波音飛機事故頻發背後的混亂

(全文翻譯)一位美國人的軼事:

「抱歉各位,但我需要發泄一下……我今天辭去了在波音公司的空氣動力學家的工作。

就差一周就滿十年了。

通往今天的道路始於2021年夏天,當時一個名叫賈馬爾(Jamal- 這是他的真名,各位)的新員工被分配到我的空氣動力學工程部門。在賈馬爾之前,我們空氣動力學部門的每個人都擁有工程和相關科學學位(我是物理學),我們中的一些人擁有碩士學位,我們的領導擁有博士學位。賈馬爾擁有「航空科學工程」學位,我們最終了解到這個學位實際上是工程技術項目中極度、極度、極度水貨版本。

我的部門負責人被他的領導告知,賈馬爾「將成為一名空氣動力學家」,儘管他只接受了該學科的入門級教育(在塔斯基吉大學,基礎空氣動力學是在大三年級教授的)。完全不是平權行動(AA)的聘用,對吧?

在接下來的一年裡,從第一天起我們就讓賈馬爾遠離他完全不理解的關鍵工作。我們只讓他在Excel中進行基本數據輸入。他在各方面對我們來說都毫無用處。

去年5月,就在我們試圖讓賈馬爾被調到另一個部門后不久,我們部門的領導在公司服務了29年後被解僱。他們告訴我們他「提前開始退休了」。雖然這在事實上是準確的,但顯而易見的是,由於我們對賈馬爾的集體關注,我們的老闆被描繪成種族主義者,並被迫離開。因為多樣性。

不到一周后,我們收到了我們的新老闆,「沙妮卡小姐」,她希望我們這樣稱呼她。她甚至不是通過教育或行業成為工程師的。她是一個多餘的數據存檔專家。你們簡直不會相信。

對於那些關注這個的人來說,給你們一個關於她種族的線索,白人、亞洲人和西班牙裔女性不會叫「沙妮卡」,我們也不會隨便讓人用尊稱加上我們的名字。

幾天內,「沙妮卡小姐」,只顧自己的同類,讓『無用的賈馬爾』成為我的項目的團隊負責人,降低了我的職位。我被告知「他贏得了這個機會」。四天後,大約724GB經過MatLab處理的風洞和計算流體動力學(CFD)數據變得無法使用。我們三個人花了一段時間才發現代碼腳本不知怎的搞砸了。最糟糕的是,沙妮卡把我們三個人推到了數據腐敗的前線,完整的書面警告,並給了我們一個修復它的時間表。幸運的是,我們有腳本的副本,並能夠重新處理數據,兩周前完全完成了子項目。

但賈馬爾怎麼樣了?哦,就在我們解決混亂的一周后,他直接從波音公司的企業領導那裡獲得了表揚,「在領導力方面的無與倫比的卓越表現,通過發現數據中的問題並修復它,為公司節省了無數的時間和數百萬美元!」

在這裡,正如他們所說,事情變得有點有趣……
我的一個同事發現了為什麼/怎樣/何時……以及是誰搞砸了一切。不是賈馬爾。而是沙妮卡在自己舒適的家裡(根據IT部門)這麼做的。

是的,沒錯,各位——價值數十億美元的公司知識產權、數千兆位元組的數據,被故意破壞,以明顯的努力來提拔一個沒有受過教育、完全無能的象徵性員工,並讓我們成為壞人。

上周四,在證實這一點后,我們向安全部門、法律部門和高級領導提交了一份完整的報告,附有宣誓聲明和支持證據。我們也知道可能會發生什麼,並相應地做好了準備。

今天午餐后不久,我們(我們三個人)被高級管理層召喚。我們被指控多次「通過言語表達和展示貶低非洲裔美國人的材料,對賈馬爾和我們的『老闆』表現出公然不尊重」,「試圖破壞公司財產」,當然還有「提出虛假投訴」。我們三個人被要求在下班前提交辭職信。我們立即拿出同事們的文件夾,遞上了我們周末準備的辭職信。我們被護送回我們的桌子收拾我們的東西,交回了我們的工牌,然後走了出去。

在平權行動實際上被擊敗不到兩周后,波音公司,這家價值數十億美元的企業,加倍努力。他們真的選擇了兩個沒有受過教育的象徵性黑人,而不是麻省理工學院、加州理工學院和斯坦福大學的畢業生。我們那位因為我們所做的事情而「提前退休」的前老闆,是莫斯科大學的傑出畢業生,在加入波音之前,是俄羅斯中央空氣動力學研究所(TsAGI)的著名和有影響力的工程師。
我知道我們將在適當的時候得到平反,但波音公司無法支付我們足夠的錢讓我們回去。讓他們吃蛋糕吧。

我不太確定我的下一步將是什麼,但我只能說Wow。就是Wow。」

俺還是對這個將信將疑。如果波音公司政治掛帥的話出問題的可就不止大家能看到的這些了。致命的問題肯定有,聽新聞里說阿拉斯加飛門事件是因為一個螺栓鬆了,而且用的是單數,不是複數。一個緊急出口需要封住,只用了一個螺栓固定封門板?!

