I think any lawyer representing a whistleblower should advise them to make a clear, documented, and witnessed statement about having no intention of committing suicide.

Red flags 🚩🚩🚩

Years of “Performance Management” (PM) reviews cited in the lawsuit show Barnett was frequently being scolded for documenting issues on paper and in emails, and even, it seems, being too “knowledgeable.” In a July 2014 PM, cited in the lawsuit, a senior quality manager allegedly wrote, “John is very knowledgeable almost to a fault.” This “knowledge,” the manager wrote, “gets in the way at times when issues arise. John likes to be right and at times rechallenges issues that appear to [be] resolved at a round table.” In the same review, under the heading “Delivers Results,” Barnett, who prior to being transferred to South Carolina only received perfect scores, had received a 2 out of 5 score. This “Opportunity for Improvement” was because of his habit of documenting issues in writing. The PM noted that “John still needs to learn the art of F2F (‘face to face’) engagement to address and follow up on issues instead of using e-mail to express process violations.”

Good. Those money grubbing likely murderers at Boeing can get fucked.

So... some Boeing Exec read "Ministry of the Future" and really liked the chapter about blowing up airplanes and thought, "Yeah... I think I can make that happen."
