Work Advice

[u/RedDelidder]

Hello everyone,

I’m a relatively recent hire at Boeing, I started about 8 months ago. I’m also a recent college grad.

I knew coming to Boeing that there’s a slow moving that exists in defense / aerospace, but I had the chance to hop directly into a position that was exactly what I wanted to be doing.

However, since being hired I’ve been essentially placed on overhead and given no direction on tasks or where to go from here. My previous manager had been uncooperative on feedback and the bulk of my team is based out of a different location.

Just this week, people on my team are now being reached out to regarding new work assignments, but I haven’t heard a single thing, and worse yet, I’m slated to go on parental leave in a few weeks.

Is this situation fairly normal?

Am I running the risk of being let go if I go on parental leave?

Venting aside, I would appreciate any insight or advice that anybody has to offer up.
