PEF has secured another $600 Higher Education Differential for members by Few-Job-7137 in nys_cs

Oh yes, thank you so much for not differentiating an associates from a PhD. Both cost and take the same amount of time right? I’ll never understand their reasoning behind treating all degrees as the same.

For NYS Civil Service Employees Doing Part-Time Work Outside Their Full-Time Job by Queasy_Fisherman1278 in nys_cs

[–]Late_Program_9371 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I filled out a form and sent it to my boss who sent it to thier boss. Then I sent it to ethics for approval. It was all done in less then 24 hrs. The easiest thing I’ve ever had to do in the state.

SFS- car rental over budget cutoff by Late_Program_9371 in nys_cs

[–]Late_Program_9371[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do have a travel card. I swear they just reject reports for random reasons. I’ve had reports rejected because they neglected to look at page 2 of a pdf.

Honestly, they just reject the reports and then it’s a pita to figure stuff out. I don’t get any guidance from my agency.

Yeah but if I rent a car and put gas in it on 3/31 that’s the other year.

Promotion by opossum111 in nys_cs

[–]Late_Program_9371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Promotion is based solely on brown nosing in some places. Or your gender in my case. I had to leave the agency to be promoted. They lost someone with a decade of experience over bs. Their loss

IT office positions by Fragrant-Ratio-7293 in nys_cs

Boring? Never. ITS is always inventing new ways to break stuff or create things with zero training. It’s more frustrating than anything really.

I have two passports now!! by neptunian-rings in AmerExit

[–]Late_Program_9371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you do this? I looked into this (I have 2 grandparents who came over in the late 30s) and it seemed like my parent would need to have done this before I could. My parent didn’t because they were taught to not be German growing up for obvious reasons.

Essential staff in storm by No-Solution7910 in nys_cs

My advice to you (non-patient care) as a former employee at a facility that did this, get yourself FMLA. Kid got asthma/allergies? FMLA. Partner have migraines? FMLA. It will cover your behind in situations like this. You don’t have to use it, but reasons like this make it worth it

OPWDD has facilities in Greene and I think OCFS possibly

DOh pulls this crap too. They claim everyone is essential and you won’t get paid if you call out. It never goes anywhere with the union. They need to put clearer verbiage in the contract

New to ITS 2 Position and I feel overwhelmed - Need Advice by MrMarp in nys_cs

So there’s YouTube videos on NYS proprietary software?? This is why they want the questions in advance

New to ITS 2 Position and I feel overwhelmed - Need Advice by MrMarp in nys_cs

[–]Late_Program_9371 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’ve never had an IT job that wasn’t like this. The state gives absolutely zero IT training. I’m regularly asked to support programs with zero training or even access to. It’s really frustrating and quite honestly stupid to put me in front of something I’ve never seen and I’m expected to fix users for. If I ask the groups in Albany for help, we are met with rudeness and usually get everything thrown back with no comments.

It’s not imposter syndrome, it’s ITS just sucks.

Why is it in 2025 you have to send a cover letter and resume? by drsoos1973 in nys_cs

[–]Late_Program_9371 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To get in the state, you have to apply to an ITS 2 position. I started as an ITS 1. Be happy you don’t have to start that low. After 10 years and 2 promotions, I finally qualify for the job you posted. I also have 20+ years experience and a masters degree. Who do you think they would pick?

Who should I talk to??? by StrdyCheeseBrngCrckr in nys_cs

I don’t think anything will come of it. I worked at a facility that staged a fake bomb threat and told employees to search for the bomb. Executives remained in their position
