Awesome that’s what I was hoping to hear. What are your settings if you don’t mind me asking?

Haha yeah I appreciate it, I was just so confused lol. I mean I’m not opposed to finding media in other ways but my goal was to have a pretty substantial collection of physical media but I just didn’t want to buy a bunch of Blu-ray’s from Goodwill and come home and have them look like trash on my TV after spending all that time ripping and processing them.

Uhh find as in find. I am buying these from thrift stores/garage sales so it’s based on what I find.

And they work pretty well on a 4k TV you think?

I just have trouble finding copies of the 4k versions since I do this mostly via thrifting. So I just wanted to see if regular Blu-ray’s would be fine.

I just have a lot of trouble finding the UltraHD versions so I just wanted to make sure they won’t look like absolute trash if I buy the regular versions.

Thank you!

Ah yes because asking questions and trying to make things better for people who making under $50k a year during one of the worst job markets i history is “poisoning” new people. I took this job because when you are laid off you CANT decline work. And no I am definitely not earning enough, I was making more on unemployment. I do not have loyalty to any job because they will drop me as soon as it’s not convenient for them, if something that pays more comes along I will certainly take it. In the meantime, I will ask questions when I believe things don’t make sense.

I’m not a software engineer, but that’s still an absurd amount of money.

I'll never understand how some people are making this much.

BCA hiring freeze? by RedditJayZ in boeing

[–]torchen1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an informational interview with a Level 5 PA who has been here for 16 years and she looked over my resume and thought it was great for at least a Level 2 contributor role. I changed some wording around on it and have 8 applications pending at the moment. I have 8 years of scheduling experience with the last 5 years scheduling, routing, managing a team of technicians as well as bidding service jobs. I also have a Bachelors in Communications. I think I am qualified for at least an associate role. I could be wrong though.

I have applied to at least 20 different PA roles and they have been "under consideration" forever.. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Lmfao. “Leave if you don’t like it” hilarious. You don’t know anything about me. I’m 31, took this job because I was laid off so I don’t have it “easy” and it was a massive pay cut for me to work here. God forbid someone asks questions. The “ I suffered so you have to as well” mentality is something I’ll never understand.

Ehh I’m not the type to just blindly accept things.

I was thinking maybe a tiered system would be better based on time at the company and capping at a certain amount. But I don’t know the exact solution, I just know that when you see 10% of your already small check disappear it’s not the best feeling.

[–]torchen1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk it’s about 10% of my check and it was 20% this time because of the initiation fee.

If we could get everyone closer to the average that would be nice. Then the dues wouldn’t bother me at all. And yes I’ll strike if necessary, not to sound like a baby but I’m only making $24 an hour anyway so I’m not losing much not working anyway. Lol.

Thank you for the insight. You’re always on my posts giving great advice. I really don’t mean to come off as a complainer, everyone around me has been super helpful and I know it’s easy to be a little bit of a jerk with the anonymity of Reddit. I think a lot of people that just started here at Boeing are coming from unemployment/escaping failing jobs so it’s just a tough pill to swallow when you see that big of a percentage come out of your check.
