I'm an engineering student in Seattle, and took a class this quarter that brought in a bunch of Boeing employees as mentors for us. The midterm for the class was a presentation in front of about a dozen Boeing engineers. One group was presenting on fasteners, and got to the topic of torque wrenches, which tell you how tight a bolt is when you tighten it. This dude, standing in front of all these Boeing engineers, says "torque wrenches are important because if the bolt is too tight, then it will put stress on the bolt, and if it's too loose, then you could lose a part... like a door."
The reactions from the mentors were priceless.

I had a great uncle that worked for McDonnell-Douglas (now BOEING) until he retired in the 1980/90âs. He is long passed away. He would not fly, even though he could do so for free, sighting he saw what happened on the assembly line. He would drive back to Saskatchewan, Canada from Seattle. More than 1200miles (1800km).

Xerox also dived when the corporate office left Rochester NY manufacturing to relocate in upscale Connecticut. There was a medieval poem lamenting ' the Lord and his Lady no longer join us in the great hall, but take their dinners in private alone". It's one of the saddest and truest statements of what happens when management leaves the ordinary workers

I worked for Boeing for nearly 40 years. Retired in 2019. The problems all started when McDonnell Douglas âmergedâ with us. The whole business model changed from producing quality products to making more money. Period. Just as depicted in this piece. I saw it with my own eyes and lived it every day. So sad. I loved my company and it was like watching someone you love die from a slow and painful death.
