Workaround for the contractors
My group lost 5 hard badge, some with 20 years, but still has 5 "contractors" some with as little as 1 year. They do the exact same job as the blue badges employees but they were titled as "suppliers" by the contract house they work for. Nice... — read more
Why has Boeing forced people who received layoff notices to turn in their badge and leave Boeing property within five minutes?
Rather than letting the person work for the remaining 60 days? In the news a guy said he was given five minutes to pack up and say goodbye to his coworkers before being escorted outside the gate by Boeing security after he was told he was being laid... — read more
I'm starting to think Kelly Ortberg can pull things off and turn Boeing around.
But it's going to take time. The most important thing right now Ortberg needs to do without delay is firing bad Boeing managers. Boeing needs to also get out of the Social Engineering business. DEI, Woke and whatever else it's called.
More Layoffs
Just heard there will be a wave 3 in Washington. Possibly 10k+ let go. Probably not IAM tho
The breakdown of the 3,876 layoff notices (as of December 8)

Is there any other plan besides layoffs?
No point in layoffs unless there’s a very serious plan on how to dig us out of a hole.
Boeing layoffs continue

So far.. wave two has being light
I heard just a handful of notices being given. Many groups were (virtually or literally) not impacted. That is good news; but it makes you wonder how they are they going to reach the 17K.
Re-hire openings
Funny how Boeing distribution lays people off and then turns around and posts their positions on the job sites.
If you're put on a PIP, you're as good as gone
Boeing is downright spiteful to employees who have been issued, PIPs in most cases unjustifiably. 10 out of 10 employees issued PIPs at Boeing are terminated. Boeing HR purposely defines PIPs to ensure employee failure. What PIPs allows Boeing to do... — read more

What are some best estimates in the number of Boeing managers that will actually be laid off? Not eliminating the manager's position and then hiding the person for a few months before making them a manager again with some dreamed up bogus... — read more
Should Boeing compensate Sunita and Butch for leaving them stranded in space and if yes how?
On June 5th they were scheduled to be in space for just 8 days and are still there!
Boeing eliminating useless positions
Nobody likes to see anyone get laid off, but the ratio of managers to workers was and is way out of whack. He still could get rid of another layer of management. It would not affect anything except the bottom line. Not to mention getting rid of... — read more

Kelly says "Sit Down and Shut Up"

Have layoff notices been issued at Boeing sites in Texas? Boeing has several sites down there
Boeing has contracts with NASA in Houston. After the Starliner - one of the most utterly disordered and mismanaged Boeing situations in recent times you would think Boeing has the smarts to issue layoff notices to the entire Program there. Boeing... — read more

Boeing Directs verses Boeing Contractors. Does Boeing need to give Contractors a WARN notice and wait 60 days?
My Boeing group has more Engineer Contractors than Directs. The Contractors are pretty tight lip and don't want to talk much with directs. No one in the group knows if the contractors have been told they will be let go or not. Last week two... — read more

Layoffs
