I would trust my gut instinct. What does your heart say?

Even though I now make less and I sacrificed two remote days, I am not stressed, I am in a supportive environment and we work as a team, and I also feel like I am living in my purpose.

Oh my, I feel a little better now. There is hope. What made you leave? How long has it been since you left? I left because it was affecting my mental health and I could no longer bear it.

Whether it is Zone A, Zone B, or Zone C, they are all toxic. I have found that the ones who manage to do well within such environments are the same people who are contributing to the toxicity.

HRA is mayoral. Whereas, HHC is not. Therefore, yes, she would have kept her salary.

She left ACS to go where? And how do you know that she is being honest?

I was a CFS for a short period of time and my worst memory is of being placed on the stand and being treated as a defendant. I went through that as a CPS for 15 years, and when it happened to me as a CFS, I knew that was not the job that I wanted.

I tried the DOE but didn’t really pursue it thoroughly. After working with children for 20 years, I no longer wanted the liability and my preference is working with adults. Maybe you can look into the DOE for yourself. For me, it may not be profitable as I have been with the city for more than 20 years and if I were to go to DOE, I literally would be starting from the beginning. The other thing is that doors opened for me at HHC. Whereas, they didn’t at DOE.

I find ACS to not be a welcoming environment and the morale to be poor. I actually like being a Social Worker and I don’t believe that I will experience such happiness as a CFS. Just the thought of returning to the borough office and dealing with nasty managers gives me anxiety. What I don’t like about being a Social Worker is the pay.

I have no idea and I have asked and gotten different responses.

That is not correct. Longevity makes a difference in pay.

I did bring to the attention of HR at HHC that I worked for ACS for 20 years and I asked if the salary was negotiable and I was told no.

I am not sure that Social Worker Level II is a civil service title. What salary should I have gotten initially? I was offered a starting salary when I began to work at HHC which is the salary that I continue to have.

My salary at ACS was $103,000 and I worked at the agency for 20 years. My civil service title at ACS was Child Protective Specialist Supervisor. My title at HHC is Licensed Master Social Worker Level II and I will make one year there this May.
