    "Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family."

    I once complained about unethical Behavior about my manager to my HR department and the next day my manager pulled me aside and asked me about it

    HR works to protect the company from lawsuits, not to protect YOU from your coworkers. Unless your issue is big enough to take your employer to court over, HR Will always attempt to sweep it under the rug.

      And if you work at a "disruptive" company where execs believe the government doesn't real, they may blow off even lawsuit material

      And if it's big enough to take them to court, but the lowest risk approach is to fire you, they will find a way

      First you need to make sure there is an investor pissed with the CEO so they would spin your story in the media.
