- peteradio 3y agoDid people routinely resign in protest at Boeing? I guess part of it would have to include shouting from the rooftops which I've only done to the extent of griping to family, (I'm not well off enough to kick my former employers in the nads). Truly astounding requests/denials trickle down from the bean counters, and against all reasoning gets pushed through often to the net negative of all. But we must push on lest we be seen to be the worst of all people backtrackers.
