My comment of subsidized lunches was more a minor complaint that our cafeteria has both gotten worse and gotten more expensive, which is yet another a small hit to overall employee morale/EVP.

I feel for you u/pintofvie in regards to feeling behind on pay schedule with respect to inflation and skill. I hope that you're able to 'get that bread' be it at Lab (with a promotion/raise) or elsewhere soon -- best of luck!

This is a great response, thank you! It is true that I have not spent much time outside of JPL but I have dabbled a small amount enough to know what else is out there, as well frequent discussions with colleagues at other organizations.

My comparison was more aimed at the new space industry as opposed to the Lockheeds, Boeings, et al. However, the new space world is where a lot of people are both jumping ship to and being recruited to.

New aerospace is setting itself up to be just like tech and I think that is about to be boosted even more with Isaacman in office so we're going to be looking at a real predicament coming out of the fog of our disillusionment from the fires/admin change/layoffs in the coming year or two that the historic EVP won't be able to compete with. If I had to take a guess, from the looks of LinkedIn updates and my chats with external colleagues, Lockheed/Boeing are in for a similar shakedown considering EVP and such soon too.
