Boeing

I came to Boeing quite some time ago and was drawn by The Boeing Company's reputation for engineering excellence. I admired the company and was proud to say that I worked for the preeminent aircraft manufacturer in the world. That stayed with me and continued to underpin my attitude toward the company. However, see the 'Cons'.

However, in the wake of the 737 Max accidents, I became more aware of the attenuated focus on engineering and an accentuated focus on stock price.

In the shakeup that followed the accidents, an even more disturbing corporate philosophy emerged: the "woke" philosophy characterized by an over-emphasis on diversity for diversity's sake (e.g., assigning and hiring with an emphasis on 'diversity' over knowledge, skills, and abilities), an activist leadership team speaking out about sociopolitical topics that have nothing to do with building and/or operating aerospace products, and the rest of the nauseating, activist follow-the-leader, mindless behavior that characterizes the "movement".

In general, this company seems to have lost its focus on what William E. Boeing would have considered important and what made this company survive for 105 years.

Without a course change, The Boeing Company will not see more than a score or so of additional birthdays.

Wake up! Get rid of those whose focus is not on engineering excellence, which is what made this company what it once was. Listening to the media and/or the clanging gong consultants is putting this once great company in a nosedive.
