That’s basically everything now. Keep them shareholders happy at all costs…few crashed planes, layoffs, outsourcing to low quality subs. Capitalism has its downsides.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with making more money. But there’s different ways to do it. Building a bigger and better business that builds great products is generally a good thing. Slowly running the business into the ground by solely focusing on maximizing quarterly profit is generally a bad thing.

was that the MD- philosophy? Or just the problem of the biggest company with shareholders pushing for the market share?

You know there are other companies out there with good engineers and better management who don't put profits above people. Why are these schools in fucking bed with Boeing anyway, or did they just get short-sighted creatively, and figure they'd pick Boeing cuz they stand out like the Golden Arches in the state of Washington. I guess if you're an aeronautics or aerodynamics major, presenting to Boeing kind of makes sense. Otherwise, I'd tell both Boeing and my school to eff off, and if I'm a good student then I can figure out a better place to have my project peer reviewed. Anyway good luck man... own the industry.

Wow. Enshittification. What a word

The number one thing they teach in business schools is “A company’s primary responsibility is to its shareholders” This is where that teaching has gotten us

With enshittification comes affordability, and despite people's complaints, we like that. Without enshittification, a basic TV would cost about $1,500 instead of $300. What we need to do is re-establish our priorities and demand certain safety-sensitive industries back out of that enshittification model. But how?

​@@beenaplumber8379...nah. This is just bullshit, through-and-through. 1. The kind of "enshittification" we're talking about here primarily passes savings onto shareholders, _NOT_ customers. In fact, it's often directly at the expense of customers. Raising prices more than necessary in response to inflation and supply-chain complications; maintaining the same prices on certain products while trying to sneakily use cheaper, lower-quality materials; etc. 2. There is a difference between making processes more efficient, and seeing which genuinely detrimental changes you can get away with. The former does often require people with knowledge of organizational principles and operations, that's true. But the point is to leave quality unchanged, or at least within acceptable margins that customers agree to as a compromise for the reduced price. What we're seeing is worsening conditions for no customer benefit. I remember when Guitar Center was bought out by a capital holdings firm. You know what happened? They started aggressively pushing predatory in-store credit cards, and pressuring employees to rope customers in to the program. Do you know what didn't happen? Reduced prices. This is the kind of shit we're talking about. You can always choose to end your relationship with a favorite company and shop somewhere else, but there are two issues there: people can't always tell when the quality of materials has gotten worse without independent tests, and this enshittification is becoming more and more pervasive. Many have switched to a different company, only for the new company to undergo similar shifts/takeovers not long after. This has been my partner's experience with skincare products. Frankly, I think you just don't know what you're talking about here, and feel some odd need to defend the head assholes in charge. Perhaps "something something STICKING TO THE PRINCIPLES OF UNREGULATED MARKETS something something".

You shouldn't cut corners in anything or any product. Period.

Ummm otay... Lets review. Engineering is the practice of creating a solution that addresses a challenge with minimal resources. It has ALWAYS been the core principle of engineering. Always dealing with constraints. Based on your tribalistic view... we should forge one single billet and whittle a plane out of it... you know because "cutting corners" is dumb. Oh and lets be VERY CLEAR. Cutting corners literally saves lives. Failure to chamfer or radius structures creates stress risers that really enjoy sudden and catastrophic failures well below the materials yield strength.

​@@Katchi_ok, but safety regulations and OSHA exist for a reason

You *can* cut corners. But sooner or later, the front *will* fall off.

@@Katchi_ Are you purposely being obtuse or do you honestly think that Boeing's engineers that built a reputation of excellence and well-crafted jets over several decades of existence somehow became better when a bunch of bean counters shifted their priorities to the bottom line?

Morals are a bitch!

Retaliated how? What were the consequences?

Because they tow the corporate line and are beholden to them. And they care more about getting paid than having integrity.

Because John Olivier & team are real journalists disguised as comedians, while incompetent morons are pretending to be actual journalists.

He missed the quality issue with snowman holes in the fuselage beams on the NG (Al Jazeera made "On a wing and a prayer" about it), and did not clarify that the "fixed" MAX still has stab trim cutoff switches wired differently than the NG, making recovery from runaway trim much harder. Basically, the second MAX crash happened because the pilots could not move the stab trim wheel with their hands while trying to pull up.

Because almost the entirety of the Fourth Estate has been purchased by a few monopolists who are themselves 100% concerned with shareholder wealth, manipulating public opinion to sell their preferred politicians, and pushing citizens to overspend on consumer goods they don't need due to FoMO. John Oliver is a rare exception and it is extremely telling that the only way to get real critical-thinking based coverage of serious issues is to do so under the guise of a comedy show.

