Hello everyone! I'm writing here today seeking help and advice on a very frustrating situation I'm facing with my former employer, The Boeing Company.
To get things started, I was employed at Boeing for over a year and a half, working on various projects related to sourcing old parts for 9 different aircraft and many more that were added later.
I consistently received excellent feedback from colleagues and even played a key role in Boeing securing new contracts.
Unfortunately, I was put on a PIP (performance improvement plan) and eventually terminated due to “lack of performance,” despite having completed all PIP requirements and exceeding expectations in many areas.
The concerns I have:
I have reason to believe the termination was unjust and motivated by factors beyond my control.
My boss, who initiated the PIP and termination, was later fired themselves, suggesting potential issues within the management structure.
I recently attempted to reapply to Boeing but was denied due to being “ineligible for rehire.”
I received no explanation for my ineligibility despite repeated attempts to contact HR and Worklife.
I had multiple interviews at Boeing and was even contacted for further discussions about specific roles. However, out of the blue, I received a blanket email stating I was ineligible for rehire. This lack of explanation and sudden change in status is deeply troubling.
What makes me even more confused about the situation is that:
I have extensive documentation and email trails to support my performance and contributions to Boeing. As well as a conversation with another manager who agreed that the TAT was not achievable.
I have spoken with former colleagues who can vouch for my work ethic and competency.
There were supposed to be one on one meetings with the manager who initiated the PIP, which I attended, but apparently unbeknownst to me HR was hidden in the meetings, and I wasn’t even aware of that.
The work environment was characterized by project managers constantly labeling their projects as “hot,” creating a chaotic and unmanageable workload. This prioritization system ultimately lost its meaning, leaving everyone feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what truly mattered.
Despite juggling numerous “hot” projects, I received minimal support from management. This lack of resources and guidance undoubtedly contributed to the challenges I faced in my role. Which ked up to the PIP.
Any assistance on what should be done is greatly appreciated, given where I currently live, Boeing is one of the only company's that I can apply for a job.
TL;DR
I worked at Boeing for over a year and a half, consistently received positive feedback and helped secure contracts.
I was put on PIP after a new manager took over and was terminated despite exceeding expectations.
I re-applied and got interviews but suddenly got labeled “ineligible for rehire” with no explanation.
The work environment was chaotic with managers constantly labeling their projects as “hot” and no clear priorities.
I am seeking advice on how to address these issues and appeal ineligibility.
