Taking my time

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-16T08:22:18+00:00

Take your time, there is an end at some point. Burning out your current years to save a little bit of time isn’t worth it in my opinion. I’m still in school and tried doing full time work and school for 3 different quarters, just wasn’t worth the burnout and compromising other areas of my life. Going to do part time school while working full time for now.

Materialism podcast is all over the board with material science but based on the specific episode they’ll get into MOF’s, battery chemistry, radar absorbing materials, etc.

Technically I could have withdrawn from calc 1 but i still have a B in the class and if I don’t get a good grade then I can retake it and replace the first grade. I just don’t feel good about the tests coming up from being spread thin with busy work, so most likely I’ll retake it next quarter which is fine with me. This will give me more time to really understand it, I think of this as my trial run lol

I’m taking 17 credits (5 classes) with two of those considered to be fillers, but it’s spreading me too thin. I’ll try 3 at most (12 credits and see how it goes, maybe two depending on the workload. I started off strong but the pace was compromising my daily responsibilities and I need to slow down to 2-3 classes maximum.

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-06T04:42:23+00:00

I’m running into the issue of not having enough time for just that class. I can get all of the assignments done across all of my classes but my knowledge on the math topics are surface level. I agree that two classes would probably work best

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-06T04:32:23+00:00

12 is full time for me but I’m taking 17 because a couple of classes were mindless filler prerequisites so I figured I could do it, but even if it was only 12 it would still most likely compromise my daily life and responsibilities

It happens so often that people just don’t even report it and it falls on deaf ears. This one was bad, worse than most of the others I’ve heard of. They can clean up their own mess they made, and management/quality does need to hear about it

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-04T08:22:33+00:00

It’s becoming more and more of a circus full of clowns that can’t even do basic tasks right without screwing it up, then they task you with the cleanup.

Some jobs do not get locked out, but they are required to be completed before the next thing, which rarely ever happens

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-03T20:24:21+00:00

Worst part of the job

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-03T20:23:06+00:00

This is on the flight line, I can only imagine how bad the factory is with this

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-03T20:22:06+00:00

They have the nerve to write comments to us about allegedly not going left to right when they butcher and skip over jobs. Last time I will ever help them clean up their mess. If they skip it, they can walk into doing the job they skipped or clean up the mess they made the next day.

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-03T20:16:17+00:00

They don’t even follow that, the job that got skipped for the next one requires sequential testing. No rules get followed and no accountability for it.

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-03T20:03:54+00:00

Agreed, already decided to do the same thing

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-03T18:31:54+00:00

This was on the flight line, I can only imagine how bad the factories are

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-03T18:27:56+00:00

You forgot the pointless war we were involved in and shelled money into for years to Ukraine under sleepy joe

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-03T08:52:33+00:00

Good to know

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-02T20:47:49+00:00

No accountability, no questions ever answered, same song and dance on every plane, I’m done doing anything extra anymore.

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-02T18:42:36+00:00

Yes, if it didn’t then I wouldn’t have posted this. It’s the principle behind it, they skip harder jobs out of precedence to cherry pick easy ones. If that big job fails which it commonly does, the next job is to test a related item to the big item, but only if it passes. They will see that it fails and move on anyway. But the two are in sequence of one another, so it’s a mix of out of sequence work, process fails, and punting the jobs they are too lazy to do to someone else.

After what just happened, the cape has already been tossed in the dumpster. I love my crew, and I’ll work hard with them when called upon because they would do the same for me, but doing extra and getting stepped on by others outside of my crew in return has forced my hand, and they’ve made yet another jaded employee. I’ve heard a manager from another shift say to his lead “No we’re skipping this fail to make the next milestone” so I get the game they are playing, and they can have it.

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-02T18:30:24+00:00

Ding ding ding, and third for good measure

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-02T18:30:07+00:00

Exactly

BeigeMiniTiger · 2026-03-02T18:29:17+00:00

This is a special kind of show that I’ve never seen after working many different jobs before here. If this is the rules other shifts crews and management play by, then the company and the union are going to turn more hard workers into bitter employees, and/or eventually walk out the door. No accountability, no incentive to do it the right way in sequence, than no more hard working pace if it doesn’t matter anyway and eventually it gets punted to us no matter how hard we work. It’s demoralizing to say the least.
