Podcast 17: Top-Down/Shut-Up Workplaces Breed Disaster
Thursday, June 24th, 2010
Who says workplace culture doesn’t matter? When oil platform engineers tried to warn BP about potential risks of rushing installation of the well without adequate safety checks, they were told to shut up. The environment and the entire Gulf economy pay. In bullying-prone workplaces, the rules always dictate command and control from the top, no use even raising concerns, you’ll have your head handed to you. Targets pay with their health, jobs, careers. A Gary Namie podcast.

Kudos to newbie Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson (FL-8th Dist) who bluntly called out colleagues who are stalling on health insurance reform. Grayson was outraged by the Cambridge Health Alliance study revealing that people without private insurance had a 40 percent higher risk of dying than insured people, an unconsionable outcome in the “richest country in the world” accounting for 44,579 adult deaths in 2005 from uninsurance. We should all be outraged. However, truth telling, calling out bullies, can be hazardous.
