  • I think part of the issue is how business accounting practices work. When you buy a machine, you can call it a capital investment and count its value as an asset. When you hire a person and cultivate them for years, from an accounting perspective their salary is strictly a liability / expense. Even though that person is an asset in every other way, our standard accounting practices don’t reflect that.



  • Does anyone have concrete info on the offer and why it was rejected? Reading between the lines, it sounds like some of the issues were:

    • 24% is a lot, but doesn’t bring them back to where they were 16 years ago when their last general wage deal happened
    • Contract reduces or removes performance incentives, which might reduce take-home pay overall
    • Some employees are mad that their pension was taken away a decade ago
    • They don’t trust Boeing to keep it’s promise about building the next commercial jet in the region

    Anything else?














  • For organizing and searching the files, I’m using paperless-ngx. It’s worked pretty well for these and for scanned documents.

    My issue is getting the PDFs without having to spend time every month manually downloading them.

    All solutions that integrate with banking sites I’ve ever encountered were nothing more but ugly hacks, IMHO.

    Yup. That’s basically what FileThis provided. A maintained set of ugly hacks to pull the files for you automatically :D.
