We completely agree, they have a serious issue with their management culture that goes back nearly twenty years (that I wrote about in another comment). It's now manifesting as poor execution, particularly on big, complex jobs like Starliner. They are hardly alone though as Northrop Grumman just had a multi-billion dollar classified program outright cancelled due to poor performance.
We are in the midst of a competency crisis across the board where once great institutions are failing. But this has far more to do with corporate vultures hell-bent on raising stock prices short term rather than focusing on long term growth. Add to that supply chain issues from Covid, three years of highly inefficient work from home, kids coming out of college that cannot think for themselves, and DEI (to a small extent). Problems that were hidden are now surfacing.
My issue is two-fold: 1) People blaming this all on DEI when it's actually probably less than 10% of the cause, and 2) the media hyping every recent incident with a Boeing aircraft while ignoring it on other aircraft. Both are manipulative and being used to push an agenda.
I know from personal experience Boeing has far less DEI stuff than other big companies. It's there of course to some extent, but it's background noise compared to others. Boeing is historically a cautious and conservative company, they don't jump on every bandwagon like many others. It's also highly ethical at least at the worker bee level (cannot speak for executives). Yet people with no experience with the company are ready to parrot nonsense because the media and conservative "influencers" are whipping up a frenzy.
Now we may agree with some of that agenda (i.e. being against DEI) but that doesn't make it true, a lie is still a lie. I'm sure you don't believe what the media says about Covid, the vax, Israel, or climate change, why do you believe them here? Why do you believe what some guy with a twitter account (who could be a Chinese agent for all I know) says?
We laugh at the covidians for believing all the nonsense from the media and people still wearing masks four years later. How can they still fall for this we wonder. Yet we do the exact same thing (and I mean exact) when someone pushes a narrative that aligns with our existing biases. Then we wonder why people call us Trumptards that can't think for ourselves.
I believe we are on the right side of history here but we really need some introspection before jumping on narrative that we happen to like. The world is filled with grifters on all sides.
They can't even get their manned space capsule delivered after SpaceX (which doesn't use DEI) has beat them by years.
Boeing disfunction is directly proportional to their purge of experienced White staffers.
They're a symptom of all our formerly greatest intuitions. Being systematically ruined in the name of equity and equality.
