Boeing has one of the most in depth and required yearly training on the intricacies of contractor and government relationship law and consequences to the company if even one employee breaks those laws. Which programs were involved?
Boeing was one of the best companies in the world to work for, and then they bought mcdonald Douglas and Boeing leadership was turned over to M/D and then the company became a "world class" operation with related changes in policies and goals. Headquarters in Chicago and everything changed. Sad.
Yup. That is the general consensus. Everything went to Shiite following the M/D acquisition. I worked for a company bought by Boeing and they just killed the company. Made it a lifeless husk of it's former self. Most of the top engineers fled to save their careers.
God is trying to teach me forgiveness. When it comes to Boeing, God and I have some work in front of us. I was a MD employee In the eighties/nineties before during and not so fuckin' much after the merger. It cost me literally everything. Marriage (24yrs), house, career, health, youngest child and the oldest child hasn't spoken to or acknowledged me since 2004. Me and God will work on this until my day.
Well, the fight after the merger was between Boeing engineers and MD bean counters. The bean counters won. Luckily for me, I worked with mostly legacy Boeing on a program that required unique technical knowledge. Some of the best people I have ever worked with.

I worked for Boeing late 90s and the pay for engineers was a joke.

I vaguely remember stuff about plant closings and such, like in LA maybe*? What happened with your career with the merger?
*Even vaguer, was the character in Falling Down loosely based on this stuff?
It was called "Reduction in Force". It was forced alright.
