Army reservist here, my Sgt just told me the unit is mobilizing under title 10 for Covid related operation. I have seen the group order, however, I’m still waiting for my individual order to be cut. Have you guys ever experienced this situation before? Currently in the process of job hunting and relocation. How would you deal with it?

Fishies, How are you guys handling non-COVID-related pitches for long-lead pubs right now? Also, Anybody have insider knowledge from pubs about a shift in editorial topics for 2nd half of the year?

How early did you start seeing patients with COVID symptoms?

Hearing rumors that someone who entered the CNN building near Union Station got Coronavirus

I have moderate-conservative views. My team, 6 other people, are all very left-leaning. Politics isn't usually discussed outright, but the liberal views frequently seep into our meetings. It's uncomfortable for me; I can't chime in when they talk about media, covid, news, etc. because I don't agree with their snuck premises. I get along with all of them and I don't think they realize I'm basically a closet conservative. Anyone else feel like a total outsider on their team?

Has anyone been able to get prescribed anti-depressants during COVID? I’m struggling so much right but not sure how this will work out with telemedicine, etc. I don’t have a primary therapist.

Are there going to be layoffs in this COVID19 scenario?
What industries/companies do you guys think will be affected the most and what industries/companies will be affected the least?

Am I hung over or do I have covid 😬
Sigh

I left my old firm and started my own firm in September. I have already started to get client referrals and so far I am working from my home only - because it’s COVID time and people know Zoom now. I do estate planning and elder law, which lends itself to meeting clients at their locations when needed. I had a client drop off documents I need to review at my house this week and this was fine with the client. Do any attorneys here open their own home to clients ever for meetings?

Anyone in NY who has UnitedHealthcare and got covid testing and antibody testing via CityMD? Were all expenses covered / free of charge? Thanks!

Sending some good vibes! H1b extension got approved with RFE getting cleared in 14 days. These were some of the most stressful days with covid, EO and so much non-clarity everywhere. For anyone in the same boat, hang in there and you will hear the good news soon. :)

How to deal with change? 1 year out of college and living with 3 of my best friends, just talked about living together for next year but they are all moving to new cities. Another friend is moving to my city so I’ll be living with them but I can’t help but feel a little lonely/like a huge stage of my life is over. Any tips for dealing with this change? I guess I also feel a little guilty because I’m pretty covid conservative so I’ve turned down social outings this past year because of that.

What was the coolest work related party/ event you have been at, pre/post Covid?

Do companies actually check if your resume title is accurate during the hiring process? Do to covid, I am unable to get a formal title change but am performing in the next role. I don’t want to misrepresent myself but also want recognition for the level I am performing in.

Over the last 12 months my role changed significantlu so in Jan I approached the CEO about a raise and promotion more in line with my work and he said yes - but not until until the end of Q1 when budgets are finalized. Covid hit and I was told all promotions and raises were put on hold. I never got a Q2 review bc my manager said the raise was up in the air still. But on Friday the CEO sent an email listing 17 promotions, not including me. Im meeting w my manager tomorrow but idk what to say.

I’ve committed to a life coaching program to make changes that are needed to support me in leveling up personal and professional goals. A fresh start for my post-Covid world. I’m showing up for me.

Are Estate planners very busy during covid? Some have told me they are not and it surprised me.

Anyone else at a firm so rooted in the past that you’re embarrassed explaining it to other attorneys?

Example: We are 10 months into COVID and my firm still hasn’t decided on/implemented a video meeting platform (Zoom, Teams, etc.). So if I want to have a video meeting I have to ask the other party to use their video services. And it’s not at all a funding issue.

Any SF/Bay area people on here? Feeling inspired to coordinate a socially distanced meet up, covid lockdown loneliness is real

I started a new full-time job 3 months ago. My teammates only escalate small mistakes to my boss; I rarely get positive feedback on the things I go above and beyond on. I have a review coming up this week, and I don’t feel secure. A role that I applied to pre-covid became available. I got a verbal offer last week. Should I leave a full-time gig for a temp-perm one? I’ve killed myself to implement constructive feedback but I’m scared it wouldn’t be enough.

Has anyone here worked on CoE/Shared Services - Transformation projects? I have an interview on Wednesday and am looking to better understand the day-to-day role and responsibilities.

Can you take notes on a laptop during a case interview? This sound silly but my handwriting is egregious. At speed, it’s almost illegible and leads to clutter thoughts. I’m a fast typer and was wondering if this would be allowed. Would still draw my structure out on paper

Mobilization

Currently in a Mob, and have been doing completely night shift for 7 month. The command team just announced they would break up the shift again randomly, and send people from night shift to day shift. Is it normal? My life has already used to the grave yard job. If I was made the change, my whole sleeping schedule is messed up badly… Is anyway way I can prevent this from happening? Thanks

Feeling under valued. What do other firms do that allow veterans to be successful?

Does anybody have any experience working with BreakLine? Currently in a federal role and trying to pivot away from the public sector entirely.

Happy birthday all you coast guard, puddle pirate looking nerds, glad to have you in the family!

I’m torn. My current role is great in that I have so much flexibility day to day. However, I’m not being compensated fairly per the market value & I work with one of those types that slips thru the cracks that plays the system.. Anyway, a few people left due to this person. There is also a high turnover as competing companies are paying a lot more.

A recruiter reached out to me regarding a position with awesome pay but schedule is like a set 9-5. For me, it would be a promotion..

Cont’d below.

Are there any other Coasties here?

Any experiences in merging military background with consulting for OCONUS project manager positions? 5 years in the Army as a communications officer and 4 years consulting.

What are the pros and cons for Tricare Reserve Select compared to health insurance from your civilian employer ( specifically in DMV area)?

Was called a “well adjusted” veteran today. So I guess I’ve made it, right?

If you could instantly get paid $2,500+ more dollars a month by accepting an AGR job (in your home town) but would mean giving up civilian career for now would you?

I am at a DoD focused startup that is drafting their military leave policy.

Our PTO is Flexible Leave = they don’t track days worked in return for days off

The draft military leave policy:
- 2 weeks of annual AT can be flex leave
- 2 days allocated a year for PT test

I previously worked at Deloitte and loved their military leave policy, so I am pushing for 2 weeks of AT allowed and 80 hours a year for travel to drill/medical appts/misc days you have to meet active counterparts.

Thoughts?

Getting dinged for relationship counseling at MEPS when trying to join again after six years, honorable discharge. Is it a sign? Should I remain a free man? Worth the waiver? MEPS is mad annoying.

Is it possible to jump to a DoD contractor on the mission side of the IC for $200K? I’m at 4+ YOE in consulting, and simultaneously 4+ YOE as an intel reservist.

I love working the mission but I also want the big paycheck. Am I being unrealistic or is something like this attainable?
