| It can change if the culture changes and leads to changes in our laws. Not everyone's ambition is chilled by an ogre, because not every boss or work environment is toxic, On Broadway or anywhere else. But what I think we know about Rudin (unless someone knows something I don't) is that his is learned behavior and he can control it (because he does when he knows he needs to). He does not throw things at Bob Wankel, or Hugh Jackman, or Aaron Sorkin, etc etc etc. His behavior needs mega doses of therapy, but it also needs regulation. There needs to be a price, and a mechanism for exacting that price, because that's what he (and I am using him only as a placeholder) understands. Who is going to make this happen? Ironically, one person who could is seemingly even worse himself. | |

He probably considers anyone else as superfluous, dispensable, and not worthy of his respect or attention. I actually knew someone who behaved a lot like Rudin who passed away in his mid-forties. Heart attack. The body can't sustain production of this type of behavior for too long. It's not healthy. |

| This references another post you made about our industry, but one of the problems is that there isn't really an HR department at most theaters and production companies. I've seen people in charge do and say things that would get them fired, or at least written up, if there was a functional HR department, but we don't have those. It also doesn't help that in many of these cases, the person doing the abuse is also the person who writes the checks. At the end of the day, they have the power and no one to tell them not to use it. | |
