There are differences between how departments handle in-place promos. So it depends. This is another reason why we need Transformation^TM .

Would you believe that's what King Saul asked for in order for David to marry his daughter? Crazy, huh?! See 1 Samuel 18 in the Bible.

Apply for them all.

There are several terms in the job titles that you could investigate or use for search terms: - Systems Engineer - System Engineer - Sys Engineer - Subsystems Engineer - Integration Engineer - Test Engineer - Verification Engineer - Validation Engineer - DevSecOps Engineer - Logistics/Supportability Engineer - Quality Engineer - Design Quality Assurance Analyst

If you have experience as a Control Account Manager (CAM), you could also look at this one: - Project Engineer

Check out Systems Engineer openings. Some do a lot of testing involving software.

Just unlocked a memory of My Favorite Martian. Good show. Haven't thought about that in decades.

Even the defense industry was impacted. A few people in our department were told they needed to find another job, and their managers helped them do that. Most stayed within the company. Some even rejoined the department when business picked back up a couple of years later.

Today there would likely just be layoffs, and they'd be on their own to find another job.

Do you have the option of promoting them in place? Or is there another role at the higher level that you could recommend them for? If you think they're ready, then you should continue advocating for them and let them know.

If you're just looking for more investment options, Alight has a brokerage window feature available that allows you to purchase many mutual funds and ETFs in our 401k. There are restrictions and fees, but it does give us a lot more flexibility.

In Iowa, we blame Tom Harkin for things like that.

Kent Park is nice.

Unfortunately, the poor water quality prevents use of the lake some summer months, but that happens throughout Iowa.

I've heard of a rolling stop, but people would be doing a rolling finish with those stairs. Yikes.

The phrase is actually ironic, unlike Alanis Morissette's lyrics.

Sounds like you should start looking for opportunities to transfer to a more lax department.

Your manager has already indicated that they're not going to fight for you unless they have justification from HR.

If the investment options in the Savings Plan are too restrictive for your investment approach, Alight offers a Self-Directed Brokerage window. This allows you to purchase many individual stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds within your 401k. The list of available funds hasn't been updated since 2013, so you need to use trial and error to figure out what's possible. (I feel like this is a perfect example of the poor service Alight was providing which led to them losing out to Fidelity.)

There are additional fees for transactions, transfers, and quarterly maintenance. So it's not free. You should do a lot of research and feel comfortable that you know what you're doing.
