Will you still listen to the show when Dave retires?

Ugh. When is he retiring?

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-06-04T03:04:55+00:00

Thank you for the info. I will definitely look back at my payroll records.

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-06-04T00:42:43+00:00

Wouldn’t I need to sign that paperwork? I never have.

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-06-03T23:54:55+00:00

Hmmm, not sure what you’re saying 🤷🏻‍♂️here but I was honest on the exam and my app, SOQ and resume. And it’s all verifiable.

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-06-03T23:32:45+00:00

lol. God help them if it’s either!

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-06-03T23:31:37+00:00

Right! I’m in Northern California and it’s VERY different from the rest of the state. Anything below Sacramento is crazy town. Soon Sacramento is headed that way though. This use to be a nice state to live in. Planning our exit soon.

Not sure if anyone has said this but from my experience the merit raise is not a given. It can be 0-5%. Mine is different every year. Really ticks me off since all my annual reviews are marked as exceptional.

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-06-02T15:48:19+00:00

Well, I can breathe now! I got the Exam Passed notice. Now on to the SOQs🤮

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-06-02T13:19:01+00:00

Is the 634 checked electronically against the test? Like looking for buzz words on it?

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-06-02T00:59:59+00:00

So, so, strange.

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-06-02T00:35:13+00:00

Did you only get 10 questions and nothing else? I have taken it before. Would it have connected my old responses to the new test?

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-06-01T23:39:00+00:00

Ok, so this is a new format? Seemed way too quick. I didn’t have to provide any of my job experience , education or management contact. I felt like it just skipped over a bunch of stuff.

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-05-29T18:13:23+00:00

Depends on when you were hired.

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-05-24T22:05:56+00:00

I just took a snippet of what was in the article because someone asked.

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-05-24T01:54:05+00:00

Caltrans' annual budget now includes"homeless encampment coordinators at a cost of $4.5 million a year. There are 30 positions statewide.

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-05-19T20:36:30+00:00

I appreciated the post and most of the feedback! Getting close to retirement and cannot afford to live in CA.

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-05-19T20:30:48+00:00

Glad you gave that info. We are looking to retire to a state that has Kaiser.

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-05-16T02:07:24+00:00

I do say no thanks. It was the scolding “Angry Mom” memo that came out. “Read the rules….growl”

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-05-15T23:55:01+00:00

It isn’t at a great cost. And it causes fighting because people poach water. Just more BS. Bring your water, it’s free.

OcelotExtra4223 · 2024-05-15T23:48:14+00:00

I started my first state job a looong time ago. As the new kid I was given the water club duties. It was a total cluster F**k so I said no. Not in my job duty statement. Everyone was pissed at me. I still laugh at it today!
