“Over time, some of our corporate functions have grown quite large. And with that growth tends to come bureaucracy or disparate systems that are inefficient,” Friedman said. “So we’re streamlining.”

LMAO! That's corporate speak for lazy fat cunts who got hired to meet quotas hired other fat cunts and they spread like a plague of leeches. So, they're getting out the salt.

The three empires of Seattle have been firing thousands of people. This won't be a good time.

How is India going to do the work? Especially since Boeing is a military contractor.

3 Empires of Seattle. Don't think I've ever heard that before.

Boeing, Amazon, and Microsoft, I guess?

Gotttem in one.

Nintendo is in Redmond and the joke goes it's right next to the Microsoft building. This is because MSoft owns almost everything.

"Will the last person out of Seattle please turn off the lights?"

A true seattlite doesn't need lights. Their paleness is bright enough to see at night.

I was referring to a sign people have put up every time Boeing does a big layoff.

It took me a moment because the Supersonics moved 10 years ago, and I had to recheck the date.

It's odd, because if you search for that phrase, this is the only article that pops up until page 4 or so.

I've heard the joke, but thought it was common in every city.

Financial division. They just cook the books for them.

Because the grease-fire and toxic fumes from the diverse HR hamplanets' mobility scooters burning would pollute as much as half a trip of one of the Boeing planes.

Boeing really went woke and broke.

I remember they had 300 diversity councils right about the same time all their new planes crashed and satellites failed to enter orbit.

Its also interesting to note that 100% indian teams will never employ a western person. So RIP Boeing

Even better, six Boeing engineers and two hired typists/stenographers created the B-52 in a hotel suite over a three-day weekend.

Assuming that no one involved slept, less than 500 engineer man-hours created an aircraft that is going to be flying over a century past its design.

Replacing HR with Indian dudes is the funniest thing I can imagine.

Actually their jobs might not do any work anyway so no replacement is required

This was the inevitable result of moving jobs to permanent work from home then realizing if they didn't need people in person then they didn't need to pay people near them and could outsource for way cheaper for the same result.
