Thread regarding Boeing Co. layoffs

Boeing’s Self Inflected DeatҺ Spiral

There Is No Rational Expiation, for Boeing’s conduct, it is well recognized as fact
that when a person engages in self ampսtation they are suffering from a severe
mental disorder, a form of dysphoria.

Aviation and Business experts around the world are perplexed at the level of іneptitude and self-harm by this once great company, now a shell of its former self.

The latest, but not the last by any means, was the launch of a leaking spacecraft.
Such an action is straight out of a Bart Simpson cartoon,
its indefensible and bazaar.
The only Rational Expiation, is a pathological disorder of severe magnitude.

Boeing’s particular pathology is visible across virtually every aspect of its business. You can see it in the way Boeing handled the 737 Max 8 program,
from development and construction to its reactions and responses to
multiple fatal crashes, being the last to ground the Max,
after the entire world did so.
The examples are pretty much endless, as The Wall Street noted in late January:

Boeing also removed “dozens” of engineering contractor positions
with only a day’s notice.

These contractors are largely retired employees who the company brought back
to help fix ongoing manufacturing issues with the Boeing 777X, 787 Dreamliner,
and 737 MAX.
Speaking to the Seattle Times, one engineer described the contractors as “vital,”
Calling The Move
“just another very bad decision in a continuing long line of bad decisions.”

Wall Street Analyst, doing the math, considers the 40% raise to be a “No Brainer”
given the history of Boeing labor, especially in such a tight labor market where
the demand for technical skills is at an all time high.

The lack of applicants is once again, laid at the feet of Boeing.
As the company, some years back had decided to abandon its apprentice programs
they sponsored at junior collages.
Apparently the stock buyback program had a greater priority than ensuring the
future of the company.

They will concede to labors demands, or they may choose the ampսtation of there
own heads.
At this point its anyone’s guess, based on their diminished capacity
for logic and reason and their predilection for self-harm

It has been well known that there is no future for Boeing...only for the executives to gain more wealth before the bankruptcy and breakup. It is laughable that there are still people who think otherwise.

Boeing CEOs need to learn to share. Being spoiled and privileged since childhood have not served them well.

Boeing needs to cut costs and get leaner. Fewer employees, especially in a high cost area like Seattle. You just can't justify paying someone 3X the amount for the same work just because they live in Seattle.

The big labor battles of the past year—from the Teamsters’ UPS contract fight to
the autoworkers Stand Up strike, to the actors’ and screenwriters’ four-month
walkout—herald a renewed determination by workers to claw back the billions
of dollars stolen from them by corporate America in the last generation.

Next up: the 32,000 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), who struck the aerospace giant Boeing on September 13 after rejecting—by 96 percent—an offer that failed to make up for a decade of stagnant wages and also failed to restore the members’ pensions,
taken from them in bare-knuckle bargaining by the company a decade ago.

This fight has been building for a long time.

In late 2013, Boeing executives demanded that Washington State
hand over $8.7 billion in tax benefits and workers accept major concessions,
or the company would move thousands of production jobs out of state.

Notwithstanding Boeing’s record profits, the Democratic state legislature caved, rushing into special session and passing an emergency law that handed Boeing
the largest tax break in US history.
Democratic Governor Jay Inslee hailed the measure as “a great step forward
for the state of Washington.” Simultaneously, behind closed doors,
national union leaders negotiated a 10-year deal with Boeing
that froze the pension for incumbent workers,
completely eliminated it for all future hires, and slashed pay.
The union leaders forced a contract ratification vote during the company’s
annual end-of-year shutdown, when many workers were out of town.
The vote passed, but barely.

The workers’ rightful bitterness has had 10 years to marinate,
during which time corporate executives and shareholders have Reaped Billions
while shamefully breaking their promise by cutting over 12,000 jobs
in Washington State.
