Boeing's Overstaffed Calendar

The real news

The story, straight

An airplane factory needs enough people to build its planned number of planes. When production rises slower than expected, its staffing plan and its actual workload can stop matching.

Boeing says that mismatch now means a planned 5% reduction in its commercial airplane workforce, CNBC reported on November 9. This concerns the commercial airplane division, not all Boeing employees.

The company says it is still working to stabilize production of its bestselling 737 Max. Slower wing production has also held back its plans.

Boeing's memo describes the resulting position as "overstaffed". The production calendar misses its targets, and somehow the payroll gets detention.

Lil'meme's solution: drag the calendar to the paper shredder. If management wants fewer delays, perhaps start by making November smaller.

The actual reductions will combine attrition and involuntary layoffs. Attrition means reducing staff by not replacing people who leave.

Notifications are expected to begin in December; this announcement does not mean the planned layoffs have already happened.

The useful distinction: a planned workforce reduction is not the same as an immediate round of firings. Watch the notices, not just the headline.

Repost before management puts December on probation.
