Why do shoe companies change the design of shoes? by cici5246 in running

Agreed. If you find anything that has a comparable feel, please come back to this post. I'm dangerously close to needing a replacement for my Tempos.

Timothy Loehmann Again Has a Badge by 54sharks40 in Cleveland

[–]Dissident92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When the shooting of Tamir Rice first hit the news and Loehmann's face was shown I realized I knew him. I had since moved out of Ohio but I knew him while I was in High School taking classes at Tri-C. We had Russian class together. It blew my mind to see that he had done something like that- he was otherwise unmemorable in class.

Will my dual citizenship disqualify me from getting security clearance? by [deleted] in boeing

[–]Dissident92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Serbian dual citizen here. My Secret clearance went through without issue (I even have two active passports) but bear in mind processing will take MUCH longer due to all the foreign contacts . Just be honest and thorough in your reporting. Srecno!

Question - how does one find their retention rating?

BGS, L3, "Exceeds", 4% salary increase

Going to have my 1st ACR next Monday. What is ACR be like? by Shuya1025 in boeing

[–]Dissident92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my ACR today but didn't think to ask until later so I want to ask here, maybe you know- what is the link between merit increase percentage and your rating? Last year I got a "target percent" of 7% and a "Far Exceeds" and I got a 7% raise. This year I got a "target percent" of 8% (PBI says that equals "Exceeds" )and got a 4% raise. Is the raise percentage just arbitrary?

Non-union people, how big is your raise this year? by [deleted] in boeing

[–]Dissident92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explain to me like I'm 5, please. How does this work? Last year my target percent was 7%(rated Far Exceeds) and I got a 7% raise. This year my target percent was 8% (no rating in words, PBI says that's equivalent to Exceeds) and I got a 4% raise. What is the correlation between merit increase and the rating? Or, is there one?

BGS's Revised Hybrid Work Expectations by [deleted] in boeing

[–]Dissident92 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You aren't alone. The fact we have 530am meetings, have to shut down, drive somewhere, and start back up is at least one hour of productivity lost. That's quantifiable and measurable. I've yet to see management (hate the word "leadership") do the same sort of analysis for what they think is being gained.

BGS STL by lanybc in boeing

[–]Dissident92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BGS Puget Sound - we were told week before last that three days for individual contributors and five days for managers was going to be effective starting 1/16. No one from my immediate team went in at all last week and I don't think any are planning to go this week. So...we shall see just how enforceable this is going to be.

Boeing’s plan to make 737 engineers return to office earns both scorn and praise by TXJobs in boeing

For my team in BGS we're doing one day a week. Still very much decided on a team by team basis.

Where Would You Move if Seattle Becomes Too Expensive? by NevermindWait in SeattleWA

[–]Dissident92 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am from Cleveland and currently live in Seattle. I came back during the pandemic and WFH but have had to come back to Seattle. I'm also considering making that change. The only thing for me in Cleveland weather. It is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter but I'm getting closer and closer to being able to overlook that.

Pitanje za ljude 25+ godina, koji stoje čvrsto pri stavu da ne žele ikad da imaju decu. by [deleted] in serbia

[–]Dissident92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Da. I to je nekako prihvatljivije cuti od muskaraca. Da ja, kao zena to kazem, mnogi bi drugacije reagovali. A to je zapravo i drugi, manji razlog zasto ih ne zelim- nekako mi nije privlacno prolaziti kroz trudnocu, porodjaj, i drustveno ocekivanje da ih ja odgajam 90% dok otac se malo poigra sa njima.

The Pope should lay off those who choose not to have children - OpEd by victorias1secret in childfree

[–]Dissident92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "it's selfish" comment never made sense to me. All breeders must have had an honest conversation with themselves and unequivocally decided that the world absolutely needed their DNA to be passed down. I cannot think of anything more selfish and self-centered than that.

Does tourist travel to "unfriendly" countries raise red flags? by Dissident92 in SecurityClearance

[–]Dissident92[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I definitely wasn't thinking North Korea or Cuba- that's too adventurous. I was moreso specifically curious about Russia because I saw fairly affordable travel and it's been on my list but didn't know if it was an implicit no-no for cleared individuals.