These problems were extensively described in the media only two years ago, after the two crashes. Why do all the same media start this story as if this is the first hick up. Only in redactional pieces they start bringing up the already known issue of corporate culture. The story of this accident should have been: Corporate culture in Boeing still not turned around, despite the two crashes years ago.

"At Boeing, we're too big to fail, but our planes aren't."

"Let's risk your customers lives to make more money!" Some time ago, Boeing arranged an annual rowing competition with a Japanese company that would take place in a rowing eight on a river. Both teams trained long and hard to reach their highest level of performance. When the big day came, both teams were in top shape, but the Japanese won the race by a kilometer. After this defeat, the Boeing team was very affected. Morale was at its lowest point. Top management immediately decided to find out the reason for this crushing defeat. An internal project group made up of experts from various departments across the group was set up to investigate the problem and recommend appropriate remedial action. After lengthy research and analysis, it was found that the Japanese had seven people rowing and one man steering, while the Boeing team had one man rowing and seven steering. After a closed meeting, top management immediately hired a renowned consulting firm to carry out a study on the structure of the team. After several months and considerable expense, the consultants concluded that there were too many people steering and too few rowing. And again, after several conferences and meetings, Boeing management made an uncompromising, clear decision without hesitation. In order to create clear responsibilities, the team structure was radically reorganized. In addition to the rower, there were now four helmsmen, two senior helmsmen and a tax director. A performance evaluation system was also introduced for the rower to increase his motivation. “We need to expand his scope of duties and give him more responsibility.” The group's supervisory board awarded top management an additional bonus for their extraordinary efforts. The next year the Japanese won by two kilometers. Management responded promptly. It fired the rower for poor performance, sold the oars and stopped all investment in the boat. The money saved was paid to top management as a performance bonus. In order to improve the starting position for the next race, the management decided to have the boat certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001.

..."At Boeing, we're too big to fail. But we're trying."... Very trying.

They don't care what they do because the government will just bail them out if they screw up too badly or if something that every other business has to deal with (pandemic, economic crisis) happens to them too, the pattern has been established- top execs can still take lots of money, have no consequences, and stay in business by holding millions of employees' jobs hostage, and the US Gov't has to pay the ransom.

@@jpoeng And the so called FAA quality inspectors that Boeing employed is misleading, they were employees first and trained to be inspectors. So you could have some guy who installed rivets one day end up being an inspector after some training supplies by Boeing themselves. I actually wonder if the inspectors ever saw someone who was from the FAA

@@keithsalter6832 The FAA has confirmed as much when the first MAX 8 went down. They confessed they didn't have the manpower to execute mandatory checks and certification which they allowed the manufacturer to do themselves and then just rubber stamped them.

@@yoeriw7099 True, around the time I left they were starting a new program where the employee doing the work would inspect and buy off his own inspection, with an actual inspector checking say 5 out of a hundred parts. I don’t know if they continued doing this but it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s still done today.

@@keithsalter6832 that sounds on brand. Also that they asked the FAA for dispensation for the MAX 7 because they have a fix in a bit, is just crazy. It's only the engine cowls blowing up right and only when the engine anti-ice is on, so that's not a safety risk at all /s

@@Kelly-ju1kw the best thing we can do to spam our senators and the doj with well written emails to use their influence to reregulate the aerospace industry, and use their influence to influence to doj and FBI to investigate Boeings executives. Here's a sample Dear Senator, I am writing to urgently request your office's intervention in launching thorough investigations into Boeing and its executives, highlighting the imperative nature of holding these individuals accountable for their actions. Recent events have vividly underscored the dire need for transparency and accountability within the upper echelons of the company. The aerospace industry plays an indispensable role in ensuring the safety and security of millions of passengers globally. It has become glaringly evident, however, that Boeing and its executives have been prioritizing shareholder stock buybacks and maximizing profits over safety concerns, resulting in egregious negligence that has had catastrophic consequences. The repeated instances of negligence, such as those unveiled in the wake of the Boeing 737 MAX crashes, point to a disturbing trend where safety takes a backseat to profit margins. It is unacceptable that corporate interests are allowed to supersede the well-being and safety of passengers and crew members. Furthermore, the circumstances surrounding the alleged suicide of whistleblower John Barnett raise serious questions about the integrity and ethics within Boeing's corporate culture. Mr. Barnett's untimely death occurred before he could finish his testimony, and it strains credulity to accept that he would have committed suicide under such circumstances. The abrupt end to his testimony and the apparent inconsistencies surrounding his death demand a thorough investigation to uncover the truth. Additionally, it is evident that the previous presidential administrations' decisions to deregulate the aerospace industry have been a colossal mistake. Deregulation has created an environment where profit motives often overshadow safety considerations, leading to disastrous outcomes. I urge you to advocate for new congressional laws and regulations that prioritize safety and accountability within the aerospace industry, ensuring that incidents like those involving Boeing are prevented in the future. I implore you not only to take decisive action within Congress but also to utilize your influence to urge appropriate agencies such as the FBI and DOJ to conduct comprehensive investigations into these matters. It is imperative that Boeing executives are held accountable for their decisions and actions, and that justice is served for the victims and their families. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I trust in your commitment to upholding the principles of accountability, transparency, and public safety.

