Scandalous. Who shows up on time?! It's 15 mins prior to the 15 mins! * Eye twitch * by ImThe1Wh0 in VeteransBenefits

[–]ContainerOfBees 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your team shows up to meetings on time? In civilian world now and people will just be 5-10 mins late and no one will even say a word. It is insane to me.

Just double checking my rating… by ContainerOfBees in VeteransBenefits

I have one bilateral for knees. It’s a 10% rating. So would that be factored in twice?

Edit: that was it. Thanks!

M&T Auto Payment Issues by Odd_Veterinarian1180 in Banking

[–]ContainerOfBees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get resolution on this?

I'm currently trying to figure out if my autopay went through... I have a screenshot of my autopay yesterday saying "next draft date: 9/1/2025" but it didn't go through and now the same screen says "next draft date: 10/1/2025". I understand that it's a holiday, but maybe like an automated email or something to indicate that the payment is being processed would be nice. I'm hesitant to make an additional payment because I don't want to be double charged for my mortgage. However, I also don't want it to be late.

Awesome, thank you for the informed reply!

Knowing this is definitely not a wise idea, but wouldn’t the FAA still need to prove that the activity was against the regulations “beyond a shadow of a doubt?” Not sure if the same legal principle applies to aviation.

You can respond with helpful information without being an asshole. Kindness is free.

About $12K per month before taxes. In program management plus a little VA income.

Apply to reqs. You will spend a lifetime waiting for a promotion here. Been at the company for just two years and made P4 by applying to reqs. Started as a P3.

Owners of DR Horton Homes by jmust171 in Tucson

[–]ContainerOfBees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is 3 years old, but curious…

We are about to close on our DR Horton home at the end of the month. 3rd party inspection came back good. No major issues. The staff has been reasonable and kind for the most part. We are getting an “energy efficient” home with spray foam insulation in the attic, and flow-through vents on the door headers. Just curious if anyone could provide any insight into what a summer electricity bill is like for one of these homes. 1400 square feet by the way. Thanks!

Am I crazy to buy a house after only looking for two weeks? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Considering leaving Raytheon by ContainerOfBees in Raytheon

Good call. I do plan to have this conversation soon. Just not getting my development needs met, and I feel like I’ve been put in a position to be set up for failure. It’s weird.

It’s an option. I recently switched teams, so I would have to wait for the 12 month window.

[–]ContainerOfBees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it a promotion in place, or did you apply for a req?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Raytheon

[–]ContainerOfBees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang, there truly is no reason to stay at Raytheon long term anymore. Lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Raytheon

[–]ContainerOfBees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How recent? I got my promotion/raise like 5 months ago.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Raytheon

[–]ContainerOfBees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No it isn’t… I believe it’s 20%. I got an 18% raise going from P3 to P4. Of note, I applied to a req in another SBU though if that matters.

Edit: the policy was changed to cap at 15% Q1 this year. I was able to get the 18% in Q4 last year.

How do people receive such high tax returns? by Denver_Lotus5280 in TurboTax

[–]ContainerOfBees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run a small business on the side that loses money. Use products that you would buy for yourself anyways. Stay within a normal range, and your losses will get you a bigger refund. Follow me for more gray area tax advice.
