波音將進行第二輪裁員

Boeing plans additional job cuts following the 16,000 positions it previously announced would be eliminated as the coronavirus pandemic continues to slash demand for air travel and new planes.
由於新冠疫情持續削減人們對航空旅行和新飛機的需求，飛機制造商波音計劃在此前宣佈裁員1.6萬人的基礎上進行新一輪裁員。

"I truly wish the current market demand could support the size of our workforce," CEO David Calhoun said Tuesday in a note to employees. "Unfortunately, layoffs are a hard but necessary step to align to our new reality, preserve liquidity and position ourselves for the eventual return to growth."
波音首席執行官戴夫·卡爾霍恩8月18日在致員工的一封信中表示：“我真的希望當前的市場需求能夠支持我們的勞動力規模。不幸的是，裁員是艱難但必不可少的步驟，以適應我們的新現實，保持流動性併爲最終的恢復增長做好定位。”

Calhoun didn't say how many more employees Boeing would cut.
卡爾霍恩並未透露波音還將解僱多少員工。

In April, the aircraft builder said it planned to cut 10% of its global workforce of 160,000.
4月，波音稱，計劃在全球裁員10%，即16萬個崗位。

About 5,500 Boeing employees agreed earlier this year to a voluntary buyout.
今年早些時候，約有5500波音員工接受了自願離職買斷工齡要約。

The company then laid off an additional 6,800 workers in May and cut production.
隨後，波音於5月又解僱6800人，並進行減產。

In January, Boeing reported a loss of $636 million in 2019 compared with a profit of $10.46 billion in 2018 - its first annual loss in more than 20 years.
今年1月，波音稱，該公司2019年虧損6.36億美元，這是該公司20多年來首次出現年度虧損。2018年波音盈利104.6億美元。
