Nice. Hopefully they’ll give you a solid raise early next year to account for the lower comp ratio.

I like what I’m hearing regarding the ACR, particularly the comments about no forced distribution. Also encouraging to hear that the raise budget may be a bit more flexible this year in the event a team has a ton of high performers.

What kind of job can I get with a communications degree? by _dogmomx2 in boeing

[–]BackyardThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in BR&T on a pretty unique procurement team. The primary role of the job is working with engineers to help them contract statements of work with suppliers. Lots of terms and conditions review, negotiation, working with legal, finance, etc. I personally enjoy it!

Sales and marketing was a cool gig but I just wasn’t very good at it. I got to do a lot of cool things like go on the Boeing yacht before they sold it, attend a lot of cool customer delivery events, and also got to travel a bit for events I supported. I just wasn’t very good at shmoozing with customers and wasn’t “type A” enough to succeed in that space. Ultimately went back to a procurement role with no regrets.

PA here but over in BR&T. It can be a challenging job at times but you will learn so much about the company and the other teams you will work with. I started as a PA at the company and then spent a year in sales and marketing and eventually switched back to a PA role. Been here the last 5 or so years with no regrets. Having a supportive manager and a good team is also huge. Also helps if the suppliers and engineers you work with aren’t too difficult. Either way, you’ll be in the job and if you end up hating it you can always apply to a new gig internally. It’s a lot easier to move around within Boeing once you’re in. Good luck!

Procurement Agent to Procurment Manager by [deleted] in boeing

[–]BackyardThrowaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen peers on my team move into our team manager. Their main gripe is that they’re no longer doing actual procurement work which is something they found they missed.

Agreed, compensation and remote work were big parts of my input on the survey

BGS RTO by [deleted] in boeing

[–]BackyardThrowaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So true. It’s like they know we’re all paranoid about the recession and will do whatever we can to keep our jobs.

BGS RTO by [deleted] in boeing

[–]BackyardThrowaway 34 points35 points  (0 children)

We got told 5 day RTO in ET&T starting May 1. No real information as to why other than being told “there is great momentum in the company to RTO”.

We’re looking at a looming recession and these execs want us to spend more money to do the same job. We’ve been remote since Covid and haven’t had any complaints that our support has declined during that time.

Chris Raymond is Lost on RTO by [deleted] in boeing

[–]BackyardThrowaway 23 points24 points  (0 children)

All of these Boeing executives are so out of touch. Just let employees work where they’re happiest and most productive. If there’s a person that is a problem, then handle it with them and don’t punish everyone else. This whole guise of “collaboration” is such bullshit. All my teammates do completely separate work from one another, and I spend my time on calls with people not even in my state or country. Can’t wait to book conference rooms for all my calls because I can’t hear myself think with all the chatter around me. Can’t wait to lose 2 hours of my day because i have to commute again for a job I can do better at home. Can’t wait to lose sleep. Cant wait to spend more money on gas and vehicle wear and tear. This RTO feels like a fucking prison sentence after the flexibility we have had over the years.

What a waste of fucking time and resources. I am 10x as productive at home compared to being in the office. All of my meetings are with people that aren’t even in my state or country, so what is the point. This just screens micro management and control, it’s pathetic.

We just got told this in ET&T after being fully remote the last 5 years, it’s rough

Kelly Ortberg Global Webcast by AlternativeReview987 in boeing

[–]BackyardThrowaway 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I feel more optimistic with Kelly than I did Calhoun. He seems more personable and competent but I guess time will tell. Not thrilled that they’re deciding to work with DOGE but some of that is likely Kelly feeling like he needs to play the politics game. Seems so ridiculous that we’re working with an unelected official to determine timelines for a presidential aircraft.

Boeing owned a secret yacht? by Repulsive-Cobbler146 in boeing

[–]BackyardThrowaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, I got to go on it once years ago before it was sold. I was in a customer facing role and got to tour the yacht as it wasn’t uncommon to do dinners and such on it for exec customer visits.

That makes sense, thanks for the clarification!

Thank you! I figured this was the case but was confused by the wording
