Boeing

The pay is good, the insurance is okay, and the work isn't extremely difficult, although certain jobs are harder on parts of your body than others.

The managers are not competent. The managers are rude and, in my experience, racist. The managers love you when they need you, but they treat mechanics like replaceable trash when they don't. The managers stare at Facebook for seven hours and then spend the final hour telling mechanics how lazy they are for not completing twelve hours of work in eight hours. The managers want people to be flexible by staying late daily, up to four hours, but they don't return the favor by being flexible on preshift start times so that certain people can get home to their families. Also, the pay is no longer competitive, as starting out at fast food pays similarly to what starting out as a mechanic, putting people's lives in your hands, pays.

The majority of employees in this company run themselves. Boeing could easily lose some managers to save money, as the work tends to get done even when the micromanagers are away.

Stop wasting 100k+ on so-called managers who stare at Facebook and Instagram for 8-hour shifts and start investing in actual talent to build the product. Be more flexible with people and treat them as equal human beings instead of trying to dictate and run the business as if we were in a slave trade.
