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?

D1, I just don’t trust how army reserve operates lol. I have seen the order in the system for my unit tho. I will just wait and see.

Sounds like you got the WARNO. Pack your bags. Duty calls, brother.

The rest will have to wait.

Warning order. I.e. you will be cut your orders soon.

I would continue job hunting. Legally employers can not discriminate against you based on this. I’m sure you could work something out with your commander/prospective employer for interviews

What state is that reservist are being activated?

Cali

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?

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?

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’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..

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?
