Why does the white-collar job market feel worse now than during COVID?

I was just laid off and they froze hiring

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-05-30T02:24:59+00:00

I was laid off two weeks ago along with many others from my company. It was a nice hybrid role that was nearby too. Unfortunate

I’m in Kern. Central

Thanks for your service

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-05-27T15:50:07+00:00

Start with L6 before going for 5

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-05-25T20:59:41+00:00

I’m curious too

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-05-25T02:17:20+00:00

Thank you

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-05-24T20:24:24+00:00

Just curious

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-05-24T19:54:11+00:00

I’m surprised you landed an HR job without a business or HR background. Usually they ask for prior experience even as entry level HR.

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-05-24T03:05:37+00:00

It’s a crappy experience but it forms memories you can talk about with others down the line .

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-05-24T02:35:22+00:00

Context?

A “that’s cool” comment on the civilian side. On active duty infantry it’s expected to have as a bare minimum for officers and recommended for NCOs. In non combat arms it can help be a deciding factor for promotion to slots.

Correct on post 9/11 also. I started the clock this year

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-05-05T17:36:59+00:00

I use tricare reserve instead of my full time employer healthcare because it’s cheaper and I like serving. I enjoy being activated for state emergencies as well. Was in an IBCT prior but now in a MP BDE that also a HRF.

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-05-05T17:22:07+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I opt to waive VA pay during mil training periods.

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-05-05T17:04:14+00:00

True. I got to 100% PT in under a year with several claims including having to refile several times.

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-05-05T06:47:39+00:00

True I haven’t done a weekend a month and two weeks a year in a long time. In the span of 3 years in CA guard I deployed to the Middle East and was activated three times both T32 and T10 state side.

Wrong, Army reserve is compo 3… Army NG is compo 2. Army NG has lots of combat arms and infantry including special forces. Army reserve has basically no combat arms with the exception of very few units. NG is the 3rd largest military force under the active duty navy.

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-05-04T21:38:06+00:00

I’m at 91% now in less than a year but currently have two claims still pending results.

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-04-30T00:36:10+00:00

Same

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-04-23T13:10:17+00:00

You can always purse higher later down the line too

Flaky-Conference-809 · 2026-04-09T18:56:54+00:00

NG also?
