I Lost My Space Force Job

[@thomasryan2679]

You're a smart and talented man. Good luck towards a prompt recovery.

[@Bettysue730]

DEI needs to be removed anyway. Best of luck

[@robert_douglas]

Never too late to join the skilled trades, I think you'd make a good plumber.

[@pitmac1]

Well one positive thing is only a new chapter begins. Glad you had other back up plans! I know a lot of people that don’t. Best wishes on your next journey!

[@05glisedan]

So you'll have a second retirement? Not a bad gig.

[@donnaedwards9255]

Hi Hugo. As another comment, thought you were in 'finance something'. Fortunately, your resume covers other fields. Best of luck.

[@TrevieTrev]

Keep your head up sir! I am in the Air Force Reserves and I work for TSA(my first yr for both) we are going through similar changes in the field but I am staying positive and not putting all my eggs in one basket.

Look DEI was not good for any organization I hope best of luck.

[@travismccutchan3144]

I respect you and your channel, however I can’t say I’m sorry to see DEI go.

[@hannibalthe1st565]

DEI "Didn't Earn It" has led to women and minorities often having it easier than caucasian males because of historical grievances or injustices. For example, its much easier for an African American woman to get an OTS slot with a lower gpa than a caucasian man and promotions are clearly race based at times. You got a great channel here Hugo and hopefully you can get that early retirement. I feel u deserve it having been laid off multiple times. The woke policies of the last administration have to be reversed as race and gender quotas are driving people nuts. Your channel has done a ton of good and is an inspiration to many!

[@stealthboy5767]

No offense man, but I'm glad you lost your job. Not because you don't deserve a job or I hate you. None of that, you're intelligent and I hope you find a real job. But DEI? yeah.. sorry. That needs to be done away with.

[@LucigooseyX]

You sound like a very educated man, DEI was not good a good thing for this country, I wish you good luck in finding another job soon.

[@aytviewer2421]

Thanks to "DEI" initiatives, you will likely have a problem getting a new job simply because of your race, gender, and age. It doesn't matter how good you are in your field, you will almost certainly experience discrimination because of the last four years of DEI. Think about that and let it sink in.

[@edwardwnewland]

My experience, unfortunately, with "DEI" in the military has been that 1. It has been poorly implemented into every briefing, class, etc. even when not necessary to the subject. 2. Has affected retainability, many people don't like how they feel like it is being shoved down their throats and not reenlisting as a result among other things. (luckily in mechanical career fields its not too bad) and 3. That it done more harm than good and creates victim mentalities and awards certain people things they otherwise shouldn't get. The military has always been "the great equalizer" historically, and i don't really view these policies as necessary. It's too bad you lost your job, and I believe you were surely one of the best people in your position. I had an experience in a certain briefing where I was told directly by the instructor that I couldn't legitimately hold the view i did about the subject due to my race and gender. That, to me, is the opposite of what DEI was created for, but seems to be the result.

[@yourmilitarymoney]

My preference was to have constructive conversations. I enjoyed my time in the program and am looking forward to the unknown future. I have a few options but am hoping on retiring immediately from the work force. Hopefully this situation gets me there in the near future.

[@jutman17761]

I thought you were in financial education?

[@yourmilitarymoney]

From 2009 to 2015.

[@jutman17761]

@ I’m sorry to hear you and others lost your job. That’s never a good thing. Did that financial education job turn into the Diversity, Equity, and inclusion position? If true that lines up with my theory that DEI appeared in our lexicon soon after Occupy Wall Street as a distraction as they kicked the can down the road. My feeling is that TRUE financial education makes DEI null and void. You want to lift people out of poverty and create a more level playing field let’s see True financial education. Especially in our school system Pre-School through Senior Year of high school hour a day 5 days a week. Not just “balancing a check book” I mean saving, investing, spending, economics, central banks, government spending, cryptocurrency, career, student loans, car loans, groceries etc. etc. .. Unfortunately they will never do that as the powers that be don’t want the populace to be truly educated on things that actually matter or things that will TRULY change their lives and their family tree.
