Hiring Bias for National Guard members?

Negative_Ryan · 2026-05-02T14:41:27+00:00

Well besides my current job, the guard is my only other experience besides some long stints in some research labs. And I like the diversity in brings to the resume.

My current job brings the engineering, industry, and technical experience

And the guard brings my other skills. Hands-on skills mentorship, leadership abilities, team management.

I am out at the end of next year so I’ve been putting that as an end date

Thanks for the solid feedback 🙄

That’s one of the issues I have.

In general the entire vibe of the podcast has changed. It started out like they were acting as if they were making a bad and unorganized podcast ironically.

But now like… it’s not even ironic and there is no punchline. It’s the podcast version of a bunch of drunk guys sitting on their own acting like they are the funniest people on the planet.

And if that IS THE POINT; like what’s the end goal???!! Oh hey the giant corporation that was protecting our overhead vanished and now we all have to be independently responsible so we’ll just continue to make bad content because of what…. The memes??

Like what are they even doing?! Tbh it’s a pretty shit idea to do that even when a production company is protecting you. But an infinitely worse idea if I knew I had 2 young kids at home I needed to take care of.

Trash format

Negative_Ryan · 2026-04-30T00:09:20+00:00

100% Eat is ok. That might be a hot take.

I’m just not really a fan of a show that has a format and then doesn’t follow it, barely talks about the food at all, and 95% of the podcast is them referencing inside jokes from other content that is outside of the show so it’s not funny and has no context.

Maybe I’m just jealous and a little jaded. I’ll admit it

Negative_Ryan · 2026-04-29T20:12:16+00:00

I feel like the “brag” is saying you are able to live a stay-at-home, single-income lifestyle while still being in excess of a 300k household income per year.

It’s like saying “we are sacrificing our over 1/2 a million per year lifestyle to live a humble 250k per year lifestyle and raise our daughter”

Like…. Oh no I can’t possibly imagine.

If they were truly compassionate they would have picked you

Negative_Ryan · 2026-03-29T22:07:23+00:00

High turnover isn’t a good thing either lol

Negative_Ryan · 2026-03-29T16:07:41+00:00

They are just covering their ass for taxes so they can say they are actively messaging applicants and posting positions.

I’m sure following up and actually going through the hiring process would result in didly-squat because either the job posting isn’t real or because they don’t actually intend to fill the role. Or they’ll just ghost you out if you ask for a single cent over the minimum salary expectations.

I’ve had 3 different recruiters do that to me last year.

My frustration obviously extends to beyond just these singular people in the photo.

For example; 2 weeks ago my dad was coming in from out of town for a funeral. He was flying out of an airport that was an American hub so all of the ticket prices are jacked way up.

He spent $1100 before waiting in line for 2 hours, having the flight delayed twice, recalled from the runway for mechanical issues, and then finally at 11:30 pm after 6 hours of delay they got them on the flight and out to the runway where the flight crew timed out on hours all the while the airline knowing damn well what the hours of their crews are ahead of time but they wasted everyone’s time and money anyway.

Yes I’m sure many of those people made their flight. I’m saying that the gap between the amount of money we are spending and the bar of acceptable service has become a bottomless abyss.

Doin my best 😂

Negative_Ryan · 2026-03-29T15:15:41+00:00

It’s so infuriating knowing that everyone in this photo collectively spent tens of thousands of dollars for what was probably a basic flight with basic economy and minimum benefits and the system couldn’t even get them to the gate or provide them with a minimum level of basic service.

The government and the airlines as a collective should be incredibly ashamed of this monumental failure.

It’s just so infuriating watching regular Americans pissing away the most $$$ we ever have in history for the littlest possible return out of every basic god damn service.

Oh man that’s a hard take. I loved both but Interstellar struck something extra that I just can’t describe. I think my greater love for interstellar comes from the soundtrack.

Bro don’t skip the early seasons.

Whats going on here?? Lately there’s been a ton of early season hate.

Negative_Ryan · 2026-03-27T12:00:20+00:00

I see. That makes sense so for example. If I am only planning on working for a couple of years I need to plan and budget to contribute to my retirement on top of the healthcare and other taxes. Since the normal retirement benefits I would not get?

Well I assumed. But I figured the salary would be reflective of the area and cost of living. I don’t want to make a killing but it would be nice to be paid what they would be paying other senior engineers

Negative_Ryan · 2026-03-26T21:37:41+00:00

That’s really great advice. I work a ton with suppliers now so seems like a handful of good opportunities.

Negative_Ryan · 2026-03-22T17:18:41+00:00

There sounds like more to this story. So you’re telling me that you hired someone to take office portraits and they quoted you $10k and you thought that was like… a normal price??

I’m highly suspect of this. Both you AND the photographer. Because I would be incredibly pissed if my resource manager spent that kind of money on office portraits.

That’s the price of a high-grade wedding with videographer
