That's fine with me.
Now can I please give preference to the kinds of people I want to hire? Seems only fair....

If a PD and job requirements are written correctly you shouldn't have any issues doing that . . . the Federal hiring process is just a little more complicated than for many private businesses.

I really appreciate everyone for the support. It’s very comforting knowing I can come on here and be apart of such a great community of men and women. We disagree about things sometimes but in the end most of us all want the same things. Just know how much it means to me. God bless you all.

I've been fired before. It seemed hopeless at the time but as soon as one door closes to you another window of opportunity opens up. You just have to have the vision to see it.

A college buddy found out about their loss of my services and quickly hired me into a higher position and much better pay and working conditions. We even shared a duplex house so I could save on rent. The situation was unique because as he was working I was his backup and vice versa.

Not surprised. Once you become a director at the chickasaw nation they have you sign your resignation letter.
In all of their employment adds it say "Chickasaw Preference"
If you are chickasaw and you get written up or are a problem child in the department you work in they just move you some where else, they dont fire you.

Do you remember in the late 90s or early 2000s when they cleaned house at Carl Albert? There were a LOT of people who got the axe that day. My brother was in his first or second year working there as a dentist and got lucky.

I believe in Oklahoma you can be fired any time for no reason. It is not against the law.
Unless you have a contract then it's a little different.

Knowing this makes a person really pinch pennies.
Sorry to hear of the termination of your wife.
Good things are usually around the corner, have faith.

This is partially correct. Companies have to document all kinds of crap to CYA, because if you fire someone that's classified as too weak to compete with everyone else, they can sue for discrimination. Those categories of "needing a different standard" have expanded to include just about every stripe of hominid except white heterosexual males under the age of forty.

At least with them saying "employment at will", there should be no issue getting unemployment.
I hope your right. If she don’t get it we will be losing everything we have worked so hard for. I’m trying to have faith like everyone says but it sure is hard to do. I was fired from my last job but it allowed me to get in with ONG which is the best job I’ve ever had. But she was very high up and made way more money than what she will ever be able to get somewhere else. And her benefits were almost the same as tinker. I am just tired of all the stress of life. I’m so sick to my stomach right now it ain’t even funny. I just don’t know what we are gonna do.
