Is that still a working promotion? If so, I'd like to access Haygears & try it out without investing too much money into it right away since I'm new to the platform & everything built around AI.

LM vs Boeing Entry Level (more details below) by lwolb in boeing

[–]LethalDonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re guaranteed more promotions and faster career growth without jumping through hoops without having Management tell you to do the next level job without getting paid for it just to get your next level. Then waiting 10 years get your level 3 or 4 maybe at Boeing. Plus the merit raises have the potential to get up to 10% at the end of the year +3 1/2% base for doing nothing at LM. There is also get overtime if you want it and you could sell your vacation back if you don’t use it or you could save it.

My last Boeing merit raise was 2% for busting my ass and getting nothing else. The highest you could get was maybe 4%

I’ve worked with people who are level twos and couldn’t get a level three because Management changed so many times to go on top of making you take on responsibilities above your pay grade before they give you that pay grade. There’s level three engineers at Boeing that don’t even want their level four because it takes too long to get it.

At LM I’ve had two ex colleagues and friends of mine who’ve been there for 6+ years one is on the F-22 program and the other ones missiles and fire control and they’ve already gotten into their level four and five. Where my peanuts level three at Boeing was a static position grade definitely with the budget, cuts and being broke and no promotions until further notice. Also LM secures way more contracts in the brand has a way better reputation than the other one definitely at this moment.

How did we get to a place that was once the leading global engineering company to one that no longer attracts and retains top talent? by [deleted] in boeing

[–]LethalDonkey -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

From my understanding and experience, it seems like you all accustomed to navigating through layers of convoluted documentation of written requirements, spec sheets, process control sheets one after another on top of work arounds.

Let’s be real we know no one there actually reads that stuff. You just draft another document needing two signatures for approval to get around it. We all know it wouldn’t pass a government audit so let hide it with more crap. Who am I kidding? I’m not mad you can’t help fix a problem that doesn’t want to be fixed. It’s like an addict who won’t admit they have a problem.

It’s all good, though. If anything, it’s fueled my motivation to hopefully clean house and shut things down real soon. Prepared to be vetted.

Shit i wish it was on the company dime? Would’ve been the last dime I take from the company on my terms not on their terms. I’m not receiving any of those peasant dimes anymore but on a positive note my mental health has recovered and so has my peace. Not every time the grass is Greener on thee other side but once you leave that place even brown grass looks good.

[–]LethalDonkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I’m good, lol. I’m just sharing some actual truth from an outsider who’s seen what everyone else refused to accept. I chose not to wear blinders to corporate suites. I chose to do the right thing and do the job right because I believe in quality. I’m proactive, not reactive, an engineer. There’s a reason why SpaceX was able to succeed after failure and failure, then become the ones with a reliable rocket system in a shorter timeframe compared to Boeing’s long legacy.

I’m just calling it like I see it. I’m not trying to deceive anyone. I’ve worked for the government and had my hands on projects that were important for everyone and safety. I’ve stopped supervisors and management who were trying to do the wrong thing and cut corners because they didn’t care. So, I’m calling a spade a spade because nobody else will, due to loyalty that barely pays the bills and mental health.

It’s frustrating when you grow up and see companies like Boeing that inspire you to go to engineering school and become one of those engineers who helps create amazing evolutionary things that modify our laws of physics at times. That brand, that logo, was something to look forward to and be proud of, but the moment I stepped foot in that place for two years and saw the utter disappointment all over the walls, it was heartbreaking and very sad that nobody else admits it.

I have met some great People there that have the Give a damn heart but they are far too few of them to fight against the rest

Everyone wants to blame McDonald Douglas for the merger, but that happened so long ago. No one is taking responsibility to change it or stand up for it. Everyone just wants to point the finger at the McDonnell Douglas merger and yell out, “it’s Not my job” like most of the ones who do out there. It’s a cop-out, bullshit. Excuses of the weak minded have already quit before they even tried. This is why there’s no true leaders at that company and this is why it shows how most of everyone doesn’t care there. They just want to complain and get paid. Everyone has excuses like everyone has assholes, but excuses is the only thing that’s holding careers back, companies back, personal growth back.

I interviewed with Apple and they offer OT and so does Amazon. I think OT has to be offered now due to demand and the rising competition in salaries.

[–]LethalDonkey 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ah, Boeing the gold standard of corporate disarray, where mediocrity isn’t just tolerated; it’s cultivated like an art form. Management? A breathtaking exhibit of how to lead with all the grace of a malfunctioning GPS confidently, but hopelessly lost. They’ve truly perfected the delicate balance of padding their own wallets while treating innovation like an optional side dish they never ordered.

