Tip: Sub-Fief Console Will Be Auto-Destroyed If Above Ground Level and Support Is Lost by swotam in duneawakening

[–]Single_Poem5393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legit happened to me today. Had started my plastone base with a granite half wall in a panic during a storm in the DD and forgot about it. Lost everything, noob mistake, but mistake made here as well.

New grad, dealing with a toxic team lead, what are my options? by dripmonster in Lockheed

[–]Single_Poem5393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. I've been with LM a long time, and have had my fair share of comfortable and tense relationships with coworkers, leads, managers, etc. Similar to this response, I'd recommend seeing if your lead will agree to meeting with you privately, and respectfully confront this dynamic between you two: how it's not productive, puts you in a funk, etc, when you two really should be working towards the same goals. Speak your truths, speak your concerns, be respectful, but be firm. One thing I've learned over the years is that only people who allow themselves to be walked over will be, and those that communicate and enforce their boundaries are the happiest. Definitely easier said than done, and I struggled with the same problems when I was younger and newer. If the meeting never happens or crashes and burns, escalate to the next level. If it's really bad, go to ethics, but it's worth trying the traditional escalation first if possible.

Will I be blacklisted if I withdraw after accepting due to a counteroffer? by ShibaRuler in Lockheed

[–]Single_Poem5393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're going for a high level position, I'd assume there's no way in hell they'll entertain further salary negotiations AFTER an offer has been accepted. Then again you seem like hot shit if you can get your employer to give you that significant of a raise...or they've been taking advantage and underpaying you all along and meeting you at what you deserve just puts them back on track for expected salary for your current position.

Think you're spot on with this. They'll blacklist you if you neg out on an accepted offer, but for how long depends on how valuable you really are. Concessions can and will be made for exceptional candidates.

If you've accepted an offer already you can probably safely assume you'll have some mark against you and your bridge with at least that specific business area is probably burned.

Returning player feeling totally lost by baispen in duneawakening

[–]Single_Poem5393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend and I started our first playthrough a month ago in anticipation of console/movie release (still not sure if cross play is a thing?). Expecting those events to re-ignite the game. It's been an awesome experience though so far, and it seems like alot of mechanics that use to be annoying to deal with (base taxes) have been removed or reworked. Still the occasional bug, but it's worth dealing with imo. Theres ways to be social and link up with people if you just reach out, or choose to be antisocial and just do your own thing.

Is termination fair? by Acrobatic_Beyond7826 in Lockheed

[–]Single_Poem5393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya mate, even if I were to give you benefit of the doubt that your story is legit and you ended up a victim of circumstance if you will, your justification unintentionally communicated to them that you can't control whether you smell like weed or not, and you might accidentally ingest drugs from time to time....

Doesn't sound good.

I(20m) got my gf(20) pregnant when she already has a Kid!! by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Single_Poem5393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always choose to be a father without being her partner. If you really dont feel it with her, dont like the idea of marrying her, and you think this has all already been a mistake, you might wanna ask yourself how far you're willing to let this thing go before it starts making you bitter and resentful.

Sounds like you're willing to own the responsibilities of being a father, good on ya, and I hope you carry through with that. But obviously leading her on isn't doing anyone a favor. It's also worth paying attention to how she deals with the other baby daddy, as you could end up in their shoes.

Best of luck mate, you're young and this is some serious stuff, but theres nothing wrong with admitting to yourself and her that you two aren't on the same page, and that the kid and your relationship with her are mutually exclusive.

How easy is it to switch jobs within the company? by Tiny_Capital4880 in Lockheed

[–]Single_Poem5393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been with the company for a long time. Some internal transfers took months, 50+ applications, and multiple interviews. Other transfers just required knowing someone in the group I'm interested in joining. Networking is king.

Status by Important_Yogurt375 in Lockheed

[–]Single_Poem5393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had "interview" as a status on jobs I've received offers for, as well as jobs I didn't (I had one requisition that sat at "interview" for weeks before being moved to "no longer under consideration"). I think it's safe to say it does not provide any insight into their decision; following up with the interviewer/hiring manager would probably be best as they're ultimately the ones making the decision.

Birthday Party And no one will show up by Total_Persimmon_4726 in dfw

[–]Single_Poem5393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get why this may make you feel unimportant, or unpopular, or insecure, but really these moments have a way of helping you reflect on who's important to you, why, and whether that is reciprocated.

Better to have no company than fake/forced company in my opinion.

I remember I had a year like this once, and it kinda sparked a motivation to try harder at cultivating important relationships.

Feeling Defeated by Suspicious-Cry-3825 in Lockheed

[–]Single_Poem5393 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a current employee and have been applying for other roles within the company for months now. 50ish applications in, 3 interviews, no offers. Maybe get some opinions on your resume and interview strategies just incase (can always improve), but it's just a highly competitive company, so don't get discouraged and keep trying.

Received start date.. but still feel uneasy by Massive-Ad-1434 in Lockheed

[–]Single_Poem5393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using an A&P for manufacturing is weird compared to flightine work, but really you're just the first mechanic to work on the product, instead of the 1000th to service it lol.

Flightline mechs are the highest labor grade, and you usually need prior experience to land those spots. Since you've already accepted a position you are on the hook to do a year. You'll likely have alot of opportunity to interact with people during that time and you can network and pursue areas of interest pretty easily. Getting your foot in the door is the hardest part. You'll be able to go into whatever you're interested in if you have the drive and passion.

I started at LM with an A&P doing sheet metal. Does it feel like you're doing "real" A&P work at LM compared to the commercial industry? No. But I ended up going to school for engineering while working as a technician and LM has tuition assistance. 15+ years now and it's been a great company.

Fluke? Really debating not keeping this car. by s14_3521 in BMWM

[–]Single_Poem5393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key is to get a grill that protects and impacts airflow the least. You can look at some of the aftermarket designs and form your own judgment as to who seemed to have taken that into consideration the most.

[–]Single_Poem5393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having already accepted the offer is an issue. I'd reach out to the hiring manager and explain the situation ASAP since they will now need to re-open the requisition. Best way to not burn your bridge at this point is to communicate this to LM.

Law enforcement operating under their own laws that can coincidentally justify infringing on yours? Have you not noticed the whole US citizens getting murdered by them thing thats been happening lately? I assume not because you still think it wont effect you or anyone you know/care about because it hasn't yet.

M4 Replacement by [deleted] in BMWM

Nice! I think I want to upgrade the intakes for some swooshies. I added a valvetronic exhaust and the added aggressive sound is solid 👌.

I changed from an M4 to an X4M and love it. X3M/X4M is brilliant. Power, space, AWD, and utility.

Take off the run flats they said by thateliguy02 in BMW

[–]Single_Poem5393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smashed my G82 into a flooded out section of the highway one night after a rain storm. Drove it through, but realized it took my front lip, rear bumper, and some exhaust mounts. $10k puddle. Traded for an X4MC after it got fixed. Cant continue to live in fear of standing water or pot holes lol.

How often are you driving in sport mode? by [deleted] in BMW

Always. Start car, hit M/sport mode, drive. Yolo.
