Just wanted to ask as I havent heard anything how/where do I get the signing "bonus" from the contract? I can't find anything on work-life or my Boeing pages!

Rule number 1: No touching of the hair or face... AND THAT'S IT!

Good luck parking out there. Every driver for themselves.

Anybody else supposed to start Nov 1st but got pushed back to January 31st?

Let's have some more positivity. We have all heard stories of bad conduct of managers at The Boeing Company.

What's an instance where you were genuinely surprised by the kindness, competence, or character of a manager?

I once had a manager drop an absolute masterpiece of a positive performance review. I printed it out and still refer back to it when I'm low on my estimation of my own performance, attitude, or character. (Or I need to remind myself of what good conduct looks like.)

So I've been on three interviews in the past week for Northrop and Lockheed. I have only ever done Boeing interviews for the past 10 years. One thing I noticed is that they didn't ask me about a time I did xyz or how I manage multiple dongs at the same time. They asked me about my experience, some AS9100 questions, and some technical questions. It was nice to do an interview like that. I think that's something Boeing should change if they want to have a better chance of identifying actual talent instead of bull shit artists. Good luck to everyone out there hunting!

How many times do I have to fight it? How much longer will this be allowed? Is it just me, or have others experienced this madness??

Just a thought exercise since roughly 10% of us are on the chopping block.. How many of us would be screwed financially if we got laid off in this tough job market? Do you have 6 months of emergency funds saved? Are you living paycheck to paycheck? Or somewhere in between?

New employee here, I was hired in as entry level. However my grade profile listed me as tier 2. Does that mean I am a t2 not t1? I would prefer being t1 for salary package 😅. Came from different company usually we do p1 p2 p3, so this bit new to me.

When inflation catches up with your paycheck before the next contract vote if you voted to accept you do understand you don't get complain about jack shit right? Just making sure we're all on the same page. Be safe at work everyone, wear your ppe, watch for heavy machinery and vehicles, excited to be back. I was getting bored 😊

Now that Boeing has had their vote, now it's time to vote for the country

Has anyone else's first line manager been radio silent the past few weeks since the announcements were made?

I know we are a much smaller group, but just wondering if anyone has heard anything. Our team supports both BGS and BCA.

So the C’s have raised a bunch of capital with debt and equity offerings.

What do you think they will do with all the cash??

Gimme your thoughts…

There was word that people from renton were going to start moving in October to work in everett if we had no strike in September.

Really dumb question lol.

I set up my strike pay when we first got our cards. I shredded the paper afterwords and just let it accrue on my card without checking or using it because I didn't really need the money at all. But with the strike being over I forgot how what website or app it is that I can access the money and put it in my bank lol.

How do I access it again?

See you later, 3% wage pools 👋

Will interviews and conversions resume?

YES WON

Come on already.

Do new hires get the ratification bonus before layoffs?

As a recruiter on the East Coast and no skin in the game I can tell you pensions are extinct. Don't die on that hill. Get a good match and max out your 401k. Good luck guys, I hope the vote passes and you can get back to making the best plane in the sky!

Has anyone in SPEEA BCA heard anything recently? There are a ton of rumors floating around that BCA core engineering is not affected in round 1 layoffs; has anyone heard anything/ back up these rumors or gotten any other kind of update? My manager has been absolutely silent, so my team knows nothing.

Help me pick a medical plan. Which one do you use and why? I currently have Embright preferred partnership advantage +.

Fuck this company and all the lazy managers that come with it. Got laid off and manager did not look me in the eye one time. Little weasel of a man. My quality reports were always top 5. Hardest worker on that lazy team.

New contract voting Monday

I wish boeing would do more negotiating than trying to keep throwing money. Right now they are vote fishing for the remaining percentage. My SO in manufacturing side has been ok with the amount of pay along with 80-90% of her own co workers.

What they are wanting to change is progression down to 5 years. Along with changes to PTO(failing behind major aerospace companies) as I have friends who work for airbus and space X also. I don’t blame them for being angry. Boeing has been doing the “Final Offer, we won’t negotiate” on every contract they have tried to pass. And they aren’t even entertaining all the other stuff the ONION is trying to pass albeit some of the stuff I listed.
This would have passed at like 2 contracts ago when it was at 30%. If boeing had just lowered progression back to 5 years, given 1 dollar per 6 months raises instead of 50%. Til cap. Make GWI 25% first month and so on ( the point of the wage increase was to catch up from years ago. Not to drag it on for 4 more years) And some extra PTO. That’s about what half the people. Not everybody are pension

Many people think they are doing the same cheap tricks and threats like they did back in 2014 and a lot of people are not going for it this time. They should have actually done open negotiations with the Onion on all topics. You want votes to b 70%. They are trying to repair the relationship between managers/higher ups with the floor. This will only cause further disparity with a 50+1 split. Many people still want to Boeing to be a non high turnaround shitlhole like it once was. Also, all SPEA should be rooting for IAM. Their contract sets the staple for the next contact.
