Stephanie Pope, head of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, announced in an internal memo to employees on Monday that the division plans to reduce its workforce by 5% to address challenges in ramping up production capacity. Pope stated that, as mentioned in the third-quarter earnings report, the company needs to readjust the pace of production ramp-up to give factories and supply chain partners more time to achieve operational stability. Adjusting the production plan and reducing aircraft output has resulted in current staffing levels exceeding actual demand. The layoffs will be carried out through both natural attrition and involuntary layoffs, with notices to be issued as early as December. In multiple U.S. states, Boeing is required to provide employees with 60 days' advance notice.
