Before I went the self-employed route, I briefly worked at Boeing. It is WAY worse than depicted in the media. Like, by orders of magnitude. We were burdened with not one, but two diversity hires in my department, Conceptual Analysis under the Aerodynamics group. One, a know-nuffin nigger literally named Jamal, accidently corrupted terabytes of CFD data because he did not know what he was doing. His degree was from some kind of ober-watered down engineering fundamentals program at Tuskeegee, as was our new boss who replaced our PhD boss when he retired, a loudmouthed, disrespectful negress with zero aero background. After she lied to upper management about Jamal's fuckup, blaming us; of the five of us, the two in the group who were Asian elected to 'take responsibility' for it, and were outright fired. We three of us remaining resigned in protest the moment sheboon broke the news to us, bragging that we 'were next'. In unison, we grabbed our shit, went to HR, handed over our badges and walked out. That was 2.5 years ago. Last we heard, the Aero Conceptual Analysis branch is still in total disarray. Let them eat cake.
Given how fucked up they are, we feel vindicated. Of us three, one went to another OEM, and other one and I took a gamble, headed to TX and went into business with two friends in the area. It is a lot of long hours nowadays, but it's the best decision I ever made.
