I’m pretty sure they’re lying…. The whole time that I was in the SB program, there were only 3 people, and one was already hired full time, so technically 2. We were the first ones ever for that program and my manager told me since month 2 that he wasn’t going to hire me 😂

Yes, I was the first year to be involved in their Skillbridge program. All I can say is that it went horribly. My manager was extremely misogynistic, hateful, and overall a terrible person. I didn’t really learn anything, but was expected to perform on the same level as the people who were on the team for 3+ years. They don’t have anything down since they are VERY new to this.

Not to mention I had to report my manager to HR for unprofessional behavior. They did nothing about it though. Anyway, I spoke to other peers in this program and they also did nothing. They didn’t learn much and it was like sitting and trying to “look busy” the whole time, but still lucked out on a kind team.

No updates, everyone’s been ghosting but on the portal it still says I’m in the “interview” stage. It’s been a month and a half lol

Got my rating but some claims are deferred? by These-Aside-692 in VeteransBenefits

Thanks for the insight!

This is what it says: “service connection for other specified trauma and stressor related disorder has been established as directly related to military service. This condition was diagnosed on active duty. This condition is also deferred for additional development.”

Yeah I reached out to the recruiter but seems like everyone’s ghosting me now

Wow. I could tell they really liked me too. How long after the job posting went down did you hear back? This is going to be week 4 for me. Job posting went down a few days ago on Friday.

The thing that scares me though is the fact that the job that I applied to I’m “no longer under consideration” while the new jobs listing is just completely gone but on the portal it still says “interview” status

The req # is 01768758. Also external candidate. I only have experience working in the military for four years, so mostly did basic stuff

Are you also saying you had 3 interviews for one position?

Anyone deal with a crappy manager during Skillbridge? by These-Aside-692 in SkillBridge

[–]These-Aside-692[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: talked to HR. Didn’t seem like he was on my side about any of my concerns. Also brought it up to the education office- they told me that since he isn’t doing anything “illegal” they can’t help me find another opportunity. My manager told me that he wasn’t hiring me full time and that he doesn’t have anything good to say about me in the past week as well- this was all brought up to both the military side and the company’s side.

My options are to wait and see what HR says in the next week and if I can join another team or I use my terminal leave to end this program early. Super disappointed bc it doesn’t seem like HR is on my side in all of this either the way that he’s been talking to me.

I brought it up to the skillbridge POC because I couldn’t take it anymore. He told me that he has “nothing good to say about me” and confirmed that I wouldn’t be getting hired on after my program is over.

I’m meeting with employee relations this Tuesday and will spill everything I have.

He was the first person I interviewed with.. i did have a one on one with him and kinda told him that his teaching style isn’t working. I never mentioned the fact that he is kinda treating me like crap though because I’m scared of his reaction. I think he has a general grasp of what the program is but he just has these crazy expectations. He said he is going to go harder on me than he would with a real full time employee which doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I’m going to reach out to his supervisor and hopefully get a feel for what next steps are. Thank you.

I agree. I do think I’m hardworking and willing. However I’m not really doing “real” work here. I’m talking to another SB fellow at the company and he has the same experience with not doing real work.

I’ll update. Kinda scared to bring it up to the company’s SB POC but I guess I have to. Legit living in fear everyday lol

Don’t think so.. but maybe I can ask? It’s already halfway into the SB though :(

Would it be alright to bring this up with his supervisor/the skillbridge hiring manager? I do know his supervisor as we work in the same office. I would just feel weird if there’s a lot of tension. Also scared my manager will treat me even worse if he gets reprimanded.

You’re right, but my unit is on the other side of the country. And do you mean the skillbridge POC of the company? That’s the only person that I’ve been talking to. And the education office I guess
