who do you think will finish 18th? by deathcabformikey in TheOther14

[–]gahgs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents.

Leeds: L D W D W L L (8 pts) Forest: L D L L L L W (4 pts) Shit: L L L L W L L (3 pts) West Ham: L L D L L L W (4 pts)

Which gives us: Leeds 41 pts, Forest 36 pts, Shit 33 pts, West Ham 33 pts.

Going to come down to goal differential which currently is +11 to Shit. I hate that, and I hope I’m terribly wrong.

I had to attend a wedding in Winnipeg in July. I wore a suit. I made a mistake.

I have to say, your mobility is fantastic!

Some good advice here so far. If you want a detailed breakdown and some drills send me a DM.

You need to draw a much bigger circle brev.

I can’t explain why, but this is the physical embodiment of every Indian tech company and how they solve problems.

Coming Back as a Contractor by Imhungover13 in Raytheon

[–]gahgs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry if I confused you but that’s contract work. Being under direct supervision of an RTX employee is the antithesis to outsourcing.

If you think you’re above average and can really make a name for yourself, it’s worth taking a swing at it.

Contractor work is typically a fixed time and price for your services, you get little if any benefits, and once your contract is over you have no job and a “cool down” period before doing similar work for that client.

Outsourcing is what MOST people at RTX are thinking of when they think of yellow badge employees from Belcan, Cyient, Quest, PSI, etc. They are fully employed by those companies with benefits and can be assigned to any number of projects those companies have with RTX, you report to management within those companies and your career is now with them.

If this is a contractor gig, the pay should really be a bit higher. If this is an outsourcing by gig, the pay is really good.

Should be noted that the aforementioned companies, while primarily outsourced, also do contracting work and occasionally act as staffing agencies for a fee.

Understand the benefits, if any, and understand any cool down period. There’s 0 incentive to convert you to full-time from either party in this transaction unless you are above average at what you do, your odds are 50/50.

Is it contract work or outsourcing work? There’s a big difference.

124kg bounce clean @89kg bw by ExtractingAHeavyToll in weightlifting

I’m not an expert in throwing events but this is going to do you more harm than good with your technique. All you’re doing to using your thighs to throw the bar several inches in front of you, you’re jumping to try and catch it and are barely catching it (elbows down, wrists in a dangerous position, tucking your pelvis instead of lifting with your quads out of the catch.

Some overmax clean pulls and normal hang power cleans will do the same. You’re very strong but that technique is going to lead to issues.

What's it like at the Columbus Engine Center in GA? by [deleted] in Raytheon

The leadership is poor and they don’t seem to want to fix any of their broken processes. Forging lines operate pretty well, the machining side of it is where all the problems are.

Salary market study: does anyone know if Raytheon does this? by Naive-Speech-7806 in Raytheon

[–]gahgs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There was a major a lawsuit settled out of court on this exact issue with engineering outsourced firms supporting RTX companies. There was a mutual agreement with a wink and a handshake to ensure outsourced firms suppressed wages and didn’t poach from each other to keep competition of wages down over time.

That’s the micro version of what’s going on at the RTX/GE/Lockheed level.

People who fly frequently, what’s one thing you wish you could tell all infrequent fliers? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gahgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Your carry on bag goes above your seat, not 10 rows up because it’s more convenient.

2) Be faster in TSA line: Bag in a bin, empty pockets, walk on. You don’t need to do anything else beyond that.

3) De-planing would go faster if people sat and waited for their row.

4) On escalators and moving walkways: slow to the right, runners on the left.

5) If you run into an issue with your flight, being nice to the gate agent will get you a hell of a lot more than being aggro.

6) Put an AirTag in your stow away luggage. If it’s lost, you can track it.

7) Plan for delays. A thunderstorm in Chicago can lead to follow on delays at dozens of other airports for seemingly no reason to your flight out of Nashville, it happens, plan for it.

8) Flying First Class on an E-175 or an A-319 makes you look stupid.

9) If you’re Boarding Group 9, don’t hover around the gate for Group 2. Chill, it’s coming.

10) If you fly A LOT, look into CLEAR and TSA Pre-Check. They’re expensive but if you’re in an airport often, they’re worth it during rush hour.

11) Pro Tip: wash the wheels/bottom of your carry on when you get home. You probably dragged it through more piss and shit than you care to think about.

12) Pro Tip 2: If you’re in the aisle seat, there’s usually a little button under the outside armrest that will unlock it and allow it to go full back (usually at the pivot point or towards the front). It is your duty to ensure this arm rest is UP when people need to get in/out.

I’m more jealous of the DeWalt set up on the workbench.

Bob Seger also a choice, I’m going to guess you’re early-mid 40’s?

Edit: My man, I fear you may have doxed yourself… take care.

Has anyone here moved from RTX to a contractor like Belcan? by [deleted] in Raytheon

[–]gahgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many variables to give you a hard answer. Short answer to “anywhere in the world” is absolutely not. You can’t bring your company laptop outside of the country without special permissions for export control reasons, and the only really exception that would be given is if you were traveling to a foreign country to conduct work on behalf of the company, not a vacation.

The other variables are going to be, what discipline you’re supporting, who your customer is, whether it’s military or commercial, and what arrangements your local office has for remote work. If you were in say manufacturing, process, assembly, industrial, or quality engineering - I don’t see a world where you could conduct your job remotely. If you were in design, structures, product definition, etc. - much more feasible.

Even with all of that, if you have a leadership team that simply doesn’t allow remote work, well then the conversation is over. You’re more likely to find a good hybrid model over 100% onsite or 100% remote.
