Working at Boeing, GE... should be like a kiss of death - permanent ban on any work related to shareholder value

  it is a publicly-traded company though, and if they are not working towards increasing shareholder value the investors will bolt and then how are you gonna pay your bills? :) nationalizing might be a way but the government will run it and that always works out…

    Looks like they maximize short term with various snake oil tactics, but then the company dies long term. For me it has nothing to do with creating value, it is more like putting putting lipstick on a pig. Instead of actually fixing and building things.

  Intel should have someone like Jim Keller on the board. Maybe even software folks like Chris Lattner. Not Boeing, GE, merger and acquisition clowns.

    He was there in 2020! He left after something like 3 months because he couldn't get buy-in for his ideas from senior management, most probably the board of directors: https://www.reddit.com/r/intel/comments/z3set6/jim_keller_apparently_left_intel_2020_because_of/ https://www.reddit.com/r/intel/comments/z3set6/jim_keller_ap...

      It was a bit more than 3 months: According to Wikipedia, between April of 2018 and June of 2020. Him not getting buy-in for his ideas though does appear to be one of the reasons he left.

    Clowns indeed. The only investment Boeing and Intel board members know how to execute is the ole' C-suite self-serving stock buyback. Intel is over 100B in the last 30 years. Boeing bought back 3x what it would have cost to develop the next-gen 737 in very recent history. Clowns with no shame, and apparently no repercussions.
