How do new employees gain the experience if they can't get the job without experience?
- toomuchtodo 2y agoYou have to be willing to pay, train, and retain. Collins Aerospace pays $19/hour for third shift aerospace welding work, for example. It's financialization and enshittification from Boeing's board all the way down. Edit: This is why unions are important (although they are not without their own problems). The alternative is C-level strip mining and dumping the liabilities on everyone else. Survival of an org depends on checks and balances between the people who do the work and management. The evidence is clear the incentives are insufficient for management to "do the right thing" and that a board will hold them accountable.

- compiler-guy 2y agoNew employees by themselves aren't the problem, and can be trained and eventually get sufficient experience by working in an environment where the people around them know what they are doing. But if you don't train them, and not enough people around them know what they are doing, they can never get the experience needed. Boeing just cheaped out, didn't retain, didn't train.
