In 2009 my company sent me to Boeing’s Seattle headquarters to interface for a joint project. The overall sensation was that Boeing employees were entitled, arrogant and unaccepting of any input. I got this feeling even from overhead conversations in the cafeteria. The company seems rotten from the head to the guy mopping the floors. The reason Boeing was even involved in the project was because a Senator required it to get his vote on the funding. The necessity of making them a co-manager added an element of expense and random disorganization that eventually combined with other problems to kill the project. Too many cooks. And the cooks from Boeing had no clue how to make a soup.
I was laid off from Boeing in 2009. The 2009-2010 layoffs were ~15000 people. Engineers and Line Workers.
But not a single Manager lost **their** job. . .