Anecdote of an American:

"Sorry folks, but I need to vent...I quit my job as an Aerodynamicist at Boeing today.

Just a week short of ten years.

The path to today started back in summer 2021, when a new employee named Jamal (his real name, folks) was assigned to my aerodynamics engineering section. Before Jamal, everybody in aero possessed engineering & related science degrees (physics in my case), some of us had an MS, and our lead held a Ph.D.. Jamal held a degree in "Aerospace Science Engineering", which we ultimately learned was an extremely, extremely, extremely watered down version of an Engineering Technology program.

My department head was told by his leadership that Jamal was "going to be an aerodynamicist", despite having only indoctrination-level exposure to the discipline (basic aero, at Tuskeegee U, is given during the junior year). Totally not an affirmative action hire, right?

In the year the followed, we steadily kept Jamal from the critical work which he proved from day one complete lack of understanding. We had him doing only basic data entry in Excel. He was literally useless to us in every way.

Back in May, shortly after trying to get Jamal reassigned to a different section, our section lead was terminated by the company after serving 29 years. They told us that he "started his retirement early". While this is factually accurate, it was glaringly evident that for stating our collective concern for Jamal, our boss was painted as a racist, and forced out. Because diversity.

Not even a week later, we received our new boss, "Miss Shanika", as she wanted us to address her as. She wasn't even an engineer by education or trade. She was a redundant data archival specialist. You can't make this up.

For those tuned in, to give you a clue to her ethnicity, White, Asian and Hispanic women aren't named "Shanika", nor do we casually tell people to precede our first names with a salutation.

Within days, "Miss Shanika", looking out solely for her own kind, made 'Jamal the Useless' team lead of my project, demoting me. I was told that "he earned the opportunity". Four days later, approximately 724GB of MatLab-processed wind tunnel & CFD data was rendered unuseable. It took three of us to find out that the code s**t somehow got fucked up. The worst part was that Shanika threw the three of us under the bus for the data corruption, complete with written repremands, and given a timeline to fix it. Fortunately, we had a copy of the s**t and was able to reprocess the data, fully completing the sub-project two weeks ago.

But happened to Jamal? Well, just a week after we unfucked the mess, he was given commendation directly from Boeing corporate leadership for "Unparralleled Excellence in Leadership, for going above & beyond by finding a problem in data and fixing it, saving the company untold time and millions in the process!"

Here, as they say, is where it gets kinda interesting...

One of my colleagues found out why/how/when...and who, fucked it all up. It wasn't Jamal. Rather, it was Shanika who did it, from the comfort of her own home (according to IT).

Yeap, that's right, folks- gigabytes worth of data; company intellectual property worth tens of millions of dollars, was deliberately sabotaged in a blatant effort to promote an undereducated, totally incompetent token employee, and make us out to be the bad guys.

Last Thursday, after corroborating this, we tendered a full report to security, legal and senior leadership, complete with sworn statements and supporting evidence. We also knew what could happen, and prepared accordingly.

Shortly after lunch today, we (the three of us) were summoned by senior management. We were accused of multiple accounts of "demonstrating overt disrespect to both Jamal and our 'boss' by way of making verbal statements and displaying materials demeaning towards African-Americans", "attempted sabotage of company property", and, of course, "filing a false complaint". We three were given until close of business to submit our resignations. We immediately reached into our colleagues binder, and handed over the resignation letters we prepared over the weekend. We were escorted back to our desks to gather our belongings, turned in our badges, and walked out.

Less than two weeks after affirmative action was effectively shot down, Boeing, a multi-billion dollar business, doubled down. They literally chose two uneducated token negroids over an MIT grad, a Cal Poly grad, and a Stanford grad. Our former boss who was "retired" for the same thing we did, was a distinguished graduate of the University of Moscow, and before Boeing, was a noted and influential engineer at TsAGI (Central Aero & Hydrodynamics Institute) in Russia.

I know we will be vindicated in due course, but Boeing can't pay us enough to go back. Let them eat cake.

Not too sure what my next steps will be, but all I can say is Wow. Just Wow."

政治正確成為「真理」。真理也就沒有了。蘆笛說: 「所謂「政治正確」已經變得跟大陸的黨宣傳一樣,整個是反的。凡是真知灼見都不「正確」,
