Another Boeing CEO resigns amid scandal

That is just horrible!

Consensual relationships between two adults should be against the law! Resign? The guy should be thrown into the brig.

/sarcasm

Is this really a huge deal worthy of a thread?

Yes it is. This is what you get with the "Moral" Republicans.

I'm glad to see that at least they eat their own every now and again. :laugh: :thumbsup:

 
The company said she did not report directly to him and that the relationship was consensual and had no effect on the conduct of Boeing's business. But it said the relationship violated Boeing's code of conduct.

Guess that about sums it up.

STFU. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW? NOTHING.

What the hell do I know? I worked at Boeing for 3 yrs in Everett before I moved on to greener pasture, have you? You are the one who needs to STFU.

First they had a morally corrupt CEO Condit and a convicted felon CFO Sears, now the new CEO Stonecipher got himself in trouble with an improper relationship. If that's not great leadership, then I don't know what is!

So what exactly do you do now that's so much greener than Boeing?

Awwwww look at the Republicans trying to defend their Companies, how touching

Coming from the "it's just a blowjob" camp. :roll:

And this coming from the "It's just 150,000 dead or wounded." :roll:

And this coming from the "Iraq was not a threat to US National Security" camp. :roll:

The ethical behavior of our leaders and the harsh realities of combat are two seperate and distinct issues.

The hypocracy of defending one leader for a certain behavior while criticizing another is relevant to this topic.

I didn't condone Clinton's actions and were quite critical of them. You and all your diseased-minded ilk CANNOT and WILL NOT admit that your President LIED to you and started a WAR.

I do not support Bush or his management of this war...I believe there were justifications for taking out Saddam, but not the ones this Administration provided...I never bought into the WMD argument, nor did I see a link between Iraq and the WOT...however, I am also not so foolish as to pass judgment on a situation that continues to evolve, and the success or failure of which has yet to be determined.

You and all your like minded ilk cannot see past George Bush, which is why George Bush is still our President.
 
They probably used it as an excuse. Needed a reason to fire him. If Boeing was still the dominating aircraft maker it was a few years ago, this wouldn't have happened.

That's not the issue at hand, have you worked at Boeing? Do you know what's going on? If you haven't, then you should STFU.

But to answer your question, I guarantee you that I make more money than you. Are you happy now?

We have a winner!

Can't find the link, but the board has probably been looking for an excuse since Boeing lost that 7 billion dollar contract to Airbus for some German airline (not lufthansa).

Stonecipher said they reorganized the sales department after they lost the sale. So, the CEO was not aware of how negotiations were going (that lasted months) for a 7 billion dollar deal???

Anyone feel sorry for Stonecipher ?
I hope that he doesn't starve on the pitance he'll be receiving . . . .

Stonecipher will get the normal retirement package to which he would have been entitled with no additional payments to encourage his resignation, Platt said. But he did not detail the amount of severance or separation pay he will receive.
Boeing's most recent proxy statement showed that Stonecipher had a base pay of $1.5 million as CEO, and annual incentives equal to up to 120 percent of base pay, or an additional $1.8 million.
On top of that he had already started to draw $631,000 a year in pension payments during his first retirement from the company, pension payments he continued to receive even as he was being paid to be CEO. That annual pension payment will increase slightly due to his additional year of service to the company.
The Boeing biography of Stonecipher said that he is married, with two children and two grandchildren


So with the 'Big Three' Stonecipher, Condit, and Sears (the ones that made the McDonnell Douglas takeover by Boeing happen), all gone - who's thinking about all the hundreds, even thousands, of people from both companies that were displaced, or just plain dumped - so this coalition of the swindling could reap/rape the McBoeing Company for their own personal gains?

Those hard working people that were so proud to have made the companies the Giants of the Aerospace Insudtry, must be pretty happy with the dregs that the company has become after their sweat equity, and watching these crooks take more money per year for themselves that they earned in 20 - 30 years of real work.

Ahrrr, there be Pirates here, matey.
 

I see nothing wrong with having a personal relationship with someone at my workplace. I've known great marriages that resulted from this. Unless there is something wrong, like she assisted him in cooking books, laundering money, stealing, etc., etc., etc. what is the problem here? As long as both do their job and do it effectively and not let the relationship interfere with their job then so what?

Boeing is a good company and I feel the news on this is making it out to be much more than it really is. Must have been another slow news day. Instead of seeking something positive in the news, you trump on someone's personal sexual affair.
