ADVERTISEMENT SNIP Stonecipher and his wife, Joan, are well-known contributors to the arts in Seattle and to some colleges, including Tennessee Technical University, his alma mater. So what makes him a mass murderer? I'm guessing that it's because Boeing is such a prominent defense contractor. (Not that I agree with him, mind you.) Yeah, I kinda suspect the same thing but am [for some unexplained reason] curious as to why David made the claim he did. It was an interesting day at work today - yup, I'm a Boeing employee and the reactions were interesting. Some folks were quick to point out the impropriety of a CEO having a relationship with an underling (even if not directly reporting to Harry - we do, oops, did all work for him). While others figured that at his age the fact that he has a wife and an outside relationship is a positive testament to his virility. The true irony is that Harry was brought back from retirement to save Boeing from ruin - partially due to ethical issues at the Board Room level. The original post would seem to be David's "Jump the Shark" defining moment. dxAce Michigan USA |