*If It's Boeing, I Ain't Going*

It goes Boing, Boing Boing as it bounces on the floor not advancing...

I vaguely remember reading that it was written by some unqualified Indian software engineers and basically consisted of a loop that checked one of the AOA sensors every 10 seconds, and then adjusted the trim, with no bounding on how much. The reason it didn't check the other sensor was because if there was a disagreement between the two you would need some kind of indicator in the cockpit and a procedure for that.

@@kazesim88 The really weird part that I remember was that it did use both sensors but in a really stupid way - each time the plane was started it would swap sensors to the opposite one from the previous startup. That made the initial assessment challenging because the flight crew on one of the flights where the pitch up didn't lead to a crash flagged it, but then the plane switched to the working AOA sensor when the engineers checked it and it all seemed to be working, only to switch back a little while later and crash it completely

I think it's cuz they can hide behind the company if it's an LLC (limited liability company). And most corporations are. So if their lawyers are good they can avoid liability for knowingly taking actions that kill people.

Boeing, 4th biggest Sleepy Joe campaign donator 2020/2024. Explained?

I mean they were jealous, of course they would say that

​@@alexspataJealous of working in a shithole?😂

@@alexspata the employees who work at Boeing are jealous?

@@alexspata Wouldn't they lure you into staying instead, slick?

@@Onigirli no, they don't want you to take their jobs 😂 of course they would say that

I mean, to be fair, that’s often just what engineers are like… 😆😆🤷‍♂️

Your friend is wrong. It's billions of dollars of equipment XD

I don't think it's their fault; Boeing's managerial negligence is to blame. For example, they've been cutting jobs for years now, and overworking those still there as a result.

Don’t blame stock price chasing and mismanagement on engineers

@@Sbinott0 In my experience, working level folks of all functions were the most focused on the safety & reliability of the products. Upper management, not so much. And it all breaks down when middle management doesn’t have the courage or ability to push back on top level BS or communicate effectively/truthfully in either direction.

😂

Every time money is spent on stock buybacks, that quite literally is value being extracted from the company and given towards shareholders. They are butchering their own company for the monetary gain of shareholders (which includes the C-level execs btw, they usually own quite a lot of shares).

I bought call options that Boeing stock would go up after this happened, made 600 dollars, and now have a popcorn machine in my apocalypse bunker.

LOL

Ain't that ironic?

that dosnt sound like a fun fact.

Quality escape...what would George Carlin say?!

When someone says fun fact and you’re trying to find the fun part.😢

Fun fact?? More like… NON-fun fact!! *slaps knee 😂

Exactly this

100%true , I was a machinist at Boeing contractors for 15 years before getting a job at Boeing. The management culture at both are absolutely terrible.

This isn't the problem, according to right wingers it's women and black people boeing hired! 🤣

@@lococomrade3488plain don’t run outta Wichita, less’n your a hog or cattle. People plain runs outta…Stubbsville.

"But line must go up. Line cant go up if we dont cut costs." "We could cut executive salaries..." Shocked picacchu face.

... and reaches a far larger audience, which might actually exclude certain Boeing planes while making their flight choices

That's the truly damning part. Any other manufacturer (and once upon a time, Boeing itself) would have three redundant systems for a vital piece of tech such as that. It's baffling, and potentially criminal.

pretty much everyone in a management role is an idiot who is the son of some guy who used to be important.. its up to us smart asses that no one appreciates and society craps all over to keep this whole thing together.. hopefully ai will replace these smooth brains soon..

Yawn

Jesus, learn to spell.

Unreliable narrator.

@@SpoonfightChecks out to me given what we’re seeing 😂

Did you make it? 👀

@@bribri0786 I hope we get a reply. Otherwise... 😞

I hope it was an Airbus

Please let us know if you arrived safely 🫡

He dies before his 2nd testimony.

And it's always bullshit. Operations and ground level employees are not where fiscal waste happens.

It's a cost-leader strategy. It's fine when you want to shop at Walmart, but I'm not sure it should be used for flying 400 miles per hour at 40,000 feet.

Not a slogan, a lie.

Is the Slogan of Neo-Liberalism in a globalized world

There are many companies that take pride in quality work. There are some who do not. And some customers who just shop for the lowest price, get crap quality, then fail to see how their poor decisions lead to poor outcomes. This is a real problem at Boeing and not just "oh everyone does that hee hee."
