Monthly reminder that Boeing still has astronauts stranded on the ISS after what was supposed to be a ~1 week mission.
I remember within recent memory that any criticism of Boeing would attract an brigade of haters to shut you down.
I always felt weird people larping for a corporation like that. Good to see these idiots got a fucking clue…
Hopefully Google slaves learned their lesson too lol
You don’t need a union, we are all family here 🤡
If they really were like a (nice well functioning) family a union would not affect their operations in any way so why would they care

Agree with this statement. Simping for corporations is so sad. Corporations don’t care about you as a person, why should we simp for them? There is no reason.
I’m very glad the UAW strike brought the concept of labour power back into the national conversation for both USA and Canada. The reasons for work disruptions and affordability stagnating is blamed on “lazy workers” less often now than before.
Are we out-of-touch?
No, it’s all the students, recruiters, and job-seekers that are wrong.
Yeah that’s because Boeing is dogshit now. Weird how that works.
Probably explains why there’s two astronauts stuck on a space station, and they have to resort to murdering whistleblowers…
That tends to happen after you murder one of your employees.
Just one?
How many employees do you think an employer should be allowed to murder before you would consider it a reason not to apply for a job there?
Per quarter or just in general?
Quarterly, with a quota of floating murders per year
And the SCOTUS just ruled that companies can murder 2 9/11s worth of employees annually.
Also lets not forget that work contracts, just like trial Disney+ streaming terms of service, can include Mandatory Arbitrage clauses in case of dispute, so people will be signing away for life their right to not be murdered to get even just some temp work.
The nickel-and-diming of the workers is particularly galling, Haala said, because for Boeing, labor accounts for only 3 to 5 percent of the cost of an airplane.
From my rough searches, these planes cost roughly $250-400 million each.
Presumably a lot of the actual labor costs are hidden in outsourced parts of the build process.
I’d have to figure on airplane parts, 25% of the cost could be on QC alone.
What is the expensive part you imagine about QC that isn’t labor? I mean sure, you need the occasional destructive test and some fuel and hangar rent but mainly it is people doing the quality control checks.
I wasn’t. That’s why I figured 3% is ridiculously low.
Boeing really working hard on recruiting hitmen.
Wow great article and Elon said its because of DEI policies and HBCUs. “Don’t look at all the money I have from being a greedy asshole, it’s because of (insert marginalized class or people here)”.
I knew a design engineer that came from Canada and… Well it’s what he told me, he was one of the top in his field in Canada. He made art in his spare time and it was top quality original shit. Anyone from the Seattle art scene knew him.
He’d talk about how downhill Boeing was becoming, 10 years ago.

Which interview round is the shattered glass in?
They don’t even want to increase salary to hire professionals. Begging for unpaid wages
Gosh. Replace management with a bunch of useless fuckwits, pay below minimum wage, murder hundreds of customers (including one of my friend’s Dad), and nobody wants to work there? Who’d have ever guessed?
