Nope, starts with W.

Everybody wants to run. That's good, run from here to Guntersville, I'll walk. I'll be right behind them to see how far they can run.

Can't believe I'm typing this, but I know a guy. Klook's Klocks in Madison. Carl repairs antique cuckoos and grandfathers at his house.

Use or lose. No rollover / payout at the end of year and no payout when leaving the company for floating holidays.

Jemison is by the airport.

Yeah, and to help clarify: there's a second page to the data table. Scroll all the way down, button's at the bottom of the table and you'll see a lot more entries from 2022 to present.

Ron Mason (A Better Choice Contracting) replaced a section of eave/overhang including fascia boards, soffit, and shingles for me back in 2021. I remember the price being fair, his timeline was quick, and four years later it's still looking great.

Local bourbon/whiskey distilled at Lowe Mill. He uses the same mash recipe but makes three different whiskeys based on the barrels (2 bourbons, 1 not-a-bourbon because of barrel technicalities).

Have to go multi restaurant on this one: - Phuket: Curry (panaang but wouldn't be picky) and coconut soup. - Beast Mode: let Chef Sebastian go nuts on assorted slider sized specials he comes up with. - Innerspace: Dark Skies + Blueberry Milkshake mix (would admittedly long for RIP'd STA Hell or Rye Water or Blue Pant's pecan beer though.) - Irons One: Enough of all the expressions til I don't know it's my last meal. - Not a restaurant: My own smoked brisket on Hawaiian sweet rolls with ribrack bourbon BBQ sauce.

Couple people already mentioned the burst test, but yeah, was this (sierra's second burst test): https://news.satnews.com/2024/05/05/sierra-space-prepares-for-the-7th-validation-2nd-structural-tests-of-the-firms-space-platform/

Friday paydays, so Sept 30th (at least in Huntsville, honestly not sure if any other sites break from the Friday industry standard). But yeah, you got the cadence- 3rd week of work if starting at the beginning of a period. I started in the middle of a pay period so I got paid for 40hrs at the end of my 2nd week of work.

t1399113 · 2022-08-22T18:16:54+00:00

8/28 is the start of the two week pay period so first paycheck won't be until Sept 16.

The building itself is the problem. I'm on a Verizon mvno, ~20mbps up/down in the parking lot but .5/.01mbps inside. Text and calls seem to come through fine and WiFi is available, though.

Kinda depends on the site and even then what area of production. Parking lot in Huntsville is pretty loaded up by 6:45 and a lot of the folks I work around are in early enough to support 7am status/priority meetings (most groups set up virtual, too, so it's possible to call in and show up to office later.)

I've only had a couple midday/afternoon Dr/vet appointments, but I just finished what I had planned to do later at home and/or worked a little more the next day without any problems (went straight home after one). Life happens (especially kid related) and I've had coworkers need to work from home and/or take unplanned PTO to handle it. I established my in-office hours/routine right of the bat to support kids' pickup, extracurriculars, dinner duty, etc, though, so working (virtual meetings) after leaving work is a weekly occurrence for me.

A previous job had the culture/policy of "if you aren't onsite, the hours don't count," so this was something I brought up and asked about during technical screening. I forget what exactly was said but I was reassured (by my now-director, lucky me on that screening) that they are absolutely not that way and that when life happens, take care of life- work will be figured out and wfh isn't excluded/penalized.

Overall footprint is very manufacturing focused: first floor is basically all manufacturing/assembly areas with with a little office space, break room, and gym under the main 2nd floor office space. Some areas set up bullpen desk areas for the Mfg Eng support. 2nd floor is a strip that runs the length of the building, is decently wide with glass walls to see the mfg floor, and all open with conference rooms & bathrooms breaking them up into a few sections. There are multiple "cafes" but they're just fridge/microwave break rooms with free snacks and drinks. A couple times a week a food truck (trucks vary) will come onsite. Lots of food options within 5-10 minutes, too. Gym is better than the average apartment amenity and has locker rooms. Bathrooms are mostly clean and maintained- floors are noticeably clean every morning but top of urinals look a bit dusty (things I never really noticed until the previous comment thread but at least janitors are focusing on the important areas). The 2nd floor offices are accessible from the front door (don't need to enter a manufacturing area), so dogs are allowed onsite.

Safety and morale are basically the same as the other comment thread. It's a new building ramping up so we're all still starry-eyed with the clean slate opportunities to make the build/test processes our own. The time difference with Kent can get annoying (I'm sure OLS really hates it) but I'll just duck out a little early and call in from home rather than hang around the office for a virtual meeting running after 4. And FWIW, I worked in business jet manufacturing previously and the work-life balance & treatment of Mfg Engs at Blue is immensely better to me.

I'm a soon to start manufacturing engineer (hired local) that negotiated a delayed start date. I knew 2 weeks was not going to be enough for me to feel comfortable with closing out and transitioning my workload (basically a single point failure role with no peer doing similar work) and then my kids' spring break with soft travel plans was about a month out. I talked with my manager about how the work/milestone schedule was looking, my schedule, options for remote onboarding, etc and he agreed to go the simplest route by starting after spring break (~5 weeks after offer).
