What you've described as "shady" is what I consider to be normal and good business. As technology improves less skilled workers can complete the tasks. If you want to compete, you have to get rid of your high income workers as much as possible.

I agree, this is normal and healthy business at work. If you're not making a profit, you have to restructure or close your company.	vortexmagus	March 18, 2014 08:52AM
I am pretty sure there isn't an aircraft manufacturing company in the world without massive government subsidy	Quas	March 19, 2014 08:16AM
Don't forget, profit is a bad word these days. (n/t)	Doof	March 17, 2014 01:18PM
"Profit above all" is a dirty word. Don't confuse the notions.	wrathpuppet	March 17, 2014 02:52PM
Their number one priority is profit. If it were safety, they'd be out of business because they over-engineered everything. (n/t)	Doof	March 18, 2014 01:32PM
This is correct. It's not like we're a grocery chain that got rid of older workers for fresh minimum wage workers. This is the largest manufacturer of commercial airlines and fighter jets in the country. They just use different words for downsizing. Diffe (n/t)	funnyone	March 18, 2014 10:43AM

You have, quite honestly, a rare opportunity:	The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP)	March 15, 2014 11:20AM
Didn't think of it that way. Could work. It's a tough industry to get into but I'm going to try. (n/t)	funnyone	March 18, 2014 10:34AM
You're getting paid to do a job that you agreed to do. Either quit, or stop being a pussy and do your job. (n/t)	Doof	March 15, 2014 03:43AM
It's not always that cut-and-dried.	wrathpuppet	March 15, 2014 04:24AM
I don't have access to all reports but I wonder how much money is being lost in training these very two HUGE groups at Boeing. It's why the IT department is years behind right now. Airplanes run on a huge computer. Call me stupid, but I'd like those engin (n/t)	funnyone	March 18, 2014 10:39AM
Still sounds simple to me. Get it done, son, and stop fucking around. I suspect upper mgmt expects you to get those idiots trained up ASAP. (n/t)	Doof	March 16, 2014 02:12AM
Shouting slogans doesn't really help.	wrathpuppet	March 16, 2014 03:16AM
Hey, I agree with you. That's why the company I work for has about 100 folks on staff and I make about 75% more than when I worked for Siemens.	Doof	March 17, 2014 12:26AM
Yep	lurk	March 15, 2014 05:07AM
sounds like you need to negotiate with your management better (n/t)	Quas	March 14, 2014 10:27AM
Doesn't work like that here, but I get what you are saying :) (n/t)	funnyone	March 15, 2014 03:43AM
it can, but I get what you are saying	Quas	March 20, 2014 03:31AM
Hang out with rich people.	PaulO	March 14, 2014 06:29AM
Being rich would make it much easier. (n/t)	funnyone	March 14, 2014 03:58PM
I think this is a great idea. I mean you're intelligent, funny, charming and god dammit, people like you.	Rhyaldrin	March 14, 2014 03:33AM
Your characters are pussies, and I call you out on it. Get over it. (n/t)	funnyone	March 14, 2014 04:36AM
You think that is shady AND you want to join politics?	tesline	March 13, 2014 06:43AM
It's gotta change somehow, doesn't it? (n/t)	funnyone	March 14, 2014 03:06AM
Best to use a bible and a gun for that. (n/t)	Matrik	March 14, 2014 04:58AM
my suggestions	hopelessdwarf	March 13, 2014 05:29AM
Good ideas. Thanks. I'll do that. (n/t)	funnyone	March 14, 2014 03:07AM
Start Very, Very Small. Community Boards, Locate District Counselperson should be your short term goal. (n/t)	dubs	March 13, 2014 05:17AM
