Thread regarding Boeing Co. layoffs

BDS is not a good investment

I believe Boeing would like to spin off BDS, the way they spun off Wichita to Onyx, which became spirit aerosystems.

Onyx was composed of a bunch of Canadian pension investors.

Wichita was a much more stable investment. When the F18 finishes production and the F-15, there’s not a lot of future work.

The red hawk trainer is a small program. They have already lost the next generation helicopter program so the people in Philadelphia will struggle to stay employed. The next generation fighter doesn’t seem likely after loosing the F 35 decisively.

The point is BDS is not a good investment and no one would want to purchase that company given its limited future work.

It would be equivalent to finding someone who would be interested in buying McDonald Douglas, when their commercial aviation businesses is in a tailspin.

They may simply shut down the BDS side of the business and tell the government that they don’t want to fulfill these contracts that’s really the only option. I have to have the conversation that they lose money on every single ship said need to stop production, which is simply unacceptable given they were the only sole bidder.

The bottom line is they need to clean house on the BDS side of upper management who were involved with these contract bids.

Well said, @pas+1rft9zTT.

Boeing needs to sell BDS but they need to win a large contract first. Does not seem very likely given their past history. they’ve lost the next generation helicopter program. They are likely to use the next generation fighter program. The trainer, and the refueling drone are very small programs. Which they underbid at least money on every ship it even though they were the only bid with a clean sheet design. It’s amazing. The people involved in those decisions have not been replaced given what a money loser both of those programs are. But Boeing cares more about their DEI score than they do about actually showing a profit.

As has been proven many times, the Wallstreet gang can polish anything and sell shares to fools. But in the end, Boeing customers and the few remaining decent Boeing employees will bear the brunt of the failed company. Still, public welfare will be better protected with Boeing no longer around. Some cancers just can't be cured.

Absolutely, you can sit at home and listen to a boring meeting and continue to work something productive at the same time, but no one can do that sitting in a conference room.
RTO is more productive? Yeah NOT !!
Better reevaluate your matrix.
Turn the ship around.

Yeah similar happens to others all the time too, such poor resource management practices. And way too many meetings. A meeting is only to exchange ideas. Nothing productive ever gets done in a meeting, but we schedule them daily, weekly, etc just to exchange the same info redundantly. If someone is booked in meetings all day, they are doing nothing but exchanging ideas and preventing others from getting actual work done. So many meetings have an invite list 3 to 4X too large. Good resource management would be no more than 25% of your day or week allotted to meetings. With prep, participation and follow up, that will even consume 50% of your capacity.

The real reason middle management wants RTO. I literally have to quit working on all my productive tasks and go sit in meetings just to click the mouse for them with plenty of others present who can do it. I have ZERO input for the meeting. I never knew clicking the mouse had become such a complex thing only certain resources understand how it works. This is why nothing gets done in the office. You guys better get off the RTO Kool aid and go 100% WFH again if you want to save the company.
