    It’s a stupid take though. Boeing quality issues have nothing to do with DEI. It’s MBA senior management types trying to save a buck.

    Of course they're a failure. It'd be like trying to force a certain number of unathletic players on your team. People aren't going to like it so much when the losses start piling up.

    These type of simplistic takes are part of the reason DEI programs exist in the first place.

    Yeah. Unqualified people weren't getting enough jobs. It just wasn't fair!

    Feels like they need to be broken up. Military division. Space Division. Commercial Division. All separate companies.

    Also, did anyone really think DEI was going to work when Larry Fink picked up the ball. Corporate America ruins everything and it will be no different with DEI. Further, Diversity Officer does not need to be a career path.

    I'm thinking DEI compliance officers. That's apparently a degree/course path now. Because, you know, a typical HR degree just isn't enough. :rolleyes:

    It is when you’re trying to deflect from their rep issues…

    I have a couple of nieces that work in the military division of Boeing out in Arizona. I don't think that division is on strike so they are still producing military hardware. The problem is the strike on the commercial side of Boeing is hurting the entire company. As @CHFG8R said, the company needs to be broken up. I would think commercial as one company and the military/space as another company.
