- ozim 2y agoBut military doesn’t and shouldn’t retain talent. You should go there for 5-10years if you are a poor shmuck so they train you, get some value from you and that’s it.
- FpUser 2y ago>"if you are a poor shmuck" Sounds like you are really proud of your military. Well it might reflect how the things really work anyways. They should put it on their recruitment offices: "if you are a poor shmuck - come to us"
- Aeolun 2y agoI’m really happy that my military is a team of professionals that are there because they want to be.
- ozim 2y agoMost of 18-25 year olds are poor shmucks. Ask around who has their own apartment at 20-something and what their prospects are. Military is one of valid options to improve their lives .
- relaxing 2y agoWhat the hell, man. How would any entity function if the institutional memory was 5-10 years tops?
- ozim 2y agoPeople hand over the knowledge all the time. It is not like everyone quits at the same time.
- bigfatkitten 2y agoThe military's staff retention is relatively long. 5-10 years is an eternity in a tech company, and very few people hang around that long.
- relaxing 2y agoMaybe in the FAANG/SV startup bubble where the companies have barely existed that long to begin with. Apple has lifers. Microsoft even more so.
