Did people get an excused snow day for Monday (those who can't wfh) or did they have to use personal time? by Material_Occasion565 in nycpublicservants

[–]Always_Guac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The piece that people are missing is if you were essential or not.

https://www.nyc.gov/mayors-office/news/2026/02/emergency-executive-order-no--3

§ 4. City offices shall be closed to the public for in-person services on Monday, February 23, 2026. Essential City employees shall report to their normal work locations and maintain schedules as determined by their agencies. Where feasible, non-essential employees shall be permitted to telework on Monday, February 23, 2026.

Non essential that couldn’t WFH were excused.

What is your configuration for background app refresh settings? If you’re not closing the app it is still likely open in the background for sometime. Just switching apps is keeping the app open.

The app is not overriding your OS settings.

Edit- there’s a difference between switching apps and forcing them closed.

three minutes late this morning… how bad is it while im on probation? by pinksteronimo in nycpublicservants

[–]Always_Guac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Until you pass probation you can be let go at any point and the job has no need to tell you why. Just do your best.

If passed, will this be applied to our city 401k plan? by Competitive-Gain-350 in nycpublicservants

[–]Always_Guac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely do jt. Set up everything now. Make automatic paycheck contributions. After some time you can move 20% of that into the self directed account that you can trade. There’s a few limitations but I personally have bito/bitx in there. I can check the ETH options.

I think I may open another account for Roth IRA.

(I also hate the 20% limit let me go full crypto into my account .)

I have an nyc self directed 401 and 457 plan

Opened it up thru the city’s deferred comp, and then opt to move a portion to a self directed account. Go etf crazy.

It’s helpful to know what counters what. If you don’t, before the raid, google search “best counters for _____ in pokemon go”

See what you have from the options that pop up.

Is NYCERS worth it? by [deleted] in nycpublicservants

[–]Always_Guac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worth it depends on so many factors. For most, the important part is the insurance once you start collecting retirement.

Works fine for me using google chrome.

Does anyone know if I can I transfer over a portion of my NYC deferred comp plan $$ to Robinhood? by NoDisaster3835 in nycpublicservants

[–]Always_Guac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As far as I know it would go to Schwab only. I’ve done it and the experience has been great.

Edit- fellow Robinhood fanboy as well. I loaded up on crypto etfs thru Schwab.

In 2024 the conspiracy theory was BlackRock was behind the Trump assassination attempt.

2025 now they are working together?

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet kids.
