– Boeing Slashes 10% Of Workforce, CEO Warns “Hard To Overstate The Challenges We Face”:
In what some have called a panic/desperation negotiating tactic, Boeing has announced (late on a Friday afternoon) that it will slash its workforce by 10% as the pummeled planemaker struggles with a cash-crunch amid a drawn-out strike and ongoing quality control (to put it nicely) issues.
In a memo to employees, CEO Kelly Ortberg noted that the reductions will include executives, managers and employees, warning that:
“Our business is in a difficult position, and it is hard to overstate the challenges we face together.”
Boeing ended 2023 with 171,000 employees.
The company said it expects to report third quarter revenue of $17.8 billion, and a loss per share of $9.97, according to preliminary figures.
