And the bean counters destroyed the engineering department of Boeing years ago -- got rid of competent, stable employees who worked hard and had benefits, tossed them out on their keisters and replaced them with temps and no benefits. And they're doing that in all the engineering sectors - cue my biomedical engineer kid with 5 years of experience and 3 patents under her belt by the age of 28, pushed out with bogus "performance improvement plans". She was one of the last to be laid off - after a multiple-month fight on her part - making them take back these claims and forcing them to lay her off with a couple months severance instead of demoralizing her so badly she would just quit. (They are still pushing her patents through the FDA process). And every. single. one. of these employees had medical benefits and were replaced by temps with no benefits. It's my theory they know now that these poor souls will be facing life threatening illnesses from being forced to get the jab, and want to make certain they aren't on the hook for any medical care they will need going forward. UNCONSCIONABLE.
Reminds me of when the bean-counters took over the American auto industry from the engineers decades ago. That's when quality went out of automobiles and now Detroit is a wasteland.
My father-in-law was a career engineer with McDonnell-Douglas in St Louis. It was purchased by Boeing and he was subsequently encouraged to ‘retire’. Undoubtedly, he was a very expensive employee, and had that old-school work ethic that was not popular with incoming management.
I just hate hearing these stories. I'm sure your father was an exemplary engineer and people need purpose in their lives! Covid lockdowns destroyed so much of the economy and so many people have just given up. I hate seeing social media tear down the 20-somethings - they need our help, not our scorn.
