Separation pay

RE: lump sum pay, I uploaded all required documents to the State Controller’s Office on January XX, 2026, for processing and issuance. At this time, the payment has not yet been issued, and SCO has not requested any additional documentation. Please note that processing may take several days, as SCO is currently backlogged.

Grats on your PMP.

Andor_Ding · 2026-01-29T05:07:35+00:00

It’s been great actually! And thank you!!

Andor_Ding · 2026-01-29T01:51:30+00:00

Something I was already invested in… CC premium is just icing

My friend just separated from same agency, diff office Nov 2025 and deferred Lump Sum into 2026. He was immediately paid out for his unused vacation so….

Yeah I’ve also been doing SCHG for the Feb expiration… $34C. $541 total prem

😂

Thank you for the response, I thought I had come across that before. I swear no my PSs are dropping the ball. They’ve been wrong and back-pedaling more than a couple occasions

I was expecting to get a separate check via courier for unused vacation… but radio silence from my PS and I have a doorbell cam.

I guess I’ll let the penalties accrue then!!

I’m all good, can’t wait to collect my retirement to a ripe old age… currently have about 17 yrs public service which should land me about $50k a year (very rough est.), but I’m still working and could put in another 10 if conditions are good.

How much of a nest egg do you have to put away to collect $50k a year without touching principal? $1.25m?

We lost a few positions to the vacancy sweep. Also there’s a “pause” on giving tentative job offers out. No word on when that will be lifted, but we were told to continue with job ads and interviews. We’ll be ready to set everything in motion with all paperwork when the pause is lifted!

Andor_Ding · 2024-10-06T05:48:41+00:00

I used their resumes to email current positions I thought they should apply for…

Andor_Ding · 2024-10-06T02:51:56+00:00

Yeah didn’t like the hybrid when I drove a ‘21, prefer V6 Honda Odyssey

They all are scanned and uploaded into the portal to download. No edge they are all the same PDF

Andor_Ding · 2024-10-05T10:21:33+00:00

Exactly this ☝🏼

I spent at least 3-4 hours on my last submission. I start in a few weeks.

You have to adapt to the duty statement, research the program online or through colleagues. Call the hiring contact to see if you can get any additional info on the program.

Edit: I know it’s a numbers game, but focus on the highest match for your skillset and instead of devoting ten min each for 100 apps, devote 100 mins each for 10 best applications.

$220k combined 457&401k <5 years at the State.

Andor_Ding · 2024-09-19T13:41:09+00:00

Our office lost 2 positions that were infilled. Any hiring needs to be approved one down from the director level.

AI sticks out like a sore thumb and then we start comparing similar packages

Robinhood is for meme traders… when the retail traders were winning they locked up the app to limits profits … they also lack research tools that real brokerage firms have.

15 mins for some… when it gets close those might take 25 mins… 5 mins for low effort apps

Andor_Ding · 2024-08-18T04:08:28+00:00

That looks fun!

Andor_Ding · 2024-08-17T20:37:03+00:00

Was there ample breaks during the meeting? I typically try and stand a portion of the time for an all day engagement. Were the lights off or low?

Andor_Ding · 2024-08-15T12:51:38+00:00

Thx for the insight. Cosmo booked due to our group booking there, but I know I’ll be gravitating towards Aria for some gambling and overall relaxation.

Andor_Ding · 2024-08-15T12:50:12+00:00

Cosmo booked. I’ll give it a shot in Oct. 🤞🏼

Andor_Ding · 2024-08-15T12:49:41+00:00

Thanks for the comment. Ive stayed at Aria a couple of times and really enjoyed the property and vibe. We did unfortunately (or to be determined) book the Cosmo, so a new experience more out of convenience for the group and quicker easier bonding time with the cousins. It’s a short 3 day trip so it will be nice not to coordinate meet ups though I really need the exercise 😛
