This isn't cute or heartwarming. Engine cylinders only do this when they're very distressed.

What’s funnier is that Spirit is currently valued at $3.3 billion. Boeing sold it to Onex corp in 2005 for $1.5 billion or roughly $2.37billion with inflation.

Spirit Aerosystems' stock has doubled since september, this just going to cement every company that is a single supplier of something to adopt the "gently caress this up until our clients are forced to buy us out" business model

shame on an IGA posted:Spirit Aerosystems' stock has doubled since september, this just going to cement every company that is a single supplier of something to adopt the "gently caress this up until our clients are forced to buy us out" business model The best part is all the companies who have moved to sole-source to cut the costs of dealing with multiple suppliers. AB Inbev did an ad featuring one of their two suppliers for the beechwood chips they dump i to barrels to add an illusion of flavor to Budweiser. A couple months later they cut that supplier out entirely because the other was a few pennies cheaper.

Some chucklefuck gets into a position and starts making changes for the sake of making changes in effort to be noticed and climb the corporate ladder. I see the results of crazy, unbelievably short sighted decisions like that every single day. And the worst part is that the always cost way more money than they supposedly save but spin everything as a positive due to said changes.

slidebite posted:Corporate exec brain worms. The company I work for got poisoned with a group of these dipshits from another aerospace company. They came in on the back of massively cutting costs* while increasing production*. And they almost tanked our entire company because their only idea of leadership is flailing around implementing bizarre and stupid policies to try to pad their resumes. They almost all got purged last year, and it's been really refreshing returning to a normal level of executive dipshittery. *cut quality so much that customers were returning entire lots of their product.
