Shortly after taking a new job with the State I discovered fraud that was occurring with the applicants for a tax credit program. At the same time of discovery I also got a new boss. I spoke up several times about the fraud that was occurring to both my new boss and our director, of which they continued to push me down or give excuses. I unfortunately also had several health issues come up during this time. My boss started exclusively pushing certain things that only I was required to do in the event of my absences...while other co-workers were missing just as much if not more and they did not have the same requirements. I also had never been required to do such when working under other agencies with the state. After a disturbing encounter with my new boss, I expressed my grievances to HR and had just outed the department on the fraud to the auditors office of the state, of which I was advised at the point that I was free to say whatever that I was protected as a whistle blower. My boss continued to continuously be down my back regardless that I was told that he could no longer do so. I quit my position just over 3 weeks ago because of my bosses treatment to me.
I am wondering if I have legal options in this situation and what they would be and that this is in the State of Missouri.
