My other half works for an aerospace company headed by a “highly polarizing” individual and is trying to get me to join him for a few years. I’m qualified with my material and coatings background for a few different departments but I’m leery of Texas and supporting the nutcase after he’s done damage to LGBT rights.

How do I reconcile my love of space and the mission with that?

In a million years I would never work in Texas, or live there, or travel there. That state is literally killing women with its total abortion bans, is purging eligible voters from the voter rolls, has one of the nation's highest maternal mortality rates, ranks 37th out of 50 states in education quality, and more.

What a slop of a comment! There are tons of gay businesses, clubs, restaurants— no one is taking away anyone’s rights. Almost every business has pro LGBT policies and no one bothers anyone. You don’t have to have purple hair to believe in equality. Meanwhile business is booming, no state taxes, low gas prices, cheap eats and trendy bars, tons of nature, Hill Country weekends, and they are building more homes for those who want to stay ! We don’t want you!

Nice.

Jobs don't have to last forever and another individuals opinions are theirs and theirs alone if the pay is good enough just go for it, keep your inner thoughts inside your head, take them for their money until your satisfied, then screw. Money is the same value and color no mater who the individual is that's handing it out. He'll when you're done you can use that money they gave you to lobby against them as a final act to Stiff them. It's people who fight stupid rhetoric with their own rhetoric that keeps the fire of biases stoked.

My wife had similar concerns (we moved from NJ to DFW)… it’s really not that bad and she actually loves living here… she was concerned about abortion rules (there’s no law against you going to another state to secure an abortion if that’s what you truly want)… Abbott just passed a bill on clarity in healthcare around abortions to clear up the grey areas that existed…

I’m actually passionate about the LGBTQ+ market, as I self identify as bisexual and have several friends who identify as gay… again, it’s not that bad if you live in DFW, Austin Metro, San Antonio Metro or Houston Metro… basically where most people want to live… 😂

But these are concerns that should be brought up with your SO…

I got an offer at Nokia, and my new manager said that she wanted to put me in the higher salary bracket however the HR insisted that we lowered the range. That caused me to receive a much lower salary than expected. Should I renegotiate even when my manager said that she tried giving me more. Does HR really play that big of a role in this?
