Is anyone actually staying? The vibe in the office is dead.

I walked into the office today and it felt like a ghost town. With another 178 gone in NOLA and the constant chatter about outsourcing finance and accounting roles overseas, it’s getting impossible to focus. We’re losing institutional knowledge at a rate I’ve never seen in my career. People are packing boxes, half the meetings are canceled, and the ones that do happen are just awkward silence because nobody knows who’s going to be left to actually execute the project next month. How are you guys handling the day-to-day? I feel like I’m just staring at the clock waiting for a calendar invite titled 'meeting to discuss your future' to pop up. It’s hard to justify putting in any real effort when the leadership is just hacking away at the headcount to please Wall Street. Are you guys quiet-quitting or just trying to finish up and bounce? I'm honestly checked out at this point.

NOLA site closure: Anyone have clarity on the severance packages?

Saw the WARN notice drop for the New Orleans Gentilly facility. 178 of us are officially on the chopping block come April 18th. It feels like the slow bleed just never ends with this company. I’ve been here for over six years, and honestly, the uncertainty is worse than the actual news. Does anyone know if they are honoring the usual package for this round, or are they stripping back benefits as the losses continue to pile up? I’ve seen some folks in other departments saying they got a decent cushion, but given the current state of the balance sheet, I’m worried they’re going to pull a bait and switch. I’m already hitting the job boards, but the market for our specific niche is looking pretty grim right now. If anyone has internal info or a link to the updated policy docs for the 2025 cycle, I’d appreciate a heads-up. Good luck to everyone else waiting for the other shoe to drop.

The 'restructuring' is getting exhausting

Is it just me, or does every single All-Hands meeting lately feel like we’re being gaslit? They keep talking about 'right-sizing' and 'optimizing the workforce' while the morale in my department has hit an absolute floor. It’s impossible to focus on actual engineering work when you spend half the day wondering if your team is next on the list. Between the rumors of more offshoring in finance and accounting and these staggered site layoffs, the culture is completely shot. I’m honestly just putting in my hours and checking LinkedIn at this point. If you’re still here and feeling burned out, just know you aren't the only one. This place isn't what it was five years ago, and I’m not sure it’s ever coming back.

New Orleans site hit: 178 more folks gone in April

Just saw the WARN notice for the New Orleans facility on Old Gentilly Road. It looks like 178 positions are officially getting the axe come April 18th. It feels like the death by a thousand cuts continues while management keeps pushing that 'stabilization' narrative. I’ve got friends in that office who have been there for over a decade, and now they’re just another line item on a spreadsheet to help the quarterly numbers. Is anyone actually hearing anything substantial about the long-term plan for the smaller sites, or are we all just waiting for our own WARN notice to pop up in the system? It feels like nobody is safe, regardless of how essential they think their program is. Really sorry to everyone caught up in this batch.

Anyone else prepping for the worst-case scenario?

Losing sleep over here. The news cycle about Boeing lately hasn't been exactly reassuring. Between the supply chain issues, the Starliner delays, and frankly, just the general feeling of unease, it feels like we're in a precarious position. I know there haven't been official announcements of mass layoffs, but the whispers are getting louder. I've started updating my resume and discreetly networking, just in case. Anyone else doing the same? It's hard to focus when you're constantly worried about job security. Feels like we're holding our breath. What are your thoughts on the current situation and potential outcomes?

Is anyone else feeling the squeeze at Boeing? Hiring freeze?

Hey all, been at Boeing for a few years now, and things are starting to feel a bit weird. My team's been told hiring is on hold for the foreseeable future, and there's been zero movement on internal transfers. Usually, there are always some opportunities popping up, but it's been crickets for months. I've heard some chatter about budgets being tightened across the board, and it's making me a little nervous. Anyone else seeing this? Is this just a seasonal thing, or is something bigger brewing? Trying not to read too much into rumors, but the silence is deafening. Curious if others in different divisions are experiencing the same.

