However, the influence from all levels of management puts employees into positions where safety is no longer a priority. Risk management practices by upper level management have placed the public and the employees into various forms of danger.

Many of these dangers are way too large for any one or two employees to resolve. Any employee that “brushes against the grain” of the PG&E mandate, or practice at the time, will suffer some sort of retribution from pressure or harassment to even threats of different natures.

Most employees’ have a high level of distrust as well as various degrees of paranoia with their employer, PG&E and what they may retaliate with. I have spoken with one employee that have mentioned fears of being “gunned down” in front of their home if they were to disclose illegal practices by the company.

Also within two separate employees on separate occasions, they were concerned that the food that PG&E was serving us during a meeting might be “tainted”. I am in no way suggesting that this is an even remotely or likely possibility that either of these outcomes would happen, but I wanted to emphasize the extent at which the paranoia is, however unjustified it may be.

The company has created an atmosphere of intimidation, it has strangled it’s employee’s creativity, self-worth and sense of wellbeing. Leaving us in despair with their action-less, empty words, we are without direction and a common goal. The psychotic nature of PG&E is a place where, “Black is White”, “Up is Down” performing tasks that contradict the common senses.

It’s more important to PG&E to “look like” they’re saving money than “actually” saving money.

If you’re the type of person that “cares”, than this company is hard company to work for.

PG&E has many quite decent caring people working there and some heroic linemen.

The PG$E organization and PG$E Executive Management are willing to kill people and harm millions of children for their own money, job security and short term performance parameters.
