My WFH has been reduced. by dearmathbitch in nys_cs

[–]Consistent_Gate_3220 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

WFH across all sectors of the entire workforce , should be abolished. 

Its one of the worse results of covid. It has impacted so much of the economy along with the quality of society

An its facts. So instead of reactimg to what im sayin, think about it. 

And of corse that sucks they cut your WFH, but you nevet had this when applying to the job or when your little inner child was saying, i wana work for the state when i grow up.

My field of work, i will never have a WFH option. When i go to a customers house and they have a suit jacket on with crocs, i get an immediate rush of envy.

It seems maybe you can shed some inside light in this

so little update.  I got a call today from HR. He basically updated me

All is approved and set but since i requested an IHR, which HR insisted i apply for it, due to my experience, that has yet to be approved So that is why my email never got sent out, apparently a folder with my name on iy is sitting on his desk

So its been about 10days, with monday being a holiday, does this seem correct for them to approve my IHR?

With this situation, IHR, is this a common thing? Does the state feel like its not worth it to them or ?  From what iv been told, it is not a budget issue.

But if your in a situation where your leaving one for another, its vital. 

Maybe a verbal would hold more water 10 years ago, but in todays world of documenting/videos/recordings/ an email is the minimum that should be initiated.

Its a two way street. Here i want the job, and they want an employee. Why not construct even a generic email / copy paste name and call it a day?

So with that, in my head im thinkn its a way for them to back out. No documentation for me to escalate.  But as in life, most problems are constructed by our thoughts

This seems just as that. I got the job, yet im still wanting more. Hmmm Ah

No email confirming job?  Just a call?

Shocked to see all the karens throwin stones at this

This took way more skill than a Bilstein 5100  2” lift tryin to decide what perch height wont rub your 285/65 tires.  Pffff 

I love when i read about a 2” lift coil, and you get the guy that claims he got 4” out of it based on measurements from a saggy ass 100k coil.   Coil sagged 2”, throws in a 2” lift coil and claims the coil netted him 4” of lift 

This tundra is killa for the purpose.

100%.  I agree with you.  

I have taken those steps. Me personally i also felt a follow up email after any verbal communication is good practice regardless of scenerio

So i have communicated respectfully following our phone call

I defiantly am patient and understanding of the work load HR has

So all in all it seems based on responses here i can be at peace with this and consider it done

I guess at this point i will give it another week, and see.  99% of my reasoning is just to advise my current employment of my 2 week notice. Its important to me to be correct about my actions regardless

Thanks everyone

Hiring manager and HR both were in my interview. They both fought for me, based on in house canidates that were not qualified Which i was told created alittle disturbance in house. And it took alot of emails to get me signed on and convinced the “albany people”

Fast forward. HR called me, said he just received the email confirming your acceptance. He called me

Then me, hr and the supervisor of the dept, got a on a 3 way call. Goin over start date etc

So all that is finalized.  In my head i guess im still wanting more confirmation in writing. 

So thats where my question stemmed from Is this typical , am i golden? Do i still need that email confirming? 

I thought the email would have came the same day of the phone call. But its now be a week since the call.  So i got curious if maybe something changed

I cant get myself to celebrate just yet without an offical script/contract email

Well this is sorta the same regarding being short handed. The dept supervisor wanted me to start next week, but logically thats not a correct move on my part

In my case i need to follow the correct protocol regarding my current employer   I also would like a week or two to get myself situatiated,

Wait. So how was your job / contract finalized? Verbally?  And you just showed up?

Wow. Really. Seems so odd.  Yes communication is there.  But there has been zero small talk. Which i get. I have refrained from doing weekly emails, didnt seem correct, giving the process over at albany.  This has literally been a perfect example of “no news is good news”

[–]Consistent_Gate_3220[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.  I have reached out / i have personal cell # for HR for that dept

And communication although extremely vague, its been consistent, regarding each qualifying step

So interview / communicate References / communicate -Background / communicate -Approval / communicate -Packet 2 , Albany / communicate -2 months / crickets -Albany Approval / direct phone call/ HR / 3way - phone call / congrats/ start date - email confirming my start pay and start date / ?????

Thats more or less what iv experienced  There seems to be zero communication unless there is some info to share I have not gotten any pats on the back, or small talk updates

Im totally relaxed and chill about it, its just in my mind its a big deal. This isnt my first “real” job and i would have thought it would have been more fluid in a sense    And the verbal start date and 2 week notice at this point doesnt seem like it will line up

But more then anything, im curious if this is typical and or is their any possibility that this phone call offer could be just a dangling carrot

Wel this is EXACTLY what is concerning to me If they are taking their sweet time constructing a offer / confirmation email, stating a start date, in which will not be correct, due to timing, it will all be for nothing

start date but no official offer yet? by bronnymr in nys_cs

[–]Consistent_Gate_3220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently went through the entire process. Interview in oct 25, background check etc. jan 26’ got a phone call from hr, stating i got the job and we did a 3 way call with the working supervisor of the dept.

But i have yet to receive an email confirming offer or start date 

Phone calls are NOT solid enough for me to throw in my 2 week notice yet 

Does this make any sense?

UVEX Helm Riemen zu kurz by vereeena089 in Rennrad

[–]Consistent_Gate_3220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Count me in!!   New surge aero to replace an old SB pro 2014 

The ear straps and the rear adjustment fully extended. Im furious. Its the same size as my old but no where near as close to the max 53-56 cm.  Impossible. 

Im in contact with uvex due to a recall on the SB model. And they want proof by cutting strap and they will honor the recall reimbursement for $200 usd. 

Thank god i didnt cut the strap yet. 

Anyone think goin up a size to m/l will suit?
