The family of John Barnett, a former Boeing quality manager and whistle-blower, has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the company following his suicide in 2024. Barnett, who retired early due to alleged retaliation for raising safety concerns, suffered from severe mental health issues according to his family. The lawsuit alleges that Boeing contributed significantly to his depression and anxiety. Barnett's whistle-blowing received attention from major media outlets, and despite Boeing's expression of condolences, the company has historically disputed his claims regarding quality and safety failures.
The lawsuit alleges that Boeing's actions caused the unbearable mental health struggles of whistle-blower John Barnett, ultimately leading to his tragic suicide.
Boeing's conduct was a clear cause of Mr. Barnett's death, emphasizing the impact of organizational culture on employee mental health.
