The capacity people have for denial continues to impress me, as usual.
Just going to point out...I was right. Boeing has officially laid off 12,000 employees. All of whom are in Seattle. Why? Because they are localizing their hurt to their travel and business sectors. Not Defense. Not government contracts.
Boeing slashes 12,000 jobs as virus seizes travel industry
Boeing had said it would cut 10% of a workforce that numbered about 160,000. A Boeing spokesperson said Wednesday's actions represent the largest number of job cuts, but several thousand additional jobs will be eliminated in the next few months.
The layoffs are expected to be concentrated in the Seattle area, home to Boeing’s commercial-airplanes business. The company said additional job cuts will be made in international locations, but it did not provide numbers.
Chicago-based Boeing's defense and space division has remained relatively stable, helping offset the decline in air travel and demand for passenger jets.
