Parts of this blog post read like they are nearly plagiarized right out of Whistleblowers: Broken Lives and Organizational Power by C. Fred Alford

good post otherwise

I haven’t read the book so not validating the plagiarism claim, but citing a book in a biblio isn’t a license to steal content

It looks like the author copied and pasted from the book and used a thesaurus to change a few words here and there. A reference list is not attribution.