Anyone else experiencing a slowdown in project staffing or internal mobility?

Lately, it feels like my team's hiring process has completely stalled. New requisitions are moving slower than molasses, and even internal transfers are getting put on hold indefinitely. It's not just my department, either. I've heard from colleagues in other areas that they're seeing the same thing. It's making me a bit nervous, especially with all the talk about automation and efficiency driving changes in the industry. I'm wondering if this is a precursor to something bigger, or if it's just a temporary slowdown. Anyone else in a similar boat? Trying to understand if this is a company-wide trend or if I'm just in a particularly stagnant corner. Any insights would be appreciated.

Hearing whispers about potential workforce adjustments at Boeing?

Hey everyone, I've been seeing a lot of chatter online and hearing some murmurs within my network about potential "workforce adjustments" coming down the pipeline at Boeing. Nothing concrete, no official announcements, but the talk seems to be getting louder. Some posts mention specific departments, others talk about broader cuts. It feels like the kind of environment where these things can happen, especially with the current market and recent events. Has anyone else picked up on anything similar? Trying to gauge if this is just noise or if there's some smoke behind the rumors. Curious if anyone has any firsthand intel or has noticed a change in team dynamics or project scope that might indicate something brewing.

Is anyone else seeing a hiring freeze or reduction in new requisitions?

I work in recruiting/HR (anonymized, of course) and the number of new requisitions being approved has dropped off a cliff over the past month. We're still filling critical roles and backfilling some departures, but the proactive hiring and expansion plans that were in place seem to have been put on indefinite hold. Managers are being told to justify every single headcount request, and even then, approvals are taking ages. It feels like the taps are slowly being turned off. Anyone in other departments noticing fewer new hires coming onboard, or even a slowdown in onboarding processes? Wondering if this is a company-wide thing or just specific to my area.

Rumors of restructuring at Boeing - anyone have concrete info?

Hey everyone. I've been hearing a lot of chatter around the different sites lately, and it's making me nervous. It's not just the usual 'end of year budget cuts' talk. Seems like there are some bigger organizational changes brewing. I've heard mentions of certain programs being scaled back or even shelved entirely, and a lot of departments are suddenly being asked to 'optimize' their headcount. My gut feeling is something more significant is coming down the pipeline, beyond just normal attrition. Has anyone actually seen official comms or received direct notifications about upcoming changes? Trying to get a clearer picture beyond the speculation.

Heard whispers about project eliminations?

Okay, this is purely speculative, but I've been hearing some pretty concerning rumors filtering down about certain projects being put on indefinite hold or even outright canceled. It's not the big, headline-grabbing programs, but smaller R&D initiatives and support functions. The justification, as I understand it, is all about 'focusing resources' on core production and meeting delivery targets. One person I spoke to, who is closer to program management, mentioned that the 'cost-benefit analysis' for some of these peripheral projects isn't looking good anymore. They weren't explicitly told about layoffs tied to this, but when projects get axed, people usually follow. Has anyone else heard anything similar? Trying to gauge if this is a widespread internal shift or just isolated incidents. It's tough to get clear info these days.

Anyone else noticing increased 'efficiency' discussions?

Hey all, been at Boeing for a few years now, and lately, there's been a lot of talk about 'optimizing processes' and 'driving efficiency.' HR sent out a company-wide email last week about 'streamlining operations for future growth,' which felt a bit buzzwordy. On top of that, I've overheard a few managers in my department talking about how certain roles could be 'consolidated' or 'made redundant' by new software implementations. It's not just my team, either. A buddy in engineering mentioned similar chatter about automation potentially impacting some design roles. No official word on layoffs, but the vibe feels... off. It's making me nervous, especially with how things have been going in the industry generally. Anyone else picking up on this? Is this just standard business speak, or is there something more concrete brewing?

Are performance reviews suddenly harsher?

