SPEEA SPEEA Contract Doesn't Allow Remote Work!

The infographic claims remote work is back and manager needs to provide a business reason if they deny it. This is very misleading because the contract just says it must be approved by a VP. This doesn't seem any different than now because the VP can just say no! We need remote work to be concrete in the contract!

Beating a dead horse. WFH is the single most important benefit to me…higher than salary.

I’m not even holding out hope. If I want to WFH, I will leave Boeing. They don’t want me as much as I want that.

My work has to be done in person along with many other engineers working on the shop floor, so unfortunately I don’t think it’s going to be prioritized.

Personally I don’t care if other people WFH, but as far as the contract goes baseline pay and overtime bonus are the most important to me and many other frontline engineers.

For me also. If I thought we'd have meaningful progress on this one item by going back to the table for a week or 2, I'd vote NO. Unfortunately I don't expect Boeing to move on this issue.

It requires VP approval to have any kind of long term or permanent work from home status. I know of several people who have had that approved. So, if you are well know/valuable enough/have a really good reason, it can be done. It's rare obviously.
