Boeing is making significant changes to its staff as it confronts ongoing challenges from a major strike and lingering safety concerns. The American aerospace giant announced plans to cut approximately 17,000 jobs "over the coming months", representing about 10% of its workforce.
In a memo to employees, Kelly Ortberg, Boeing's new CEO, emphasized the need of "tough decisions" and "structural changes" to "align with our financial reality". He noted the importance of being "clear-eyed" about the company's recovery timeline. "These reductions will include executives, managers and employees."