So, performance review season just wrapped up and honestly, it felt different this year. Usually, it's pretty standard, maybe a few areas for improvement. But this time around, it felt like everyone was getting nitpicked. Even people who consistently hit their targets seemed to be getting 'needs improvement' in unexpected areas. It's got me wondering if this is a way to start building a case for potential cuts down the line, even if they haven't announced anything yet. Seems like a lot of managers are suddenly becoming extremely critical. Anyone else experiencing this, or am I just paranoid because of all the general industry noise? Feels like they're clearing the decks quietly.

Internal Shuffle / Reorgs - Any word on what's next?

Been hearing a lot of whispers about internal restructuring across various departments. Nothing concrete, no official announcements about layoffs, but people are definitely feeling the unease. Seems like some teams are expanding while others are shrinking or getting absorbed. I'm in engineering, and our project pipeline looks solid, but there's a general sense of 'waiting for the other shoe to drop'. My manager is tight-lipped, just says 'focus on the current deliverables'. Anyone else picking up on these internal shifts? Wondering if this is a precursor to something bigger, or just standard corporate musical chairs. Trying not to panic, but it's hard when the vibe is so uncertain.

Rumors of outsourcing impacting roles at Boeing?

Heard some chatter through the grapevine about certain functions, particularly in back-office roles like finance and admin, potentially being outsourced. Some folks are linking this to the idea of future layoffs, even if nothing's confirmed. It's not just speculation either; I've seen some posts on other platforms mentioning similar concerns, though they're often vague. Has anyone in these areas seen or heard anything concrete? Is this a real trend happening or just fear-mongering? Trying to understand if it's worth updating the resume or if this is just noise.

Anyone else seeing increased workload despite no official layoffs?

Been at Boeing for a few years now, and lately, things feel... weird. We haven't had any official layoff announcements, which is good, but my team's workload has gone through the roof. People are leaving for other opportunities, and instead of backfilling, they're just distributing the work among the remaining folks. It feels like they're trying to squeeze every last drop out of us before any potential cuts, or maybe it's just a precursor. Anyone else experiencing this? Is this a company-wide thing or just my department? Trying to gauge the pulse of the company without being able to talk to anyone officially.

Boeing's financial outlook and potential job cuts

With Boeing's recent financial reports not exactly painting a rosy picture, and the ongoing supply chain issues plaguing the industry, I'm getting increasingly worried about job security. I know there haven't been official announcements of widespread layoffs, but the constant talk about 'restructuring' and 'efficiency improvements' makes me nervous. I've seen some departments absorb cuts already, and if things don't turn around quickly, I can see them going for a larger headcount reduction. Has anyone been through something similar at Boeing before? What's the typical pattern when the company faces these kinds of headwinds? Just trying to prepare myself mentally and practically for what might be coming.

Hey everyone. Been seeing a lot of chatter around the water cooler lately about a potential hiring freeze at Boeing, especially in the engineering and supply chain departments. Some folks are saying it's a precursor to something bigger, like layoffs. I haven't seen any official word yet, but it feels a bit ominous, especially with the general market uncertainty and all the news about the aerospace sector facing challenges. Anyone else hearing similar things or have any concrete info? Trying to get a sense of the mood and if I should be updating my resume just in case. This silence from management is what's really getting to me. Feels like they're waiting for the right moment to drop the axe.

Is the automation/AI talk at Jeppesen a sign of things to come for Boeing?

Read an article today about Jeppesen's CEO mentioning automation and AI as drivers for their recent job cuts. It got me thinking about the wider Boeing picture. We all know the aerospace industry is constantly pushing for efficiency, and tech advancements are a huge part of that. While it's one thing to hear about it in a subsidiary or a specific division, it makes me wonder if this is a broader trend that will hit Boeing directly. Are they looking to streamline operations by replacing roles with tech, especially in areas like data analysis, back-office functions, or even some engineering support? It's a bit unsettling to think about, especially if it's happening without significant public announcements. Just trying to connect the dots and prepare myself for any potential shifts.

Anyone else hearing whispers about headcount reduction at Boeing?

