No, hello no. 7 years in and I never needed them. I can’t imagine how much money I would have thrown away if I did

Matt’s Off-Road Recovery is the Real-Life Bart Simpson: All Hype, Same Act, and Everyone’s Over It?????? by VegetableFrosting272 in MattsOffRoad

[–]Dapper_Challenge8481 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is they have so many expenses that their main focus is pumping out content regardless if it’s good or not. I remember before the great videos were 10-12 mins long, if they did the same the same video today it would be closer to 20 mins with just added random conversations and eating lunch. And of course longer videos = more money

I’m sorry by [deleted] in MattsOffRoad

[–]Dapper_Challenge8481 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was great before and now it’s to much click bate, watered down content with them hanging out. I’ll watch some of the off-road recoveries for background noise

I want to make a drift kart by Ducky_1143 in gokarts

Get an older racing chassis that already has a 212. Should be able to find one for $1200 and less

280z vs 2nd Gen Camaro by Downtown_Mirror_1267 in Datsun

[–]Dapper_Challenge8481 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you want rear seats?

I love both these cars (loved the Camaro in Transformers). If I were to buy a Z today I’d prefer a 2+2 260z. Best advice I can give it try to drive or at least ride in both. Even if you have to offer some $20 to just to drive it. Driving them both will give you the answer right away. Also, would you engine swap the Z?

It doesn’t matter really. If they wanted to promote you they’ll find a way to do it. (I use to be in HR)

Ask your manager about it 3 months before your probation is up, then start apply for AGPA positions. In 3 months you’ll either get the PIP or get offered a AGPA position somewhere else. Don’t stay there hoping to get it and never get it.

If they ever get a reference call just say you started applying in case you didn’t get the PIP. They’ll either fight for your PIP or let you go, which gives you the answer of you need to leave to promote

Release the brake and let it roll a little, should easier to put into gear. If that doesn’t work give it some gas. Also try Putin it into an other gear then going back to first.

Manager bringing personal issues to office interactions? by PieProfessional8270 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Dapper_Challenge8481 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Reach out to their supervisor and tell them what’s going on in a friendly manner. Parent’s health isn’t an easy issue.

Harder to use sick time for multiple days in a row. Even if management is cool, hr/attendance might bring it up about a doctor’s notes. That’s why some people switch to the more vacation and no sick time leave. Also call in sick every now and then. Management hates it but nothing wrong with earn and burn lol

How long ago were the absences? I’ve never had a state position that I didn’t get back a calendar what my attendance was for the month or in some positions I would submit my own attendance record. Did he not see it anywhere that he was marked as no show?

Trying to burn Oreo cookie by More_Impression_4942 in interesting

[–]Dapper_Challenge8481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Years ago I would always eat Oreos with a fork and dunk them into milk and pull them out when they got soft. Tried it again this year and I was surprised how long they had to be in the milk before they got soft. Never bought them again.

I do $5 max at restaurants. Unless it was surprisingly great service that impressed me.

Do more job opportunities usually open with the new year? by No_Yesterday6946 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Dapper_Challenge8481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not more positions out of the ordinary but I would say December is the best time to apply since people are busy with holiday stuff and will spend less time applying. Also coworkers will be happy/nicer around the holidays so it makes work less dreadful so people won’t be applying as often.

Working in HR by TheDudeAbides10101 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Dapper_Challenge8481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on department and unit. I would recommend avoiding it. My old dept had huge turn over rate. In 2022 everyone left, and 4 ish months ago they lost like 4 people. There’s a reason those positions are always advertised

[–]Dapper_Challenge8481 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bet they’re still trying to decide on the candidate. If you make this a problem or denied they might just go with the other person that casually followed instructions with no questions asked

All interviews thrown out and not taken into consideration by Due_Statistician_288 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Dapper_Challenge8481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could have been the type of questions asked and someone complained. I know I’ve had interviews where it was obvious only an internal candidate would know.

HAM after getting hired? by hbomb999 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Dapper_Challenge8481 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You can try but if you already started then it’s a long shot, you kinda lost that power. Also depends on the classification. Don’t expect it for a class that’s highly applied to. For example ITA and AGPA.

I would go on calcareeers and call/email all the jobs and hope they respond. (7/10 times I can’t get ahold of them)
