Boeing reviews

Boeing is drastically trying to increase profits. Part of how they are doing this is hiring people into lower level jobs at lower pay and giving them higher level work. Newer, younger people jump at the opportunity to prove themselves anticipating promotions and raises that never happen. It's rigged to work this way on purpose. Performance reviews aren't individualized. Instead, you are rated against your peers in your group. This creates a very competitive environment where employees are constantly trying to one-up each other and make each other look bad while hiding behind "Boeing Behaviors". This creates a highly politicized environment that brings out the very worst in people and reduces them to acting like schoolyard bullies. You won't encounter people of soaring character willing to take the high road like one might expect at Boeing but will instead be met with gossiping, backstabbing and flat-out meanness on a daily basis.

I worked for Boeing for 10 years. I agree with the comment if you are well liked you will advance. If not you will not get any support or training. As an older employee from day one I was disrespected by younger employees and received no training or support from management. I watched more than once as manager talked negatively and disrespected older employees in staff meetings and in our daily task. Once I was given a good performance review and then a month later was told I was a poor employee even though my actions were poorly directed by management every step of the way. The last two years of my employment were among the hardest. I was put on a list of older employees to be fired. Even over heard one manger say that this was being directed to older employees. They even put a job notice out before they let employee go. I was never allowed to advance and their procedures were unorganized. Every contract I was put on was a mess that needed cleaning up. I was yelled at by younger mangers in front of my co-workers constantly. In the end I was brought in a law suit by other employees. They won their age discrimination law suite and one former employee’s condition specifically called out my name. Even though I was not part of the employee suing the company. I will never remind employment with this company.