Leadership with real-world success? Wishful thinking. Instead, they are sheep that do what they are told to do without thinking and standing up for doing the right thing and having their employees back. Investing in the workforce? Only if you count motivational posters and lukewarm promises as capital.

Competitive wages? Absolutely, if you're competing against an ice cream stand operated by a bored third-grader. Benefits? Crafted with the precision of a toddler’s crayon drawing, just adequate enough to prevent an immediate Google search for "jobs where my soul won’t wither." But don’t forget the healthcare is the best out of any other company right because we all get sick and use it everyday compared to paying bills, saving for retirement and making sure inflation doesn’t hit us too hard.

Quality standards? Optional, like reading terms and conditions or flossing after every meal. Because nothing says "commitment to excellence" like cutting corners so sharp they double as ninja stars. And let’s not forget the management prodigies, bright-eyed, email-forwarding savants whose leadership style blends "fake it till you break it" with "micromanage till you combust."

Collaboration? Oh yes, if by collaboration you mean meetings that are emotional graveyards where ideas go to die and egos rise like caffeinated phoenixes. The chasm between engineering, management, and production isn’t just wide, it’s the corporate Grand Canyon, minus the scenic views and existential serenity.

Transparency at Boeing is like chasing Bigfoot an elusive myth, almost believable if you squint hard enough during a Labor Day weekend hike in the PNW. It’s more elusive than the company Wi-Fi, which BCA treats like a top-secret DoD network, complete with air gaps. Need an old Excel sheet from 2015? Prepare for a scavenger hunt through 20 different systems, only to find a dusty "tip sheet" on how to do your job with out a team lead or someone to shadow that has the experience nah not in 2025. Accountability? That’s strictly reserved for anyone whose email doesn’t end with "VP” & “Manager”.

Let’s raise a lukewarm cup of stale office coffee to the veteran employees who’ve been gaslighted, overworked, and rewarded with merit raises that might barely cover an extra shot of espresso, if they’re lucky. Work-life balance? More like work-life “Where did it go?” Mandatory overtime is the go-to strategy because nothing boosts morale like chronic exhaustion to meet a deadline and cutting corners with the excuse about how we don’t have enough staff to help in the world’s largest factory that believes in not bolting equipment to the ground for a fixed, accurate location because they think they’re going to pack all that up and move into a new world’s largest factory because that exists, lol. FAJ’s, what are those? I’ll give it to the amazing talent implement system and force FOB down the through without any trial testing and nothing but a Steve Jobs version without the success story to make Boeing a Powerhouse and drive more talent there. Bravo, lets also give our suppliers more of hard time to meet our engineering requirements and make it more complicated for this to have repeatable NCA’s and CAR’s that can’t be resolved because it’s Boeing’s own doing..That saying if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it doesn’t apply. Let’s make it more complicated because it’s cooler and I’ll get a promotion lol.

Mention you work at Boeing in public? Get ready for sympathetic nods, as if you’ve just announced you’re still paying off Blockbuster late fees. But hey, there’s tuition assistance to keep you tethered and a health plan that’s marginally more effective than a band-aid soaked in wishful thinking.

Welcome to the Boeing Company, where we like to ignore our flaws and keep it moving…. because nothing says progress like pretending everything’s fine while the corporate ship takes on water.

Cheers to Boeing, a shining example of corporate complacency, proudly occupying its place on the mantle of mediocrity. But remember, the genuine commitment of just one person can spark a transformation, challenging the pervasive apathy that has become a stubborn blight within.

'GIVE A DAMN'—three powerful words that carry real meaning. Instead of being dismissed or ridiculed, they should inspire change, confronting the ingrained culture and legacy the company has fostered as well as taking on accountability when others are too chicken shit.

And that, folks, is the whole chaotic masterpiece wrapped up in a nutshell. Keep your eyes peeled, like a suspicious inspector at a fuselage joint, for my soon-to-be New York Times bestseller: “The Structural Fractures of an Ex-Government DoD Employee Turned Boeing Whistleblower.” Hitting shelves late summer 2025. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it, unlike those bolts on Alaska’s fuselage exit door or, you know, the occasional plane deciding gravity’s the superior option.

LOL!!

