Talk:Organizational retaliatory behavior

Proposed merger
Note that the proposer of the merger, User:The_Anome, has a history of dabbling in issues that might not seem to have any relationship to whistleblowing, but are in fact closely connected. He seems to be taking an anti-whistleblower POV and is actively involved in revisionism which turns out to work to the detriment of whistleblowers.

Large organizations sometimes find it advantageous to claim that whistleblowers are mentally ill. This is a form of "organizational retaliatory behavior".

The_Anome has been involved in editing Persecutory Delusions, adding unsupported material, adding the phrase "persecutory delusions" to the James Tilly article so he could justify adding a reference to James Tilly's case in the Persecutory Delusions article, has butted heads with at least a couple of Wikipedians over organized harassment campaigns run by governments, and in general, seems really interested in pushing a particular point of view that is not favorable to anyone claiming they are being persecuted or harassed by a large organization.

His proposed merger should be considered in light of the above.  Jeremy stalked (law 296) 02:20, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * This article is extremely poor quality. Regardless of the original intention of the merge proposal, I think it should be considered. Gigs (talk) 01:04, 17 November 2010 (UTC)


 * This article should not be merged with whistleblowing as they are not the same thing. A much closer fit would be counterproductive work behavior (CWB). The main difference between CWB and retaliatory behavior is the motive. Retaliation is harmful behavior done in response to some perceived mistreatment or injustice. CWB is more general and includes harmful behaviors done for other reasons. Psyc12 (talk) 23:18, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
