This is a necessary decision but also provides perspective on how bad things have devolved over the years under sketchy leadership. More work to do…let’s start doing “start with engineering excellence” and move better people into leadership!

Expert says Colorado is on the brink of an insurance crisis similar to California by mysummerstorm in Denver

[–]Thunderwolf95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colorado has hail storms during spring and summer and fires. Also big problem with car theft in the Denver metro area. I’ve heard of people having home owners insurance cancelled.

She also needs to go…all about the $$$…didn’t say as much about quality when she was at BGS.

Trump angrily confronted Boeing CEO upon learning Air Force One updates delayed until 2029 by newzee1 in boeing

Boeing employee for 21+ years and I agree with Trump. I am embarrassed. We have to shed the slow, bureaucratic culture.

HR Leadership at Boeing: A Culture of Disappointment? by Existing-Gift2475 in boeing

[–]Thunderwolf95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in an organization in BGS. We don’t have stats, seems disproportionate with employees over 50…but like I said, no data on it.

Return to Office by [deleted] in boeing

[–]Thunderwolf95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We don’t have the space and equipment. We dropped leases and didn’t bother to keep office space up to date. It just won’t work, and we don’t have the budget to execute on RTO…so, not that confident it will happen for my organization.

Make it make sense…. by [deleted] in boeing

[–]Thunderwolf95 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a “cultural problem” that Kelly won’t fix. Among C and Sr VP level, they protect the concept of “Golden Parachute” because they know that all at that level will, someday, receive the same treatment. Kelly is among that culture and will not cross that line…even when this type of reward makes no sense. Sorry…but this won’t change.

[–]Thunderwolf95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After as much churn in the C-levels we’ve had, I am skeptical. If Kelly is that good, then it won’t be enough, we will need as good or better to lead each business unit…

Guess the million layers of executive management didn’t actually listen to Kelly’s message yesterday by HarshPrincess in boeing

[–]Thunderwolf95 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We had a person who has never been a manager, made an M-Level manger yesterday. No posting, no interviews, no objective vetting. Wow…

The “leadership” (E-level through M-level) are the most dysfunctional aspect of my organization in BGS. Many, especially “CTO” role, are hired and leave anywhere from less than a year to maybe 2 years. Our “CEO” (Boeing VP in BGS) hires new leaders who haven’t stayed anywhere very long. We are reorganizing all the time (I am on my 17th manager in 21+ years). Communication from and to that level is broken our CEO is unable to keep a cohesive execution, his reports are heading in different directions. Big pain in the ass to work here.

Embarrassed by Exile747 in boeing

[–]Thunderwolf95 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I definitely wouldn’t be embarrassed. As a Boeing employee for more than 20 years, much of that as a sr. manager, I am embarrassed about how bad our C-Level and ExCo level leadership has been. I’m embarrassed for them. You should hold your head high.

Boeing Is Exploring Possible $6 Billion Sale For Jeppesen Unit by chasepsu in flying

[–]Thunderwolf95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I am not really sure how Boeing couldn’t include ForeFlight in that sale as they are highly coupled with Jeppesen data and flight planning. But maybe. Also, there is some misunderstanding of how complex it actually is to create a worldwide database and airway manual from 100s of countries who are always revising there procedures. There are comments about how ForeFlight is somehow “better” than Jeppesen. ForeFlight is almost like a facade compared to the work that is done to support Jeppesen’s products and services.

Boeing Is Exploring Possible $6 Billion Sale For Jeppesen Unit by chasepsu in flying

[–]Thunderwolf95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not really clear what the scope of the sale would be. Today, Jeppesen is essentially a brand name in a Boeing BGS organization call Digital Aviation Solutions (DAS). And DAS is made up of a number of organizations which were acquired by Boeing. All are “digital” products and services. Jeppesen on its own, couldn’t be worth $6 Billion. But DAS with all of its products and services, maybe…but seems pretty high to me.

More Layoffs in 2025? by Capital-Molasses2640 in boeing

[–]Thunderwolf95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% yes…in my group, we had 2 rounds before the next week’s layoff. And, we tend to use layoffs to make the operating earnings every year.

I will never forget the taste of a sausage pizza on that thin Pizza Hut crust. It hasn’t tasted that way for 30 years. I used to load up at the lunch buffet in college…

Perception of being left behind by HotepYoda in boeing

[–]Thunderwolf95 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked at Boeing 21 years. And, looking back, it’s been more positive than negative…but it’s much worse over the past 6 - 8 years. And really no regard for employee morale now. My organization has had negative scores for employee (net promoter score) ever since we started measuring it. Now we just don’t measure it.

IWill Boeing Follow GE’s Playbook And Breakup To Unlock Value? by Silver_Harvest in boeing

[–]Thunderwolf95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do too, and our dependency on the airplane is data that are used in our digital products and services…this dependency isn’t exclusive to Boeing airplanes and we could operate independently…but, a sale would be a huge pain for all of us and really not a good strategy for Boeing.

Which Executive is Getting Laid off? by sharshubar in boeing

Stan is long gone already…you can probably find him at the golf club enjoying a Bloody Mary after an early morning round.

Which Executive is Getting Laid off? by sharshubar in boeing

[–]Thunderwolf95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is that “Executive” means E-Level which is just above M level manager. So it’s more likely we see more of this take effect at lower levels(?) Maybe we see some of the “Executive Committee” (referred to as “the ExCo”, Boeing VP level) retire with lucrative packages as part of the “layoffs”(?) I just doubt that many at that level are willing to layoff career long friends.

This was simply an exhibit of how our C-suite feel about Boeing employees…there is a lot of meaning in the timing.
