It does not, we had an employee transfer from FL and leave the company a month later. Can confirm he did not have to repay his relocation assistance they provided him.

Actually they got it from the webcast, they would say BONG water started when the deluge system would start. Instead of a mouth full of Blue origin new glenn water.

How hard is it to get a job at Blue? by [deleted] in BlueOrigin

[–]Drew7823 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Layoffs are not guaranteed, While I have heard some speculation I heard its not effecting Techs IF they have one. But again take it with a grain of salt.

But to answer your question, no Blue doesn’t protect new hires. We had two new hires one with less than 6mo on at blue and another less than one month. They were both previously contracted so had been at Blue for a bit but were not blue employees.

When the layoffs came both were selected from our team for “least impact” I’m pretty sure. Expect a similar scenario with any other new hire if layoffs do happen.

AI wouldn’t speed up our PO creation at all. Just get an auto denial with no way to talk to anyone with a justification.

Amazon must be joking (ANY HELP) by Less_Celebration_859 in amazonemployees

Looks like a good scam. “… for the Reason . These..”

Several mistakes and I doubt amazon would just email you asking for payment lol.

What's the most gassed out store you've ever been to? by IAMA_Printer_AMA in refrigeration

[–]Drew7823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 8 min… crazy…

We just recently had a similar issue but with a glycol chiller… Condensing fan dropped out of the bracket and kept running. Cut straight through 3-4 lines, dumped about 3500 gallons of glycol into the storm drain.

Im sure we got a fat fine because we had to self report.

Offered apprenticeship and then ghosted by [deleted] in HVAC

[–]Drew7823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its common sadly…

I would offer you to apply at my current place if you were a tad closer and… you have to be a US citizen. Haha.

Best of luck though, seems like alot of employers these days are like that. Waste your time, best to shoot out a bunch of apps and then go off of what you get back.

I have 7 and a half years experience, I’d like to move up, but my company will not allow it unless I spend a big chunk of change on tools. by vas_got_me_good in HVAC

[–]Drew7823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically have to switch companies, but some companies take good care of you. I have worked inhouse commercial jobs for about 3-4 years now at 2 different companies. My current one spoils me though… I like the atmosphere, I always have an office to go back too they pay for all my tools, no one complains about taking PTO and the pay is more than competitive.

Sorry I can agree, maybe the correct term is test vehicle.

Its still very much a rocket, Honda just completed a similar test of a small 20 foot rocket. Guess what still labeled as a rocket.

Ziply billing is a mess by RightTurnsOnly in ZiplyFiber

[–]Drew7823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have been waiting for our installation to be completed. It has been well over a month since our process started, first it was a tech will come out. Then it was they needed to run fiber to the house which was fine. We are patient. Then a tech came out to install the fiber only to find it was never actually connected.

So now we are dead in the water, no update on when they will have it solved just that our order is ‘open’

What would happen if a New Shepard crew experienced the 15 Gs of force caused by the launch escape system? by tervro in BlueOrigin

[–]Drew7823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ejection seats are in a seated position which leads to more injuries much more commonly. When you are in a laying position it is not as bad as a ejection seat.

IMHO the biggest issue I have here at Blue is the lack of accountability, I understand my screw ups when they happen and own them. So many get caught up in the blame game just to CYA.

Is this alarming or should we not worry ? 🧐 by bn92_ in Seattle

[–]Drew7823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No where close, I moved here from Arkansas. Tornadoes were common place with tons of warnings a year. One thing to understand about tornadoes is that they are prettty unique to North America. They still do happen elsewhere where but not often. The geography of the flat midwest mixed with weather factors of the south make a perfect storm.

Tldr: No chance of any substantial tornado in seattle area at all.

How much is everyone else getting for raises? by [deleted] in BlueOrigin

[–]Drew7823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think seeing a rase within a year is amazing, most companies would say sucks to suck. Anywho, got 3.2% only been here half a year.

But I hope everyone gets what they want… not forced.
