In today’s Big Story podcast, it’s called The Misfire Report, and it details an investigation into seven contract researchers in British Columbia’s health ministry. Seven researchers were suspended or terminated as a result, and one of those researchers took his own life.
But the researchers weren’t guilty of anything. There should never have been an investigation — or, if there had to be one, nobody should ever have lost their job, never mind their life, as a result. So how did this go so badly wrong? And what can we learn about what happened as a result?
