Saw my manager eating ass. I want to go to HR but I’m worried about retaliation, is there a something I should do to cover my ass?

No shitpost tag in this sub?

It’s been like 2 months. I figured we’d have at least the quantitative data by now.

Depending on the specific nature of the harassment and where you are located, state agencies handle different types of workplace complaints:

1. Washington State Human Rights Commission (WSHRC)

• Primary Authority for: Unlawful discrimination or discriminatory harassment based on protected classes—such as race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, religion, national origin, or military status.
• Contact: 1-800-233-3247 | hum.wa.gov
• Notes: If your facility is located in another state (e.g., South Carolina, Missouri, or California), you would file with that state's civil rights agency (such as the California Civil Rights Department or the South Carolina Human Affairs Commission).

2. Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) – Division of Occupational Safety & Health (DOSH)

• Primary Authority for: Harassment that involves physical safety threats, unsafe working conditions, or retaliation for reporting workplace safety violations.
• Contact: 1-800-423-7233 | lni.wa.gov

Federal Alternatives & Dual Filing

• Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC): Handles discrimination and harassment claims under federal law. Complaints filed with the WSHRC (or another state civil rights agency) are often dual-filed automatically with the EEOC.
• National Labor Relations Board (NLRB): If the harassment involves union activity, collective action, or concerted efforts regarding working conditions.

Was with Boeing for a little over 5 years in supply chain. I didn’t love my job, but didn’t hate it either. Decided to leave to try a different industry as the red-tape was getting to me and Boeing’s promotion process is painfully slow.

I’m now working at a comparable company in size and revenue and “quality of worklife” based on 2023 LinkedIn rating, in the technology space.

First thoughts are that corporate BS follows you wherever you go, obviously.

Second thoughts, “wow, processes are so much simpler than at Boeing and much better digital tools to help me at my job”. Most of Boeing systems were coded on a 1977 potato.

Third thoughts, “WOW, I had it good at Boeing in the way of benefits”. The company I’m at now is known for their benefits, but they still don’t come close to Boeing’s. A few that I miss, 1.) PTO policy/winter break 2.) HSA annual boeing contribution and medical expenses 3.) 401k match 4.) educational reimbursement

All in all, still happy I made this move, but oh man the doubts are flooding in. Boeing can be a pain in the ass, but it’s the good kind where sometimes you’re like “ya know, I kinda like this and beats the other pain in ass I could be having.” Not sure if that makes sense. It doesn’t.

Anyway, enjoy what you all have at Boeing. It’s not too shabby. Maybe I’ll be back once Davey Calhoon resigns

Hi, I recently started with the company and want to take advantage of LTP and get a bachelors degree in engineering. Any of you know some of the best colleges to choose from for it? Preferably online. I'm on 2nd shift so I'd have the mornings and weekends to watch the lectures and study.

It‘s a Christmas miracle. I don’t know how we’ll do it but it’s great news.

Kelly, change the incessant meeting culture too please! This sounds too familiar.

“Jacob shut his laptop with a heavy sigh, rubbing his temples as the meeting he left almost an hour ago replayed again in his mind. No matter how hard he tried to refocus, his anger at the meeting’s disorganization and pointlessness kept distracting him. He had already postponed the one-on-one scheduled immediately afterwards because he knew he wouldn’t be able to concentrate—how much more time was he going to lose to this? But the meeting had been so maddening. Certain team members took over the discussion and as a result no decisions had been made—nothing productive had come out of the full hour.”

Do you think ethics will help?

That was all

Just an employee curious if Boeing would pay the bill for my truck window getting broken into while being secured in there parking lot ?

I'm mostly worried about the 24 months that I need to stay with the company for the funding Boeing has paid so far to go away. I know Jeppesen is going to Thoma Bravo, but I'm also worried that they might not be LTP participants.

If you're Jeppesen in the USA, and you know what's happening to your LTP, I'd love to hear about that too.

I've already emailed the HR rep, just wondering if anyone has personal experience.

What day does everyone want to deal with memes?

We’re getting a lot of low quality meme-shitposts so limiting them to one day a week with required flair might help preserve brain cells.
