I don't know about Jim Rutt, but my overall impression is that most, if not all, companies are supposedly encouraging this culture of giving "bad news" and non-retaliation. Also reinforced by the usual compliance voodoo about supposedly anonymous reporting opportunities.
I've never gained the impression that that was anything more than lip-service. The two people I know of who dared to say something were shown the door. Quietly, discreetly, done in a way so they wouldn't dare to sue.
Therefore, imho, if you do report anything, make sure it cannot be traced back to you. Or just don't, it usually isn't worth it.

If I'm in this position, you'd have to either give me a lot of money or threaten to kill my family. I'd be surprised if a business tried the latter.
- isilofi 3y agoI don't know. I just know that they left the company, to everyone's surprise, shortly after something was reported, to work on something completely different two towns over.
- hotnfresh 3y agoWhatever else folks may think of them, what I’ve seen of strong unions makes them look very effective at, specifically, making people feel safe speaking up about breaches of policy (including things like discrimination or hostile workplaces) or safety violations.
- wesapien 3y agoNot surprised at all. The behavior of the shitheads is downstream of the assholes at the top.
