    non-competitive pay and retention problems apply to their engineers too

    Bruhh this is how it is pretty much everywhere… The thing is even if the employee is competent there are but so many times being told your labour ain’t shit, you don’t deserve money for it … How many times of no raise will a good worker take before either changing jobs or just doing work that the wages covers.

    About time these" leadership" got exposed for their looting

      Oh, agreed. And partially why I mentioned Boeing getting smeared in the news in my statement too. Pay means a lot but it’s not everything. Good managers and work a person can be proud of goes a long way.

      Space industry attracts a ton of passionate people who would stick around to do cool things for mediocre pay. But not if the pay gets too low and/or when the work is not something to be proud of.

      E g., I’ve already got a mediocre paycheck, why accept a mediocre paycheck and the grief of a worsening reputation. Someone currently at Boeing for mediocre pay can find another mediocre job elsewhere but it will still be better because the new company isn’t getting dragged in front of Congress for killing people to save money.
