Boeing is letting top executives work in small offices near their homes and commute by private jet rather than relocate to its new headquarters::Top brass at the aerospace giants, including CEO David Calhoun, are given special treatment when it comes to any return-to-office policy.
Rules for thee but not for me 🤡
“we cannot do layoffs, it looks bad! How can we fire people easily???”
My former company just fired anyone that couldn’t commute from Alabama to Chicago after being remote for two years. Execs were remote from Canada…
What’s the company so I can stop buying their goods/services?
It’s surprisingly common for aerospace companies to have planes traveling between locations every day just in case an employee needs to go to a different office that day… I don’t think we deserve the planet we live on…
Some people don’t deserve this planet for sure yes.
Don’t speak for everyone, not all of us are like this and we shouldn’t all be punished because some of us are like this lol
Just said it’s surprisingly common, not that it’s the case everywhere!

rules for teh, not for meh
Also Boeing has a stupid aerospace division. Check their Starliner.
Aerospace division? Do you even know what Boeing does? Its all aerospace (except I guess for that one sub thing they made I think?)
But ya, Calhoun is a lord on high for sure.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But while the aerospace giant has tried to limit working outside of the office—30% of its job ads today allow for remote or hybrid working—several of Boeing’s top executives have not relocated closer to the company’s new Virginia headquarters and reportedly rarely show their faces in the office.
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, over the last three years, a private jet has been chartered around 400 times near his two homes—a waterfront estate on Lake Sunapee in New Hampshire and a house in a gated resort community in Buffalo, South Carolina.
Boeing told the WSJ that its Canaan premise, where West occasionally works from, was necessary to recruit the company’s new treasurer, David Whitehouse who lives around 30 minutes away.
A spokesperson told Fortune that the firm’s top executives do enjoy more perquisites than lower-ranking personnel, like private jets, but that there is no company-wide mandate to come in and that any RTO requests have been made on a team-by-team basis.
“As with many companies, we have introduced more flexibility across multiple levels to enable people to work in ways that are most productive and supportive of our global business, and we’re pleased that this approach has allowed us to attract top talent across disciplines as we continue to execute our recovery plans.”
Boeing’s remote-working bosses are a familiar story for workers across the globe who are being encouraged to return to the office while their superiors conspicuously remain absent: McKinsey research revealed that high-earning mid-to-senior-level employees worldwide are digging in their heels when it comes to letting go of the pandemic-induced shift to working from home.
The original article contains 762 words, the summary contains 271 words. Saved 64%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
jfc we made office jobs work during the pandemic remotely during 2 years, why these f-ing dinosaurs insist in burning the planet so they can smell each other coffee breath?
“If it’s Boeing, I ain’t going!”
Did I get it right?
The same or similar execs who likely tore apart a titan of economy, culture, operations and quality, just so they could juice their options or grants for a decade. Cannot recommend the book Flying Blind highly enough: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/646497/flying-blind-by-peter-robison/:
