Free Download Leon Grunberg, "Emerging from Turbulence: Boeing and Stories of the American Workplace Today"
English | ISBN: 1442248548 | 2015 | 206 pages | AZW3 | 389 KB
The book looks at workers in three stages of their careers early career, midcareer, and retirement, sheds light on generational differences in the workplace, and addresses issues such as job training and work moving overseas. Long-time employees reminisce fondly about the family and engineering culture of Heritage Boeing and many are sad and angry about the new, financially driven ethos brought in by the McDonnell Douglas executives after the merger. Newer, younger employees, with no direct memory of Heritage Boeing and more individualistic attitudes, accommodate themselves more easily to the new Boeing.

Written by a senior air traffic controller, this book tells the story of the Boeing 747, the original "Jumbo Jet", describing how it came about due to Boeing’s loss of a US Air Force competition for a new outsized transport aircraft (won by the colossal Lockheed Galaxy) and revolutionized world travel after its introduction in 1969, effectively sealing the fate of the once-dominant ocean liner.
