Yes, it appears to be the case: https://www.al.com/breaking/2011/03/...ense%20program.

Argh! I didn't even look at the date.

Hope what the OP heard is not true in that case. Boeing seems pretty well grounded here, given their location at the gateway to Redstone Gateway.

Boeing has been here over 60 years and have had multiple layoffs and expansions during that time.
They are the largest aerospace company in Alabama and employ over 3000.

I have a few friends employed there and it seems to be a pretty significant reorg with a bunch of senior management out and an out of state crew brought in to supervise things. Not much reassurance of continued employment for the young, relatively new hires. Shame the communication to the most valued asset appears to be lacking.

Not to take up for the corporate world but these days it is a two way street. There is no loyalty from either side. Corporations lay people off or delete positions and terminate people on a whim.....even when they have been with the company for 20 years. On the other side, the younger generations will quit and take another job every six months if they can get a little more salary and some are never around long enough to ever become productive.

About the only advice I can give someone working in the corporate environment these days is stay sharp, keep your resume up to date and you best keep your credit score up because you may need to move for a job at any time.

I was aware there was an All-Hand meeting there yesterday with some pretty senior & executives, including the Huntsville Site Manager. Nothing was mentioned about lay-offs. In fact, the Site Manager sounded positive about the future.

I hate to say this, but with wars breaking out all over the place one who benefits are the Defense Contractors Boeing included. So I'm inclined to believe the future looks good.
