Were there any real justice in the world... then sure
But I think you'll find that no such justice exists in mega-corp money land U.S.A.
a bunch of dead brown people and rampant internal fraud has simply dented the stock (for now)

Yes - but they also live in a world of thin margins where the loss of one sale to Airbus can be rightly considered a catastrophe... especially in the workhorse class of airplanes

They can’t do anything about the punishments the market will deliver

The market might be the only thing that would punish them...
Certainly not our legal system or our government - we're way too far gone for any kind of accountability



Boeing won't even relent to pay taxes
and they're a multi-national so they can't be properly audited



Wheeeee !!!!

This must be what they mean by “free” market and “corporate personhood”.

I know you don’t like facts getting in the way of one of your narratives, but:
“Boeing paid $1.2 billion in federal income tax last year for an effective tax rate of 23 percent. It was the third year in a row when Boeing actually paid income tax as opposed to claiming a refund.”

What about Boeing's 150k employees that pay taxes. Surely Boeing deserves some credit.

Not just pay taxes - but also earn that great “living wage” we keep hearing about

Boeing pays absolute dead middle average for the Seattle Market per job description...



and not a penny more
Except their CEO makes about $15 Mil after his 27% pay raise



But he's special
The Boeing corporate average annual pay raise is something like 2.2 %
unless you're the guy that oversaw the latest disaster then you get a 27% raise

You start at Boeing and stay there your whole life, you will have a very nice retirement.

Simply agreeing with living wage, as jobs that Boeing offers aren't available everywhere.

Why do you ask..?
There are over a 1,000 that hire just software engineers

I heard Seattle salaries are pretty good- I’m relatively sure that being in the middle in Seattle constitutes a living wage

So exactly why should we penalize Boeing? Do their executive salaries take food off my plate? I personally am unconcerned with executive salaries in publicly held companies.

Competition for people who can run large corporations is stiff and it really comes as no surprise that their compensation packages are grotesque. But if we start regulating it because justice or something - I’m pretty sure the cure will have worse effects than the disease

I think the system is broken. CEOs are valuable but not mega-millions per year valuable especially since even the ones who are tripping over their genitals bad are also getting mega-millions. Is the CEO really more valuable than 150 engineers?

There are too many boards made up of CEOs rewarding each other regardless of results or focusing on short-term stock market based results rather than building strong companies that will last. It's incestuous and needs to be fixed. But I'm hoping that the market will somehow fix it. If the government fixes it I'm positive that the cure will be worse than the disease.

Are you sure? I used to work for a Fortune 500 company - 10+ years ago when the longstanding CEO was promoted to the role they were #2 in their primary industry. Now they're #5. He made approximately $19 million last year. The CEO of the company that was and still is #1 made less than 1/2 of that. The CEO in question is a bean counter who made decisions regarding outsourcing and layoffs that were great for the short-term stock price but were not good for building the company for the long-term. The market has rewarded him not fixed him.
