I read that. She also mentions a $50,000 USD signing on bonus, and said her commanding officer said she'd be put on logistics for a time.

In this economy, one must wonder how long they could do less than mediocre work (judging by their sloppy hiring process), take the money, and then bounce. But then you'd have to say you worked for them and that's gonna look bad. And then you could never say you were never one of the fascists who supported the regime, even if it was just to pay off/down student loans.

I could be mistaken, but I think that you have to serve for either six months or a year in order to qualify for the $50,000 signing bonus

also its installments so its more like a yearly bonus for a few years.

That would make sense.

Yeah. I’ve heard of these at other places, and they always come with a minimum service requirement or whatever. You don’t just get it on day one when you sign up.

Really makes you wonder with the incompetence, how long could you last just not doing shit before they figure it out and fire you?

Then reapply, probably get rehired, and do it all again.

I call that the restaurant employee method. If you ever worked in one you know the same people are rotated around the town eventually ending up at each restaurant and back again.
