Until you spend some time off your @ss actually working for the company in question, instead of living your life through a computer website, what you think or have to say is just so much wasted electrons.
This particular company, and its over 255,000 employees world-wide have accomplished amazing feats, changing the world as we know it. But no benefit of the doubt for them, though, eh?
Think about that the next time you climb on an airliner and safely travel the breadth of the country in less than half a day, or think about it the next time you hear of a Super Hornet or Strike Eagle precisely placing a JDAM up some terrorist's @ss.
Companies like this don't need people who sit around all day worried about their "privacy" or their "rights". We need people who can actually accomplish something beside make snap judgments that conveniently fit their class warfare-based world view.
You just violated Boeing’s policy regarding posting on a public web site about Boeing without approval.
Sure thing, genius. I spent 6 years in the Navy’s nuclear power program and work in the aerospace industry now. Do you think I’d be in that line of work if I had a problem working in a place where everything is watched? That’s to be expected if you’re working with proprietary/critical technologies or classified.
Where all this rubs me wrong is when they access your personal e-mail account, follow you around town, and watch your house. If I do that, it’s stalking and very possibly harassment. Since I don’t have a team of expensive lawyers on retainer 24/7 who are good buddies with other expensive lawyers, prosecutors, and judges, apparently I don’t get to take the kind of liberties that Boeing does. I looked into Washington state stalking laws and I don’t see where it says that a private company doesn’t have to follow the same laws that private individuals do.
I care very little what Boeing does in their own house. It’s when they take it on the road that I start to question things. If they’re reading personal e-mails and following somebody all over town, that individual better be prosecutable or civilly sue-able when the investigation is all said and done. Doing all that and then firing them for “poor performance” or “violating company policy” is definitely a foul.
Good, I assume they will be just fine without our tax dollars.

You must be young. As you get a little older you'll find out, that that company such as you're holding up on a pedestal, will very likely one day, use you up and toss you out like yesterdays garbage...Dump you like a bad habit.
Happens *all* the time nowadays friend. You're loyalty and work ethic are meaningless in today's American business meatgrinder. You're nothing but an expense, a number on payroll data waiting to be replaced by someone, or country that'll will work for less.
