MD engineering and management has ruined Boeing.

Possibly, but this situation is caused by the maintainance contractors lifting the engine using a forklift from underneath instead of a sling from above. The methodology was determined to cause metal fatigue that led to fatal crashes back in the 1970s.

Despite specific prohibition of the technique, the maintainance company was using it.
