Boeing To Lay Off Hundreds of Engineers Amid Sales Slowdown (reuters.com)
According to Reuters, Boeing has warned its employees that it "planned another round of involuntary layoffs that would affect hundreds of engineers at its commercial airplanes unit." From the report: The latest job cuts followed a prior involuntary reduction of 245 workers set for May 19 as the company responded to increasing competition and slowing aircraft sales. The additional layoffs are due to start June 23, according to the memo from John Hamilton, vice president of engineering at Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "We are moving forward with a second phase of involuntary layoffs for some select skills in Washington state and other enterprise locations," the memo said. "We anticipate this will impact hundreds of engineering employees. Additional reductions in engineering later this year will be driven by our business environment and the amount of voluntary attrition."
Wasn't he the guy who was an expert at making deals? Is this part of his "Make America Great" plan? I thought he had the business savvy and know-how to do in fact the exact opposite of this, and create tons of new jobs!
Or maybe he was selling voters a line all along (like he sold bad steaks) and maybe, just maybe, he is exactly like we told you folks he would be.
He's incompetent. Wake up.
The days when Boeing made most of the airplane in the US are long gone, and have been for a while.
That was because they tried to open a new factory in America, and the Obama administration said it was illegal for them to build a factory in a right-to-work state (which is most of them).

I see you have been marked as flame bait. That happens a lot around here when someone speaks truth.
Yet your post has relevancy to it We were supposed to be winning at this point. And that includes winning at job creation. Everyone feel like they are winning?
