I think most companies should be like this. It does suck, but at the end of the day we shouldn't just be coasting, we should be climbing.

- toomuchtodo 2y agoThese engineers have options and can go elsewhere. Airbus, BAE Systems if they want to head to Europe, lots to pick from in the US [1] [2]. Blue Origin recently let go ~10% of its workforce, or about 1k employees [3]. How many engineers are left out of the remaining ~10k workers, I'm not sure as of this comment, but there is a "shortage" of workers in the industry [4]. Very easy to say "we should be climbing" when it isn't your job, work life balance, etc. What you do is always up to you of course. Those with experience and options are always able to vote with their feet.
