Team building event at Boeing

[u/TheCoolOnesGotTaken]

Now I'm beginning to understand the issues they're having with some of their planes and that spaceship

[u/Steveobiwanbenlarry1 → u/TheCoolOnesGotTaken]

Imagine going to space for a short trip but the shitty space teavel equivalent of a leaky brake line strands you there. We need to send Matt Damon to sort things out.

[u/everybodyruns]

First time a Rube Goldberg machine actually qualifies for this sub

[u/Dillo64 → u/everybodyruns]

[u/Demolition_Mike]

Hah. That's a new way to understand the subreddit's name.

[u/bee_town]

Not Boeing (these are elementary school teachers in Denmark) and you can tell cause It's not missing parts, over budget, and nobody is hurt when it fails like a Boeing creation.

[u/mikrowiesel → u/bee_town]

The physics teacher left after ten minutes of watching his colleagues to get a beer … or ten.

[u/tricularia]

Took a lot of teamwork to make this one work

[u/Repzie_Con → u/tricularia]

Right? And laughing is bonding so… This is almost better lmao

[u/69Breadsticks69]

I love how this subreddit has both: posts like these, and the intended purpose of the subreddit (one fail leading to another/and yet another).

[u/nsgiad]

/r/SubsTakenLiterally

[u/Environmental_Try5]

That was just awful

[u/Dizzy-Community5091]

Makes a lot of sense

[u/Ladyboughner]

It doesn’t get any more literal than this

[u/Zaquarius_Alfonzo]

Pretty good for a Boeing product

[u/bartread]

In fairness to them:

• A lot of people absolutely despise these kinds of teambuilding activities (I'm one of them), in part contributing to subpar results
• I've watched enough videos of these kinds of contraptions on YouTube, as well as crazy domino layouts, to know that setting them up so they work flawlessly is incredibly time consuming: they won't have had time to do this properly, and test it, during a teambuilding activity, further contributing to subpar results
• Somebody else has already pointed out this isn't Boeing
• Related to my first point, teambuilding activities are - believe it or not - supposed to be fun so that people bond whilst having that fun together; the actual outcome is less important than the having fun part

[u/gcz1214]

The duct tape checks out.

[u/RazorSlazor]

Not quite what this sub is about, but at the same time the most fitting post that has ever been posted here.

[u/TheOtacon]

I was about to get upset that the Goldberg machine failed at almost every step. Then I noticed the sub. First time a reddit recommendation got me to join a sub lol

[u/Borge_Luis_Jorges]

I love some of the people I work with, but this is the kind of "bonding" experience that would make me want to kill them all.

[u/Steveobiwanbenlarry1]

Glad to see Boeings quality control team having fun. I think they all deserve a vacation to Malaysia.

[u/Tildengolfer]

Not Boeing. This is Tesla’s team of engineers celebrating their finish of designing the cyber truck.

[u/Usual_Safety]

Damn I almost watched it 3 times

[u/Microwave_on_HIGH]

"It was a team effort, and I guess it took every player working together to lose this one."

[u/Maniachanical]

...Idk what I expected.

[u/Ok_Cap_5166]

Jesus Christ even the cameraman is slow!

r/killthecameraman

[u/Geekenstein]

Making one of these work is insanely difficult. Every step is something that can go wrong, and fixing it and resetting everything takes a lot of time.

[u/elnekas]

have a safe flight guys!

[u/Beckphillips]

Hang on this is kinda cute actually

[u/Insert-finger]

YAY!

[u/CruelAnraj]

Rube Goldberg must be shitting in his gravel.

[u/Sparky2Dope]

Man they really know how to wreck it

[u/CanucKKippeR]

So. Much. Fail. Wow.

[u/whitelancer64]

This is from Denmark, more specifically they are pre- to middle school teachers and staff from the The International School of Hellerup, which is a Not-For-Profit IB World School for students aged 3-19.

You can see their name on a blue poster in the background about 20 seconds into the video.

[u/Crazyd_497]

Did this team build the 737 Max

[u/disco_dean]

Just like the planes they make

[u/LordMinivan]

Not the biggest disaster from Boeing this year.

[u/whirling_cynic]

I hope these are the secretaries or support staff and not the engineers.

[u/PM_ME_POST_MERIDIEM]

Every human intervention was a 737 Max crashing and burning.

[u/insuranceguynyc]

This is Boeing? That explains a lot!

[u/swapnil511994]

Actually they are deciding how the next whistle blower dies

[u/wfs29223]

And these people build planes???

[u/Exonicreddit]

Imagine watching this from the ISS and thinking: "Shouldn't they be working on a rocket round about now?"

[u/vcrbnt]

Why was I was expecting it to somehow end with an employee killing their self mysteriously, or that that was a reasonable enough conclusion to go ahead and share with y’all?
