Right now, Huck.

Ever since the early days of the B707, pilots have been taught ...use the rudder very carefully, on a large jet transport it is a very powerful control surface, especially at higher speeds.

It would seem that some bright new guy, in a position of 'authority' in some airlines' training department has/have decided to use the rudder in a very INappropriate way.

A few will never learn.
