Seattle Times has a new report on how Boeing's current challenges can be traced to prioritizing shareholders over everything for 25 years, slashing costs and outsourcing key work, weakening unions, and pressuring suppliers, leading to loss of its core competency.

This is a great example of how the stock market rewards short term thinking leading to companies sabotaging themselves. Intel is in the same boat.

@carnage4life I’d argue was in the same boat but course corrected in time by naming Gelsinger as CEO
(Doesn’t mean he can fix it all in time though)
