User Reviews

In real world, few people dare to fight against their employer

That's why we never lack headlines of corporate scandals in the news and most of them are revealed by third parties. The only thing we can do is to push the government to make stricter rules and punish those evil companies severely so that they might think twice before wrongdoing.
