Their behavior with the MAX issue exemplifies their arrogance and greed.
It's pretty disgusting that so many people "in the know" at the company chose to look the other way. Hopefully they are sleeping well at night.

I imagine Boeing will have difficulty with the optics of this one.
Fired Boeing C.E.O. Muilenberg will get more than $60 million - NYT

I agree with your sentiment, but the fact remains Boeing is a behemoth to the commercial aviation and defense sectors of our economy. They need to get their shit together . . .
Unless you really think it's true in which case hopefully you're also writing official reports to highlight these risks.
Look, it's easy to disparage Boeing management but managing large, complex aviation systems isn't easy. It's even harder if you're trying to make money while doing it. It's also very hard to ensure that management understands what risk it's really accepting and that "shit" isn't being turned into "fertilizer" on the way up the chain.

Can you imagine how well a Division would run if the Divo or CPO never went down to the shop, Boeing HQ should have stayed in Seattle
Look, companies like this are entitled to act this way. There is no real accountability. As you can see, Muilenberg, whe, as CEO, was responsible for the death's of 346 people, is walking away with a $60 million dollar payout.
People do not realize that c-level executives, as well as board members, can be personally and individually named in lawsuits along side the company.

Boeing’s new CEO is estimating the Max will return to service the middle of the year.
Right in time for Master’s Upgrade.
Aaaaaand the hits just keep on comin’. Now there’s an issue with FOD in the fuel tanks.

Are you saying that could be an issue? I know a few people in QA at Boeing, I bet things are going to get interesting for them again.......
Inspections for all my friends!
It's kinda a non-sequitur, but this reminds me of the old joke about how to tell the difference between a mechanic's borescope and a medical borescope: one tastes like oil and grease...
Have a buddy who is a FAA inspector. He thinks it won't be too much longer before the Max is cut loose. He has been conducting all the sim certs so training can kick off. Oh, and if it wasn't already clear we didn't have good differences knowledge on the Max, in a 15 min conversation he casually mentioned 3 systems or features I thought were critical and was never mentioned in my now confirmed inadequate B737 Max differences "training". He was shocked we were not instructed on them.
I don't think I said it on this particular forum but soon after the Max scandal really snowballed, I said that this was going to be a case study for both business ethics and engineering ethics for a long time to come- probably just as significant as the Challenger disaster in MBA and BS/MS programs.
I hope you mean shocked as in the figure of speech and that he wasn't truly shocked in a professional sense. (No sarcasm intended here.)
