I’m from Seattle. I’ve worked at Boeing before and so have many people I know. It’s not just suits. The company is rotten to the core—from the factory floor to the CEO office. It’s a toxic company culture that pushes out high performers because the high performers makes everyone else look bad. As a result, it only retains low performers. The job can be done in one hour, but the company requires you to be in the office/factory for a full 8 hours. There are a lot of over employed people with second jobs.
Wouldn't low performers hurt production output and piss off upper management? What's the "ideal" employee who succeeds in that environment look like in their day to day work?
While I'm sure there's other toxic factors this 1 hour job requiring you to spend 8 hours is kinda an aviation thing... chances are that guy was on a DoD contract.
The B players are the autocratic strongmen who threaten the world with nuclear war, brag about violating women, seek emoluments, build personal mansions with government money, pal around with dictators, and browbeat C players into shipping unsafe airplanes faster to increase profits.
