Simple human group dynamics. In their "collective wisdom" a group of people, in this case, a company, simply can't be wrong. The disgruntled employee outlier is the one that's in the wrong. Human nature is to punish those who "rock the boat", even if they rock said boat with good reason.

Good point. It's the same dynamic as with burnout, where it's common to assume that it's the burned-out employee that is sick/weak, rather than the company.
