The insider also took aim the Boeing’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, going so far as to say they have made the company “anti-excellence.”
They added: “The DEI narrative is a very real thing, and, at Boeing, DEI got tied to the status game. It is the thing you embrace if you want to get ahead. It became a means to power.
“It is anti-excellence, because it is ill-defined, but it became part of the culture and was tied to compensation. Every HR email is: ‘Inclusion makes us better.’ This kind of politicization of HR is a real problem in all companies.”
Following an incident in January where a door plug blow off an Alaska Airlines plane in mid-air, Boeing’s planes have experienced an increasing number of faults, many of which have been caught on camera.
This caused its stocks to tank and forced Boeing to shell out $160 million to Alaska Airlines for “initial compensation,” as well as being hit with lawsuits from passengers on the plane.
DON’T MISS:
The source says all of the recent faults caused resulted in a “sweeping set of changes that caused huge turnover in talent,” adding that Boeing now has ” an executive council running the company that is all outsiders.”
They said: “Boeing is just a symptom of a much bigger problem: the failure of our elites. The purpose of the company is now ‘broad stakeholder value,’ including DEI and ESG [environmental, social, and governance].
