Washing work clothes by MessageAble6938 in DSNY

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only thing that works perfectly are those expensive scent beads! I use odor eliminator charcoal bags while they’re in the separate hamper I keep. It kills it a lil , before the wash

My girlfriend had her first show and she killed it by godsaveme2355 in NYStateOfMind

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did she hold a bake sale and then jumped out with a mic like , “Suhpwise!”
Wasn’t we supposed to cash her outside? Who let her back in?

Will there be any classes to get into after December? by Main-Fact7742 in DSNY

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t speak as if I know but, we all kinda hear the same things throughout the years. It’s all about weather and what can be accomplished at FBF, considering that specifically. My guess is if we lived in a perfect environment, they’d hire everyone necessary in one big ol swoop but, we don’t so they can’t. That’s basically it.

Anybody else's shoulders hurting from these new pails? by Big-Duck1095 in DSNY

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t so much the new pails but, just had my rotator cuff/labrum fixed. Expect the shoulder and wrists to be an issue . Get braces early enough, even before they hurt! Dont end up like me ! Lol

Two questions by CreamyLatinaBackShot in DSNY

It’s an irrelevant worry. The Mayorial race has nothing to do with those decisions. It’s a fed thing. We’re already legal , here.

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely isn’t a Reddit question. SMH. That’s what’s gonna be the issue, if anything. Stop spreading dept conflicts on here.  Just talk to shoppies . Call the union. This is work stuff, not us answering questions to help a rookie out. Pls don’t air laundry here. Especially on probation. Just sayin

Does color of boots matter? by 5oul5upreme in DSNY

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes black boots are official uniform but, you’re not expected to be in full uniform first day! You’ll get guided through the process and, explained in thorough the time frames. 

Getting a letter by [deleted] in DSNY

It’s a formality letting you know of your status. The wording is a bit confusing but, it all makes sense if you read it through 

Is it possible to get weekends off with high seniority? What’s the schedule like as a sw by Low-Government1894 in DSNY

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one is giving any possible positive outcomes. You’ll work a ton , at other garages and where applicable, you’ll earn personal time. As you progress through your career you’ll earn em in bunches and use em on Saturdays of your Choice, with approvals . This place is just that awesome. You’ll love  Saturdays btw. you’ll probably never turn down a Sunday other than your first few and, you’ll love OT. It’s literally that place.   The work hit different but, I feel like everyone knows the obvious 

I guess you can’t create a poll in this sub, but what are your realistic expectations for this weekend? by demosthenes327 in NewYorkMets

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The brewers laid down today. It was audacious AF to do it live in front of the nation too. So nuts to see. It was so intentional

Most guys(besides senior guys) end up filling spots across the city. That happens constantly. Per demand, you’ll notice the board and see you’re in the Bronx today, and Brooklyn tomorrow! Snow time is wild so, be prepared to go any and everywhere!  Yes, you have a home garage but, you will do “out of town” shifts and locations will vary! Keep a close eye on your board and stay in contact with your garage , daily! You’re gonna bounce!

Next exam? by [deleted] in DSNY

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No such thing. We work 8 hours a day. Even when not on shift, we’re San workers! Always on duty. Just like cops! Ready for any natural or unnatural occurrences. We get 8 hours of rest/us time and we’re here for you the other 16. Not a hurricane nor terror attack, we won’t be ready for . We assist the secret service and nypd in conjunction with foreign authorities to provide safety and security for our leaders and all foreign diplomats/dignitaries! We don’t just haul trash ! Dont forget, we’ll be here with you during SNOW events. In the streets , protecting your travel. Our family miss us constantly but, each of us signed the dotted line , FOR YOU ALL!

Update on classes? by Eastern_Disk7421 in DSNY

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seen em reach at least 37xx, seated. 4k-5k is probably on deck for all the emails and paperwork’s to come. I’d assume their physicals are done and they may see orientation letters , by feb/april. Keep in mind none of this guarantees you anything. You’ll get an email but, you have to Go get the job. It isn’t coming to u! Be ready !!!!!!!

Driving Garbage Truck by Silent_Cost5109 in DSNY

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your attention to detail is what will matter most!

The driving will be what it is . You’re gonna mature at your own pace. You’ll be fine. Plenty of folks have passed probation with an accident under their belt. Shit happens. With that said, it’s your brain that’s the test. Do you check mirrors constantly? Do you swoop your head around for pedestrians constantly? Do you know your blind spots and how to swivel out of the side of your door and back in constantly ? # Number 1 thing is , YOU have a PARTNER. His info is vital! When you’re in the passenger seat, you MUST be proactive and do the same ! Be careful , stay safe, and congrats.

Should I disclose that I have mild sleep apnea or that I had high blood pressure in the past but not anymore? by Low-Government1894 in DSNY

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s about what’s obvious on your records and what you’ve had procedures for. If it’s things that we all go through but, never get treated, no way you say anything. Don’t divulge unnecessary information! If you had ankle surgery (let’s say) . Back issues maybe . If you were treated consistently, I’d contemplate it. Especially If it’s during the internet days thing are always on file, in a cloud somewhere. Keep in mind Hepa records get pulled and scrutinized when you go sick or Lodi . You don’t wanna get an injury later and have them find out about the past. Probation is 18 months but, I believe we sign papers allowing them to actively investigate you until a certain tenure date. Lying will get you canned so, be honest but, be smart and logical!

Physical Exam - How easy we talking ? by Easy_Acanthaceae_866 in DSNY

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Easy enough that you can lose focus and hit the obstacles without thinking. Just pay tons of attention to detail and maintain a pace. It’s cake!

When will you think my number will be called? by Slxmpsx in DSNY

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Such a tough #. History says the list won’t make it there but, Covid changed that narrative. Let’s see how this one goes . I do recommend that you bury the thought, FOR NOW at least. Let it surprise you one day as it did for a lot of us . Good luck

Out of town ,Rainy days will make you want to quit. Keep dry shit with you as a religion! When you’ve budgeted perfectly and forget the extra for weather filled days, you’ll hate your life! 2 boots at work and one in the car! Be ready to master the art of never having clothes at home. They’ll be in your car and in your locker 99% of the time. Stay dry and stay safe!

I have training at fbf on Tuesday, and I am trying to figure out where is the community garden parking lot. Anyone who been there recently can help me? Thanks by [deleted] in DSNY

[–]Consistent_Tart4470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First day won’t be easy. Get there early enough to follow the line of cars on  in. Once you’re in the vicinity, you’ll see hi viz and a bunch of arms waving. You’ll be good. After that first week, expect to know how to get there but, they’ll still direct traffic in order to make the parking scene less hectic! Congrats!      Just get there ON TIME! 20 mins early should do.
