So, Boeing has to lay off 438 (union) workers to “reset its workforce levels to align with our financial reality,” says new CEO Kelly Ortberg (“Boeing issues layoff notices to 400-plus workers,” Nov. 18). By the end of next year, Ortberg could make a paltry $22 million after outgoing CEO Dave Calhoun made $33 million.
How many executives are being laid off? Zero?
Don’t cry for Boeing; cry for the laid-off workers who actually produced a tangible product. The rich get richer — that’s business, the good old American way!
