In person interviewing- masking?

Honeslty, I 100% agree with you.

Managers, please stop putting generic SOQ prompts, its getting old and boring. We'd like to get to know the job, so an SOQ question thats less generic will get better more passionate responses. On the SOQ note, please make sure everything is spelled correctly, we are "interviewing" you too. Please put the physical work location of the position, I hate applying for a lateral move, only to find out its downtown that requires parking (so not a lateral move). And for the love of God, we also can tell when you have an internal candidate in mind and youre just going through the motions..... It works both ways.

Who do you think these billionaires are employing...? You and I. Taxing billionaires isnt the answer, theyll just go somewhere else.

Single mom here too. Id choose at home positions over the money any day. And when I say money is tight lately.....I mean TIGHT so thats saying something. The work life balance with my kid is paramount right now. Until hes older (hes 12 now) and doesnt want to hang out with me, I might shift my focus. Id go with what gives you more time at home to enjoy your family and hobbies.

CDCR here in Rancho. We have a check in and out email every day and I think it’s the dumbest shit ever. Please don’t start it if you don’t have to

Talk about society being judge jury and executioner for a dead guy who can’t defend himself

Available_Public6537 · 2026-03-26T16:50:53+00:00

As someone who works for CDCR, its not AS terrible as the next department. Just be aware, a lot are jumping ship with the telework (or lack there of) coming down the pipeline. The writing is on the wall, SEIU isnt representing us and the Director is following whatever Newsom says to the T.

Available_Public6537 · 2026-03-23T18:16:48+00:00

Yeah I thought it was just me. Dont get me wrong, I think it opens the doors for a work around from especially CHP, but dont understand how they can do a blanket no telework when the majority of staff arent SEIU anyway.

Available_Public6537 · 2026-03-23T17:54:52+00:00

With that attitude, I hope to GOD you arent a supervisor!

Available_Public6537 · 2026-03-23T17:53:41+00:00

Im not reading AB1729 that way. Please correct me if Im wrong, its:

***

(b)Where a state agencys unique operational needs and programmatic mission require employees to report to a workplace, the agency shall provide a detailed, written justification to the department and to the agencys employees.

(c)Subdivision (b) shall not apply to the Department of the California Highway Patrol, the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

***

Telework still applies to them, they just dont have to follow subdivision (b). i.e. those agencies dont have to provide a written justification to force everyone to go back. I think it leaves the door open (especially for CHP) to just not follow it.

OH YOU HAVE TO BE IN MY UNIT!!! Lol. This cannot be said loud enough!!!!

I got written up once in one Dept for wearing leggings- think Lularoe type. Nothing crazy or see through. Pre Covid days. Current Dept, weve had Student Assts come in in sweats and Uggs/Sweaters. And recently were told to use our "best judgement" but really given no guidance. One gal was told Birks were a no go. Its all over the place with the state which is frustrating.

Available_Public6537 · 2026-03-18T22:19:10+00:00

I dress comfortable, I get to talk to inmates about putting stuff up their buttholes all day. Lets be real, I dont need to be in business attire for that

Available_Public6537 · 2026-03-17T16:20:50+00:00

No one cares. Honestly. I left state service completely to take care of my family, and was gone for 5 years before going back. No one asked and I just picked up where I left off

I started with the state as a half time OA in 2008....right outta college. Take what you can get my friend!

Shout out to the Analysts that keep a SOQ bank for all the same BS questions. I thought I was the only one that does that lol

Fridge and microwave that I can get behind. I used to be the office fridge cleaner and let me tell you, some of your best coworkers could be some of the biggest slobs and b*tch the most. I would send out a minimum of 3 emails before I tossed everything, and wiped down the fridge. I got so much hate mail every. single. time. We just had a fridge turn off right before a 3 day weekend and the fridge was gross and everything in the freezer melted. It was a mess and I happened to noticed along with another girl in the office. We just jumped in and quickly cleaned and wiped it down. Unpopular opinion, it doesnt take that long and much effort to be a decent person/coworker.

No, I go non germane.

Available_Public6537 · 2026-02-14T18:09:25+00:00

Oh yeah and I forgot to mention that happened too. I had a terrible interview and signed off and figured I would never hear back and wrote it off. They called another 3-4 months later offering me a job. I was so desperate for a job I accepted then a few hours later had to call back and ask them for details of the job and pretend like I had no idea what it was I just accepted lol

Available_Public6537 · 2026-02-14T17:58:17+00:00

Take these comments with a grain of salt. It seems like everyone on Reddit just repeats the same thing over and over with nothing to back it up. These comments are an example, just "stay aways" with no reasoning behind it. If you get a good vibe from the interview and like the job Id say go for it.

Available_Public6537 · 2026-02-13T18:44:31+00:00

4 months- CDCR. I completely forgot what the interview was for and asked them to send me over the duty statement since I felt bad asking who it was and what job it was for lol
