Been awhile with no posts.
Has anyone seen anything new on this? Am wondering how this is playing out with the current situation we are in. Seems a bit out there to go on about recruiting and retention issues resulting in trades at 84% strength while releasing members that can still function at their desk. The old logic of we need the position for rotating people off ships, from deployments, for promotions, experience, etc just is not applicable to some trades currently. Add to that the lack of desire to be posted to some locations and you are really creating a mess by releasing someone you could keep in place at least until things improve. That HRA/FSA that can still work the 40+ hours a week is not hurting anything by retention at this time.
