The American Prospect has shed some light on the concerning behaviors within Boeing that have led to an uptick in safety issues and controversies recently, forcing CEO David Calhoun to step down this year.
The outlet says that under former CEO Jim McNerney, who led the company from 2005 to 2015, Boeing was directed to adopt a new approach to “knowledge,” prioritizing intellectual property and trade secrets over the expertise and experience of its workforce.
The company derogatorily labeled employees who prioritized the planes’ integrity over stock prices as “phenomenally talented a**holes” and marginalized them within to encourage them to leave.
Resist The Mainstream reported last month that a Boeing insider attributed the aviation giant’s decline to a combination of remote work among profit-driven executives and an excessive focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
