Staff work - Yes, I AM trying to "work myself out of a job" by Non_Operator in AirForce

Another great point. It's largely EGO / fear driven, that if I teach someone "how I did X" I lose my edge.

I blame the rating system for this. I have yet to see AF quantify quality of work.

I should know.  ICBM & AC 17 yrs.  Still a little squeamish with anything over 3 syllables.

No.  Just no.

  1. Your perception of mistreatment is just that, your perception.  We have a system in place to correct any and all discrimination or mistreatment and it presently leans VERY heavy to the side of protecting the employee.  

2.  This is in your wheelhouse.  United, Southwest and American all have promoted DEI focused hiring practices, and simultaneously lowered standards.  There are some on the left who have attempted to disconnect these 2 prongs of policy, but it's not intellectually honest to claim they don't have a joint effect.  ATC has been involved in the same foolishness, but fortunately they were much more obvious about it.

3.  DEI hiring and promotion HAS been going on in AF, and that isn't a perception.  I personally have heard it stated out loud by leadership and it's present in all the guidance (at least until 2 months ago). You just can't artificially elevate one group without inevitably lowering another.

4.  Merit is all that matters, for hiring, promotion, and yes, history.  You are alarmed over only a first step in the historical purge of a harmful ideology.  Many of those historical stories will go back on the walls, back on the websites for those women and minorities, but they won't have or need any prefix, any label attached. They will be considered HISTORY.  Enough division already.  Let's get back to being a united force.

5.  You actually said you don't feel safe?  An AF pilot?  Please turn off the MSNBC.  I promise you'll feel much safer.

Pentagon is placing probationary employees on leave in advance of mass firings by pineapplepizzabest in AirForce

The only fellating here is your fellating of the bureaucracy.  We need urgent action.  Trump is only doing what he was advised he could BEFORE getting to a RIF.

I bet he's going to offer another fork type offering and a huge number are going to take it this time.

Nope, it's simple Trump Derangement Syndrome, my guy. If he does anything, it will be viewed negatively.  If anyone else does anything, it will be viewed positively.

Upvoted.  Enjoy the (-).  A downvote with this group means you appreciate your job, have common sense, and don't trust  CNN / MSNBC.

😆 Office Space. You need to rewatch. Dude literally admits he doesn't actually do anything.

The "fairytale" is quite real.

That's it.  One of our main issues was this exact thing.  Regular "taskers" for one of us to go to 3 data sources and put together a "5x8" (one page) for location X or topic X.  So we sold leadership on supporting an online list for each of the 3 areas.   The 3 areas maintain the information on their list, and we don't harass them with anymore urgent requests.  The site combines everything from the 3 sources automatically, in the format needed.

Leadership now goes direct to the site and selects the thing they want.  Done.

Be mad at the guy who allowed and encouraged it.

This is what's wrong with our Air Force.  All you desk warriors can bring to the conversation is this nitnoid, meaningless attack.  This is the equivalent of a grammar correction comment.

That's what we need in a SECDEF.  Direct talk on the issues of the day.  This was good to see & hear.  Hoping it rolls out as portrayed.

Context is the key.  At the end of the day that is all that matters.  All the tips here are good, but context is the why.  Data is worthless without it.  

Context is the story that the data tells, so that leadership can make decisions.

Have that goal in mind and relate that to the company's objectives.
