i was a warehouse clerk in an environment that was, let's say, "less than ethical". The supervisors were having the techs draw extra supplies, trading them for favour, then the supervisors were doing side work for cash with company trucks and ill gotten parts.
The breaking point came when the supervisor had a talk with me about too much gear being issued. Irony is the word we are looking for here. I put my foot down and started refusing to issue extra gear and involved the district manager.
Not surprisingly, there was a movement to get rid of me. When I got written up on a pretext I started wearing my kilts to work, and let it be known that if I was fired I would cry to the ACLU that I was fired for being "a man who wears skirts, because that's who I am". Took them a year, but they finally fired me on a pretext.
They showed up at the unemployment hearing with three managers and two lawyers, got Brazilian waxed anyway. They thought I was serious about going to the ACLU. Wonder how much they spent on preparing for the storm that never came?
They probably could have had some nice kilts made for that kind of coin.
So yes, sometimes it is good to shake things up a bit. Wearing your kilt can do the trick.
