how do you know if you passed the hair follicle drug test? i took the test yesterday, today they just sent me an email about completing the hireright background check

I know this has probably been asked on here a lot. But why don’t they keep supervisors hourly? I feel like more people would want to do it if they got fair pay, actual ot pay and pay for the hour they come in early. And there would be actual supervisors out there worth a damn compared to now a days.

Will be starting as a project management analyst very soon. Anyone else working in that department? What will be my schedule? How do you like it?

Was told today that salary workers will not receive a charge for yesterday’s blackout. So if you were one of the ones who stuck around outside the gate waiting for direction from your supervisor you woke up for nothing. Was told to use PTO to make up the time missed.

How often do a worker get there job back and how long do it take in the third step of the grievance process?

Hey guys, so I was offered a position as a Structural Engineer I in the E50 department during the summer and I finally was able to schedule my start date for the end of October.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the orientation and training is like and maybe give suggestions on ways I could prepare for the job in the coming weeks?
I originally applied as a Mechanical Engineer, but it was suggested that I could be a fit for a Structural Engineer. I did well in Mechanics of Materials and Statics, but I have not taken any FEA and I wouldn't say I fully understood my Dynamics and Vibrations course even though I did pass.

This is going to be my first engineering position, so any help on how not to be a detriment to my department would be appreciated.

anyone paid in checks until direct deposit started - do your checks come on time? i’m salary btw

I was wondering if anyone works a second job while being at the yard? The holidays are coming up and i want to pay off some stuff so i thought a second job part time would be a good idea but idk.

Ive been looking into joining the apprenticeship school in my city newport news near the shipyard in the down town area. Ive been nervous and unsure about it all but didnt want to waste my time waiting.

Im terribly bad at math, I looked on the website to look at equations that students would need to complete. I looked at it and felt souped with myself because I know im terrible at math, im a grown man and struggle with multiplication, division, and subtraction.

Is it possible to still enter the apprenticeship school and still pursue a career in the shipyard somehow?

EDIT: also what is required of you in the shipyard?

Apply for internal jobs? I can’t get into myhr

Hi all, does anyone do this job or have any knowledge of what the job is like? Reading some of the job postings, but they are very vague and say exactly the same thing regardless of the department it’s in.

Anyone work in O04 or know what it’s like there?
