Having lived in STL for about 10 years now, I know a ton of Boeing people. Every single one of them who’s still there hates it, and the others got away as quickly as they could. It’s somewhat universally known as a shit show in town, but I’m confident that info doesn’t make it to college students or new grads. The universities benefit too much from Boeing.
Oh my God this is so f-ing true. It makes me think a lot of sociology classes I took in college where we’d talk about the artificiality of money how it’s only meaningful because we have collectively decided it is. The folks who try to make it all scientific with lots of elaborate analytics and complex charts are basically just engaging a social math exercise.
