A bit to unpack here. While a capable GM shouldn't be "scared" of employees calling corporate and they should have a trusted relationship with their peers at that level, employees need to practice and learn to have professional conversations, accept feedback and "manage up" to address differences of opinion. If executive leadership doesn't foster that type of culture and environment, and employees want to work for a company where their opinions are sought after so they have a voice to steer the direction of the company, then they should professionally discuss this with their leaders, and seek a new role where their perspectives are embraced.

As a GM, employees call corporate all the time. In most cases, its not a big deal - I talk with "corporate" daily and usually inform them of anything that I think might get reported up in advance so they can respond appropriately and aren't surprised. Or I call to get help for my site.
The question is, why are they calling? Issues with supervision, ethics? Or just want to call corporate to get assistance with marketing, etc? Do the employees just not like the GM and don't trust them?

Die Mitarbeiter werden zögern, berechtigte Bedenken anzusprechen, was zu einem potenziell toxischen Arbeitsumfeld führt.
