Still very sad situation in Irwindale. I got a call from the Media Department at Southern California Edison at 5:15 a.m. on
Saturday morning, and was given this update that I posted on the Los Cerritos Community News Website.
God Bless the families of the victims....

I am an SCE employee, and posting these comments under a pseudonym.
Southern California Edison is a company that runs on FEAR. Managers bully their employees to perform. Bullying ranges from in-your-face yelling and making violent gestures, to more subtle, persistent forms, like making jokes at an employee's expense; discrediting or maligning employees at meetings attended by hundreds of people; applying uneven performance standards among his or her reports; or going out of the way to omit an individual when handing out kudos to a particular group.
Based on my own experiences, what I've observed, and what I've heard from colleagues, I believe Turner's actions were the result of ongoing, systematic bullying by his manager. Bullying behavior at SCE flies under the radar, and its existence is almost always denied. When it is reported, the company refuses to get involved, tells the employee to "work it out" with her or her manager, or makes the employee feel at fault.
The employee deals with this in his or her own way. Some learn to live with it, based on the mistaken assumption it's better than being unemployed. Others let the constant browbeating, humiliation, ridicule and undue penalization get the better of them and launch into a shooting rampage.
As the Rivergrade story unfolds, I think we'll find that Turner's actions were not the result of a single event, but were caused by management's constant, ongoing bullying and humiliation, which is so germaine to the Southern California Edison culture.
