I lived in Seattle for 7 years and got to know some Boeing project managers. The stories they told are very similar to this one. Apparently the life of a Boeing PM or Engineer is endless meetings, I asked one of my friends why this was the case. His response? A good chunk of the managers at Boeing won’t use email.
- philpem 7y agoI wouldn't be surprised if this was a liability thing. You can't subpoena a conversation unless it was recorded...
- dilyevsky 7y agoIt’s standard practice for big corp to auto-erase emails after N months for this reason (well officially they dress it as cost saving measure).
- pier25 7y agoNot being able to use modern forms of communication is one of the biggest problems where I work now. I'm in a remote team and we are completely isolated to whatever happens in the company. Most departments only get reached by management when there is a problem. It's a relatively small company of about 50 employees and there is zero sense of team work.
