. On your first communication, the OSC will say “we’re a small office”….etc. I reported a federal employee that falsified documentation intentionally. I was then summoned to a Magistrate Court by that individual, for submitting anonymous information to their job. How is that not a consciousnesses of guilt. I relayed this to the OSC, because it was retaliation. The OSC, refused to investigate the initial complaint (falsification). Then used circular logic about the Whistleblower. Basically saying the agency did not retaliate against me. It is the the people/employees within the agency that retaliate. I’m a paying union member & the local President, informed me that I would not have the Union Support. Furthermore, the President relayed to me that I will get fired if I keep pursuing this & the Federal Government does not want to look bad. I even asked my deputy director about it, and they refused to respond. The Ops Director & CDC Director previous & current are aware of this ordeal. No one will even respond to me about it. In all my advice would be to not report wrongdoing, because it’s obvious that integrity is subjective.

Thanks for doing this video. I found it clear, concise and very helpful.

Your office may protect Federal Employees, but you do nothing to protect private sector employees working for Federal Contractors who violate the laws. I am a State Whistleblower who assisted state agencies through my complaint and mounds of evidence used to administratively fine their licensee who violated numerous laws. He fired me and has continuously retaliated and libeled me publicly and somehow that agency saw it fit to accept the fines and reinstate my employer’s state licenses. Nobody has even attempted to make me whole. The court is now failing me through protecting that business because they’re a vendor for their court systems so my attorney was threatened with sanctions if he did not withdraw. He withdrew and now my employer’s attorney is suing me for filing a frivolous lawsuit when all I wanted to do was not break the law. I am proof positive that no good deed goes unpunished and government offices/departments/agencies/etc. do not really care about protecting those of us who abide by the law. Even worse, they contribute to further harming us because they’ll send the criminals back into the workforce to create more victims so the government can collect more fines and so the vicious cycle repeats. The entire system is corrupt and while this video should be inspiring and provide hope to those of us who have been violated, I can assure everyone that nobody is actually protecting those of us who abide by the law. These feel good videos are just slick marketing ploys to me until I can see some action with my case. Somebody prove me wrong.

The Office of (Use-LESS) Counsel does NOT care about whistleblowers. They refused me help and strung me along for months. The Office of (Use-LESS) Counsel enabled the retaliation in my case by doing NOTHING and wasting my precious time. The Office of (Use-LESS) Counsel LOVES to politic and is solely focused on their own career advancement cherry picking high profile cases for their own gain and PR. I was a Veterans Affairs Whistleblower that was retaliated against. The Office of (Use-LESS) Counsel is a horrible and useless organization. This list includes liars, enablers, and crooks, among others: * Politicians * Office of [Use-LESS] Counsel (OSC) * The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs * Office of Resolution [MIS]-Management (ORM) * Merit-(LESS) System Protection Board (MSPB) * (UN)-Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)

Just like the Constitution it all sounds good on paper . No one has atood with me and everything i proved.

This video is as misleading as the reality they care or are here to help, they are as much part of the problem as the individuals who violated your rights, and or broke laws doing it. 1. I have files more than a few OSC companies and provided substantial evidence over years that is always minimized and rejected 90% of the time no matter how damning your evidence is or deserving of an investigation. In most case your just given the right to be heard by the MSPB. 2. It takes them months to years to complete an investigation even if your evidence is a smoking gun. The energy they put into your investigation is minimal, they don’t update you on progress often and you will be luck if your case is not transferred between OSC attorneys less than twice. 3. They are very pro agency, everything they can do to minimize and discourage you from pushing forward they will. In the end they encourage you to accept what the agency offers as more than fair when it doesn’t even scratch the surface to make up or satisfy what the agency individuals have done to you, your career or your family. And if you don’t accept, they threaten (and will) abandon you closing your case without making them (agency) fix what they’ve done even if it was an outrageous violation of law, rule or regulation. In the end no matter how long it took for them to finish (3 yrs for me) in the end they tell you they are sorry, the system is what it is and they are limited in what they can do (which is not so true) and it is what it is. They decide what that your pain and suffering is worth a very low dollar amount they call the precedence at this time, and sides with the agency encouraging you to take it, then allows the agency to go on doing the same things to you and others over and over on the taxpayers dime. So you still lose even if you win, same difference with the Merit System Protection Board (MSPB). This is no different than how civil rights were accepted and conspired against in a culture among the privileged in the 50s and 60’s. The deck is stacked and they (agency/the privileged) have a license to do whatever they want to you, with no fear of punishment. Them saying they are here for you is a flat out lie that only looks good on paper until you go to them for help and learn the truth. Then if you accept the scraps they toss at you, they gage you from talking about it so no one will know if you do sell out (sell your soul for pennies) so OSC or MSPB can drop your complaint. The only thing you can do is what they want (even if it’s against the law) in this day and time or leave your career, because they are all in bed together against victims. FACT! CJ

Has not helped me even a little

I got alquida in y'all cia and in Washington also down in Nebo.

This is disgusting

What a load of Crock! I had contacted your agency multiple times with no assistance available. Why do you lie? Say something OSC! Like TELLING THE TRUTH.
