Boeing has the MBA/PMP manager mentality. MBA/PMP types with no engineering, aviation, or Boeing experience run the place. They have an MBA and a 12 week wonder project manager certificate and are given jobs making critical decisions and they know nothing about the consequences of their decisions.

Engineers are looked down on at Boeing as the MBA/PMP types protects their turf. Somewhere I can guarnatee you there is one or more engineers that submitted change requests to fix that battery problem and somewhere there is an MBA manager that had no idea what they were talking about but denied the change request.

Thanks for that information. I'm an engineer with about 12 years of experience and looking for a PMP certification. I've been thinking of it for 4 years now, and wondering if its worth it. I've not had problems finding jobs without such a certification and I already work as a portfolio manager.

I still wonder if its worth it
