Boeing

Smart co-workers, interesting and varied work, great pay and benefits, innovative products.

Embedded arrogance now facing intense global competition. The company lays off employees to counteract huge leadership errors, age discrimination. The vision is inspiring, but the company is now dumping employees rather than fixing the root causes. Leaders are in a different class than everyone else.

Boeing's culture of respect has been destroyed by McDonnell Douglas's short-term perspective and lack of respect for the workforce.

Terrible employee communication. Top-down culture. Lots of bloat and bureaucracy. Layoffs are more rampant than those portrayed in the news.

Learn from the mistakes of other companies. Boeing could save a lot of problems by studying how other companies have screwed up, and avoiding the same approaches.

Many employees doubt whether Boeing will last another 10 years. Employee engagement and pride are disappearing. The workforce is cynical for good reason.

Stop repeating the same useless methods over and over again. Get rid of unnecessary levels of management. Find ways to keep your long-term, seasoned, experienced, and knowledgeable employees so they can mentor the new employees.

Ethics and HR are totally on the side of the executives and corporate profit; they cannot be trusted to do the right thing. Unsafe workplace due to overly ambitious production goals and unrealistic deadlines.