Seeing a lot of chatter online, especially on some of the tech/finance forums, about potential layoffs at Boeing. Some are talking about specific departments like finance and IT being targeted for outsourcing. I haven't seen any official word or WARN notices, but the volume of discussion is making me nervous. My team hasn't gotten any direct communication, but the general mood here is definitely on edge. Feels like the calm before a storm, you know? Trying to stay focused on my work, but it's hard not to think about what might be coming. Anyone in a similar boat or heard anything more concrete from inside the company?

Severance package questions if the worst happens...

Okay, so nothing concrete has been announced, but the rumors are swirling, and the general mood around here is pretty anxious. I've been at Boeing for about 4 years, working as a senior analyst in finance. If layoffs do happen, I want to be prepared. Does anyone have experience with Boeing severance packages from past events? What's typically included? Is it based on years of service? Does it include extended health benefits or outplacement services? I've been trying to research this but haven't found much specific to Boeing. Any insights would be super helpful, even if it's just general advice on what to expect or ask for.

Anyone else feeling the quiet before the storm at Boeing?

Been with Boeing for about 7 years now, mostly in engineering on the defense side. Lately, it's been so quiet. Like, eerily quiet. My team hasn't gotten any new project assignments in weeks, and the usual 'let's plan for next quarter' meetings are being pushed back. My manager is being super vague, just saying 'we're re-evaluating priorities.' I've heard whispers from colleagues in other departments, especially some of the older contract folks, about not having their contracts renewed. It feels like something is brewing, and frankly, the uncertainty is worse than knowing. Anyone else in a similar boat? What's the vibe on your floor?

Seriously considering jumping ship - this place is a mess!

I'm so done. Been at Boeing for 12 years, and it's just a constant cycle of reorgs, cost-cutting, and general chaos. The 'stairway' initiative? A joke. My team is constantly understaffed, and the pressure to deliver is insane. My mental health is in the toilet. Honestly, the only thing keeping me here is the (relatively) decent pay and benefits. But I'm starting to think it's not worth it anymore. Anyone else feeling this way? I'm seriously considering just throwing in the towel and finding something less soul-crushing. I'm in supply chain, btw. Thinking about moving into project management, somewhere, anywhere, that doesn't feel like this.

Severance package - what to expect?

Okay, hypothetical question (but also maybe not so hypothetical, given the current climate). What does Boeing typically offer in terms of severance? I'm a level 4 engineer in BCA, been with the company for 5 years. Trying to get a sense of what I might be looking at if the worst happens. Is it weeks per year of service? Is there continued healthcare? Any info is appreciated. Also, any tips on negotiating a better package? Never been through this before and feeling pretty anxious.

I'm hearing rumblings about a potential Reduction In Force (RIF) in Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS). I'm on the engineering side, specifically working on some of the satellite programs. Been here for almost 8 years and honestly, the last few have been... shaky. Anyone else hearing similar things in their departments? Specifically curious about people in Phantom Works. My manager clammed up when I asked directly, which makes me think something is definitely brewing. Just trying to mentally prepare myself, you know?

Just freaking RANTING... So tired of the uncertainty!

I am so DONE with this constant anxiety! Seriously, every quarter it's the same freaking song and dance. Layoff rumors, cost-cutting initiatives, 'restructuring'...it never ends! I've been with Boeing for 5 years, in the IT department, and I feel like I'm constantly walking on eggshells. You can't plan your life, can't invest in your future, because you're always wondering if you'll have a job next month. The higher-ups rake in millions while the rest of us are stressed out of our minds. I know I should probably update my resume, but honestly, I'm just too exhausted. Just needed to vent. Thanks for listening (or reading, I guess).

Hypothetically speaking, if Boeing were to announce layoffs, what kind of severance package could a person with 12 years at the company expect? I'm in supply chain and heard some concerning things from a friend in HR. Never been laid off before so I'm totally clueless. Number of weeks based on tenure? Continued benefits?
