Who’s to blame for the “Going Postal” Workplace Murders in 80’s & 90’s America?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes Becca Platsky, co-host of the Corporate Gossip podcast, to discuss the string of postal shootings that haunted America in the 1980’s and 90’s. Who or what was responsible for the toxic work environment that prevailed at the USPS? Did a fetishization with productivity have something to do with it? Could a top down abusive management approach be to blame? And why do we as a society continue to value profit over people? Where is the empathy?! Producer Clayton Early and Associate Producer Krystal Dinsberg join the conversation. 

LIVE SHOW on May 2nd at The Elysian Theater in Los Angeles. Don’t miss the fun. Grab your tix HERE!
