      at an average salary of $92,854, that’s an extra $1.578B they can funnel into executive bonuses, RSU, and stock buybacks. Shareholders rejoice.

      COO: “We’re bleeding cash because of bad decisions made by executives and because of people in the unions who work for us squealing to Congress. What do we do?!”
      CEO: <opens notes from b-school> “Cut jobs!”

      Vulture-max shareholder-value-capitalism is reaching its final form in spectacular fashion via Boeing.

      And of course they’ll cut the people with the most longevity . . . who have the most experience. What could possibly go wrong??

      That should put some pressure on the remaining employees and improve the quality of the builds. /s

      Before that ratfuck Jack Welch ruined everything by rushing the late stage capitalism endgame, companies didn’t lay people off to get (more) profitable. It wasn’t seen as a thing. His poison is everywhere, including Boeing.

      Such an ethical company. It’s the Phillip Morris company of today. No proof that cigarettes increase heart disease err no proof shortcuts affects plane safety, we used duct tape and fishing wire.

      Doors are falling off their planes and they’re firing workers?

      I guess it’s easier to destroy 17,000 people’s careers instead of shooting them all, disgusting corporation

      I think people are being a bit unfair to Boeing now. The new CEO (who is actually an engineer) might actually know what he is doing and was given such a mess by the previous CEO that there isn’t many options at this point. They basically need to break the company down and build it back up again.

      Imagine a government that doesn’t limit ceo pay and isn’t forced by law to limit salary and reinvest.

      The engineer’s left , the company goes shite. Ceo + executives should resign.

      Lots of people not understanding what’s going on.

      The boeing union strike is costing $100 million a day. Or $3 billion a month. If they run out of money, then the business is effectively bankrupt. They need more runway and cutting a lot of jobs helps buy them time. These roles would need to be refilled after the strike. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

      They’re screwing the investors by issuing new shares and doing everything they can to withstand the labor dispute. The current average wage for a machinist there is $77k and the union wants 40% increase over 4 years or basically 10% each year. Boeings last offer was 30% as to high of a wage increase puts significant pressure on their products staying cost competitive.
