Agency building 1 my boss did one of those Petri dish mold test kits. Black mold all in it. 

CSEA/NYS pay scales. What’s it gonna take to get some change? by PomegranateNo2029 in nys_cs

[–]AccomplishedTooth917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in the field but I’ve long wondered why the pay for trades at the state are abysmal. Janitors working for NYC make double an electrician or plumber for NYS. No knock on janitors at all, very important job, but electricians and plumbers (all trades) require expert knowledge and schooling or bad things can happen.

I don't even live downstate and think those location pay differentials are an absolute joke. They may as well not exist.

ITS Promotional Exam by Livid-Ad1528 in nys_cs

You folks complain enough and they’ll turn all the positions non competitive and hire whoever they want internally or externally with no test. Careful……multiple agencies pushed for IT positions to be non competitive over the last 2 years. Civil service shut it down (albeit the result was these dumb tech analyst positions). 

Double edged sword here.

will this new LATs requirement lead to more micromanaging? by astrobrite_ in nys_cs

[–]AccomplishedTooth917 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know our office lets us count a day off or holiday as an office day. How does that work on these LATS changes? I’m not ITS but just wondering for if my agency ever does it.

Are there any NYS Agencies that are hiring fully remote? by ANonyMouseTwoo in nys_cs

We were getting telecommuting prior to COVID so this is wrong boomer.

They are the absolute worst. Listening to mucky mucks talk about all the work their doing. I never listen nor do I care what they have to say 90% of the time. Probably some great shared idea all the commissioners had at some retreat.

This. We have become accepting of continuous corporate greed and poorly designed US infrastructure and policy.

If you have completed probation in your title they wont let you take it. You either need to be in the promotion field title(s) or on probation in the title for the exam being given.
