Temporary layoff without any payments to employees is not permissible in Russia. Russian employers may offer the employee paid or unpaid leave during the emergency period, but the employee is not required to accept the offer.

@2typ+19qIYcIn I just though we are just “one Boeing” and I also though it’s a company wide Boeing layoff and not just only in Boeing US...it must be Beoing manpower worldwide reduction.
- Layoffs are only happening only in the US
That’s because there are no other companies outside the US that

Boeing isn’t alone in its debauchery
It seems that layoffs are only happening only in the US domestic? We haven’t heard anything about any layoffs here in other plant outside the US. I can’t say we are lucky enough because it’s not fair for you guys outthere. Said hearing those news...
You cannot expect floor monkeys nor outsiders working at Burger King

Boeing ’s pipe dream of a midrange plane not possible under current
Management
Last year, the Chicago-based manufacturer started conversations with
customers about building such a jet with a single-aisle cabin.
Then, during the fourth-quarter earnings presentation in late January,
Chief Executive David L. Calhoun all but confirmed that the company’s
next jet would indeed address the “middle of the market”
serving long haul international flights and short-haul domestic ones.
This appears to be pure speculation fuelled by fantasy.
To believe that Boeing could build a replacement for the MAX on the
Heals of its greatest fraud, is a Kool-Aid induced break from reality.
Last week, the buzz increased after trade journal Aviation Week reported
that the new jet could instead be a two-aisle model, reviving the so-called
New Midsize Airplane project that Boeing abandoned when Mr. Calhoun
took over last year.
This time, though, the program wouldn’t just have two variants
seating 225 and 275 people, but also a third, smaller one.
Paralyzed by indecision and incompetence, Boeing withers on the vine,
As A Wall Street Holding Company, not as an engineering company
This 10 year project that should have been started 20 years ago
is no longer viable in Boeing’s bumbling hands.

Nothing to worry about.
Unless you get the red bell
Yup today more warns.
We here at Boeing have been assured that the laws passed by
Our Congress are not applicable to Boeing, but instead are used to
Stifle any competition we might face because of our incompetence.

@1opd+19qIYcIn
You lost me at "Boeing to transfer leading airplane development technology". So I stopped reading after that! LMAO!!!
@1opd
Boeing paid $4.2 million to settle federal charges that it violated U.S.
export-control laws by sharing military technology with non-U.S. officials,
the State Department said.
A department spokesman said Boeing signed a consent agreement for
the settlement March 30. The company agreed to spend $400,000 of its
settlement to appoint its own corporate officer to oversee company
compliance, the State Department spokesman said.
A Boeing spokesman did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
The State Department had charged that Boeing violated export laws
at least 110 times.
The bulk of the violations came while Boeing was trying to win a $1-billion
contract to build Australia’s next early-warning aircraft, Wedgetail.
The State Department said Boeing also broke the rules in trying to win
contracts in Singapore, Turkey, Malaysia, Spain and Italy.
Fruit plate?
The US government already sit back and did nothing when sections of the 777 were designed by engineers in Moscow. The airplanes already designed manufactured and being certified now.
Company stated publicly the intent to reduce the workforce in Washington. Covid 19 and the 737 max just gave them opportunity to draw down the number even more.
Any future employment opportunities for a new aircraft will be field primarily by engineers in Moscow. Not sure why that’s surprising to anyone. The writing has been on the wall for a while.
Hey 9 bucks an hour is a lot of money in India. I’d totally move there doing the same job I am now for 9 bucks an hour! I’d finally be middle class! The way prices are here for everything you can barely take care of your family.

Boeing accused of outsourcing Max Software to $9-an-Hour Engineers
Outsourcing software development to low-paid subcontractors and
insufficient quality control practices may have contributed to Boeing’s
Max fatal crashes.
The company reportedly outsourced flight-display software and programs
for flight-test equipment to third-party software developers – including
Indian HCL Technologies Ltd and Cyient Ltd (formerly known as Infotech).
The third-party software developers, in turn, employed newly graduated
programmers mainly from India who were paid only US$9 an hour in India
compared with US$35 to $40 for those in the U.S. on H1B visa or more for
a full-time US software engineer.
Although the final code was designed as per specifications set by Boeing,
the quality of such work was below expectations, as subcontractors
were pressured to limit changes that might introduce extra time or cost.
“It was controversial because it was far less efficient than
Boeing engineers just writing the code,”
Mark Rabin, a former Boeing software engineer who worked in a
flight-test group that supported the MAX, told Bloomberg.
“It took many rounds going back and forth because the code
was not done correctly.”
Another former Boeing flight controls engineer, Rick Ludtke,
who was laid off in 2017, told Bloomberg, “Boeing was doing all kinds
of things, everything you can imagine, to reduce cost.
Including moving work from Puget Sound, because we’d become
very expensive here.
All that’s very understandable if you think of it from a business perspective.
Slowly over time it appears, that’s eroded the ability for Puget Sound
designers to design.”
Boeing is Number 2…
Boeing is number one!
I doubt the U.S. Government is going to sit back and allow Boeing to transfer leading airplane development technology to Moscow. Technical information like that is probably protected under Export laws. If Boeing plans to use any technology or research done by NASA in a new airplane development then good luck to Boeing in getting Export approval to share that with Moscow.
You sound like a Know It All saying Boeing' going to do all their hiring in Moscow for next plane development. I can only imagine the Public Relations nightmare Boeing will face when they announce that or when it becomes apparent if they don't. I haven't yet seen any clues of that. Care to enlighten us?
You Losers rooting for Moscow over American workers should be ashamed of yourselves because you come off as un-Americans. I bet you refuse to say the Pledge of Allegiance too.

Boeing in talks with Airbus to license A321XLR production
No layoffs at Boeing India, just like Moscow even though s lot of Max and 777X work went to both Moscow and India
No layoffs in Moscow though.
When my Manager gave a co-worker and me our 60 days notices he had a smirk on his face when he handed the notices over to us. At that point I lost all respect for the Boeing Company. This bozo should have never been named a manager to start with.
A word about how Boeing HR plays games. When my coworker and I were handed our 60 day notices by our smirking manager, which occurred prior to the 737 Max nightmare which coworker and I did not work in, the HR clown never reported it to the State Unemployment Office that we were handed 60 day layoff notices. I checked again months later and HR clown never informed to State Unemployment office. To bad you cannot report Boeing to the State Unemployment office so they can fine Boeing for deliberately not following the rules.

Managers receive and deliver advance 60 day notices 2/17 to 2/19. work life 2/20.
This is the dates and doesn't mean there will be warms at your location. Some people enjoying pain of others. There's a calender of speea web site for the whole year, once again lack of transparency.

It would be interesting to know if this is true...

That’s what I heard from my manager. My site is Alabama. I’m a level 1 employee who got laid off 8 months ago after joining Boeing. I’m now in a different team and I can’t help it but worry that I will get laid off again.
Nope
Are you sure?
