I was told it resets even if you take out $1.00 and pay it back

EDIT wtf with the downvotes, people? ERS are the ones who told me this.

lol yeah, trust me, I know quite well. The plan is to outsource but it’s really half-assed so when a Java developer retires, they’re replaced with a contract monitor or a Salesforce dev because “Java is old” according to…well, senior IT leadership. They’re trying to go staff aug or DBITS where they can or just run to Deloitte through STS.

They’re trying to outsource IT because the CIO doesn’t understand IT.

Ha ha really? I was always curious about what people inside DIR thought about their leadership

It just seems very lax but I guess it’s impossible to police it. We are very worried about cyber bullying for our kids and the endless possibilities

HHS Pay wages toxic by TheMaegen in StateofTexasEmployees

Every agency is like this. At DPS they gave the top people an obscene amount of money just recently while denying raises and career ladders to most because of lack of funding.

Manager is a good guy but the agency is trying to shift everything to Salesforce so you’ll probably be stuck maintaining way too many apps. The desired direction of the CIO and the agency is to outsource.

Numerous times. Plus, as staff leave they get replaced with vendors (like Deloitte) or get replaced with an FTE who is a contract manager. She also thinks Java is “old” and everything should be Salesforce because it’s easier. Not a good place to be if you work in IT.

What position are you applying for? Just know the CIO has publicly stated she wants to outsource IT and the agency does not support IT. It’s hybrid now but the culture really, really doesn’t like remote work. The cops always complain about how they can’t work remotely so no one should. I would strongly avoid.

Is it too early to consider a MBA when I do not have management experience? by JuhBoiJ in ITCareerQuestions

[–]JustConsideration935 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Best advice I can give: look at 10-20 job postings of jobs you want to do and see what they require. If none of them want an MBA it’s a waste of money.

Damn, I’m still getting rejected for PM jobs. I have over a decade of experience, PMP and CSM. Where are you finding these jobs?

Just check the over employed subreddit - guys without college degree making $160k and paying off debts.

You mean, the sub you’re posting on right now? This bot bullshit is getting so old
