Jobless and Frustrated NTers check in VOL. WE NOT-WORKIN!!!

[mplsdunk]

Just voted on our contract which passed.

4.75% raise 2023 and back pay.
5% 2024
5.35% 2025

They also put in the contract if they don’t notify you for work at least 24 hours before if it’s not a regular shift you don’t have to show up. nice won’t affect me now but could have used that at my last company.

^^^Congrats.

We need more union jobs in America.


...

 

[mplsdunk]

Thanks man.

Wish people would seriously consider organizing, it’s not just for crappy jobs like Amazon or McDonald’s.

I like my job and I like being union, who wouldn’t want democracy in the workplace?

If you're drug free the Military Sealift Command is ALWAYS hiring. Here is a link to their upcoming job fairs which they hold all over the country. People who work for MSC are civilian mariners who sail around the globe in support of the U.S. Navy. It's a beautiful thing and you will make bank.

MSC: Military Sealift Command

MSC careers are some of the best in the maritime industry. That’s because we combine job security with training and advancement opportunities. This combination will take your career further, faster than you thought possible. Considering that this path includes federal benefits, paid leave...

sealiftcommand.com

If you are under 40 years old, drug free, and healthy, consider the active or reserve components of any of the six branches of U.S. Military. It is a great chance to turn your life around and leave a legacy. Provided you retire, it is also a great way to begin generational wealth. Even better if you have a degree as you will make bank in the service. Few things on a resume look better than "Military Officer".

As a reminder, federal service comes with a pension after 20 years which is VERY rare in 2023. Happy hunting; I hope all my brothers and sisters get this paper.

Just a heads up. Tip from my boy who is a recruiter. Have your resume in PDF, not as a word document.

I always send it as a PDF first then they request a Word version.

Ups drivers don’t make 170k.

That’s what their benefits and pay is.

Yeah
I like what I do. The amount of flexibility and resources that's allotted to me is insane.

I think it's more so, myself, needing to learn new things and getting back into the trenches.

I'm learning programming now, I going BIG and will shoot for a big tech company/startup.

Big tech pays from 100k to 1m base pay as engineers. Not including stock compensation/bonuses/sign on/

Not sure if I'll be able to make this happen.. but willing to try.

Start going after promotions/new role(s)/paid conferences/education etc. When you're comfortable and bored, aim for that next leap that'll get you some more compensation. Should be some form of advancements you can pursue
