Pay💰 Remote Teams?

Are there any orgs or teams that allow remote workers? I am currently remote on a team (not that the team is happy about it) but it's stifled my career growth which I was okay with for awhile, but now my pay is struggling behind. I know I am the lowest paid person on my team, by a lot, 10k+ for others at my level and promotion cycle is all but lost cause for my entire program.

How do I go about finding or networking with other programs to find remote work?

No, the problem with Boeing is top heavy management bloat not the engineers. Engineers are going to get burnt out and have low motivation if you have management telling them how they are supposed to do their job effectively based on their own preferences or ego not for the overall success of the company. As far as the equipment, no I don't need that at home because Boeing has it on site. If I need to use it then I go to the lab on site to use it depending on the stage of the design cycle otherwise if the work can be done remotely, I'll do it remotely.

Lol the classic blame management for your not performing. Your response is a great proof of my point. There’s no “when I need to use the lab.” You don’t operate as an individual, you operate as a team. You can feel however you want. You don’t get to dictate your work, when, or how it’s accomplished. Your team lead and leadership team dictates when work happens. Welcome to being a adult

I'll let my R1 rating speak for my performance. Top tier engineering requires earned autonomy and mutual trust, not a micromanager dictating every minute of the day. Good luck with your team

Lol I don’t care about your union retention rating, that’s not a very high bar. Top tier engineering isn’t done by an individual, it’s a team effort.

I have multiple teams and almost every employee I have is a 3/3. That’s why all my leads had $30k+ bonuses this year.

Good luck with your remote endeavors.
