However, while they (Boeing) claim that their training aims to “be responsive to emergent needs” and “be collaborative via a social component,” they fail to adequately respond to employee concerns and foster a spirit of collaboration within their own company. As a result, this has lead to the creation of a toxic company culture with employees whose voices remain unheard.For employees in general, Carnegie Mellon University professor Brandy Aven says: “There's often tension between ensuring safety and increasing profits, but when times are good, they can feel enormous pressure to stay quiet about safety concerns.”

Furthermore, there’s a tendency to avoid speaking up so that you don’t “get in the way of the success of the endeavors of the organization,” which is further exacerbated by the lack of channels available to employees to communicate these concerns in the first place.
