Boeing: “The best in the industry used to crawl over shattered glass just to get an interview to work here. And now the company is begging high school students to apply.” (labornotes.org)

Well, Boeing, you cut your staff and salaries to the bone, used your profits on stock buy backs & to give absurd multi-million dollar bonuses to your C-suite stuffed suits, and killed whistleblowers who try to rat on your inhumane business practices. Do you think you can figure out why you can't attract talent now, Boeing? Do ya?

Don't forget you screwed over your unionized employees and moved production to states with weaker labor laws.

Meanwhile, your biggest advertisement to the labor force has been congressional investigations due to your management practices and products failing and killing people

Can't think why people wouldn't be excited to work for Boeing, who wouldn't want to build their resume there?