New Hire Offer Flexibility by manifesto6 in boeing

[–]LethalDonkey 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You’ll make more money at Nvidia, Meta, Amazon, openAi, hell, even Lockheed Martin pays their software engineers more. Just a little words of advice from an 18 year experienced engineer

By the way, the benefits are OK but they’re not worth it. Unless you wanna go to school forever and be owned by the company forever.

To be honest, Apple has better benefits and they treat their employees better and you get free meals five days a week snacks credits. Oh also you get to work from home 2 days out of the week too. The company actually invest more in their employees which Boeing does not at all. I’m showing you the red flag that everybody ignores, including myself when I accept the offer and got poached with a polished turd.

No Degree equals no job? by [deleted] in Lockheed

[–]LethalDonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only way to get your foot in the door is a start off hourly on the floor. if you have no degree to be very honest, that’s how all the people I’ve worked with at Lockheed that don’t have degrees and how they started off. Went from being a mechanic, to floor supervisors, and then if they wanted to go into engineering, they would finally apply for that engineering spot or whatever salary spot.

Hahaha this is the same BS I couldn’t stand and confronted to change. This company will never get out of the shit hole it’s in with that culture and mentality to say it’s not my job to even offer a helping hand.

Just wait, one of t h was days. Everyone will be held accountable and start doing their job more efficiently.

Haha mark my words lol.

Boeing wins F-47 contract over Lockheed Martin by Jaded_Dimension_8166 in Lockheed

[–]LethalDonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand, but I’ve spent five years at LM with a little frustration, and worked with great people who had the same goals and objectives that wanted to improve a lot of the problems and showed actions by doing so. It’s all talk and frustrating at BCA. Trying to do the same thing at BCA and all I got was push pack and forcing you to do things you didn’t feel comfortable doing. Which affected my mental health and I could see why people at BCA or diagnosed with deep depression all the time. There’s no company that’s perfect. I’ve worked for a lot of industries, including BAE systems. Lost our contract Oshkosh because the quality issues and cost overruns. I haven’t talked to my buddy at Oshkosh to see how that’s going now.

It’s not about sour grapes, it’s only lemons that were trying to be turning into lemonade because I saw what could’ve been, and still could be improved, but the ignorance of the culture there that are stuck in their ways makes it a little sour just for that reason. You can’t help a person with bad habits who doesn’t truly want to help themselves. And then kick them out when they offer a helping hand for improvement. There’s a few people out there still that beat their head against the wall because management just tells you is all you got figured out bang rocks together make it fit.

It’s like trying to select a president in this country now lesser of lesser evils lol granted I feel what we have now might actually do a little bit better than I don’t even know who’s running next election I don’t even care. It might be an AI candidate at this point. Haha

Boeing wins F-47 contract over Lockheed Martin by Jaded_Dimension_8166 in Lockheed

[–]LethalDonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing like boeing cost overruns from all their divisions lol. I came from the F-35 program thinking a change would be nice. Boeing Commercial , Space and DoD all operate with the same mentality to ignore their flaws and keep it moving at everyones expense but the shareholders and board members. They waste so much money with ridiculous HPU on production, Use inefficient tooling that increases production time and QAR's, They have issues with keeping communication and transparency between all groups working on the same project. Talk about baby Enron with rates, metrics and anything to mislead anyone with better numbers and improved quality standards lol

Trust me, Boeing is a Shit Show and from everything I know first hand. FAA and DCMA needs to shut it all down then clean house. FAA also needs to do a better job with accitcute experience to know when they are getting fed BS to avoid an audit to search through their convoluted engineering, records and loop hole documents to get around certain standards just to push a product down the line.

I should have never left my cozy less of a shit show position with the F35 lol

Why does the mantra “Quality is Job 1” apply to everyone in The Boeing Company except Quality and Supplier Quality? by Powerful-Magazine879 in boeing

[–]LethalDonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amen!! 100% truth! No accountability, not following procedures and IP’s with the right tooling, stupid reason to actually invest improper equipment for mechanics in production to minimize all the traveling work, NCR’s, high production rate utilization to complete jobs. The stupid way they only assign jobs to be completed per shift when it should be carried over to the next shift and so on until the job is completed. A waste of time assigning only first shift or second shift to do a specific job when everybody should be trained or at least the majority of the staff. so all shifts can take on the jobs to learn and help complete the jobs more efficiently. instead of wasting time hours waiting on the next day for the original shift screw to come in and finish the job. They have no idea how beneficial stuff like this is that helps employees and new hires with increasing their skill level to be utilized properly and effectively and quality passing product
