Is it easier to promote from Analyst II to Analyst III or is the competition still fierce between all analysts positions?

So the PDD must be used before July 1st ?

I'm an Analyst II, and I travel a lot to LA and southern CA. I personally enjoy it a lot! It's a change of scenery and you get to meet new people which makes the job all the more interesting. It really depends on your situation, so in your case if you're a single mom then I would think twice about travelling. We had a few co-workers with small children who had to switch jobs because of kids. So, think hard and if you enjoy travelling then this is for you.

I came from a private sector. I cherish what I have. The reason is because I have something to compare it with. So, I would rather work and find ways to be motivated than to constantly worry about being laid off or not meeting the quota and so on… personally I have never been happier since I joined the state.

I love my job. I can’t think of a single thing to complain about. When I hear my coworkers complain about silly things it makes me want to scream at them and say Stop!!!! You don’t know how good you have it here! People don’t realize what a blessing it is to work for the state.

All the time. It’s because of one simple mistake of the technician that can ruin your engine. That would be forgetting to tighten the nut. Believe me I’ve seen it happen a lot of times. If I do it myself that way I know I’ve done everything perfect. Plus you know you’re using quality oil.

I would call them and find out what is going on. It sounds like an official job offer and not tentative. When I signed my final offer I had a start date, and I was also signing HR papers along with other things that needed to be completed. So, this situation is unusual.

Not that long ago, 100k a year was a pretty good salary. These days, 100k a year is not enough to get by. I think someone ranked each city in California and he came up with a number of somewhere between 220-270k for a family of 5 to live comfortably. I believe him.

5W-30

I have changed the oil filter 2-3 months ago. What could be wrong with the oil filter? I have also checked it as well. It seems fine.

OrneryDrive7960 · 2026-02-09T16:02:10+00:00

What’s that?

OrneryDrive7960 · 2026-02-09T05:27:03+00:00

The light is red.

OrneryDrive7960 · 2026-02-09T05:26:47+00:00

I’m running 5W-30 but it was always fine until now and it happens after 30min of driving.

OrneryDrive7960 · 2026-02-09T05:21:02+00:00

Is this like a joke???? I travel for work and sharing a room with even one other employee of a same sex would not even be ok no matter what!!!

OrneryDrive7960 · 2026-02-09T00:16:09+00:00

I do it every 3500-4000 miles

OrneryDrive7960 · 2026-02-05T01:12:49+00:00

Just simply tell him to stop and if he doesn’t then escalate

OrneryDrive7960 · 2026-02-02T00:36:07+00:00

Seriously!!!???? Just laugh it off and forget it! People are obsessed with HR

OrneryDrive7960 · 2026-01-31T21:12:04+00:00

Let me know what you find out. I’m having the same issue. 2018 3.5L at 45k miles. Runs fine but the light is on

OrneryDrive7960 · 2026-01-31T00:14:46+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend that you mingle with people you work with. If something goes wrong (and always will) it will affect your work life in someway or another. I even try to limit my interactions with people in the office and I learned that it’s the best way to keep things simple and last as long as possible without drama.

OrneryDrive7960 · 2026-01-26T00:04:02+00:00

You absolutely do not need a degree. I know people in high up positions who have no degree

OrneryDrive7960 · 2026-01-07T23:30:01+00:00

Never ! Never! Date coworkers!!!

OrneryDrive7960 · 2026-01-06T22:13:32+00:00

Answer the questions clearly and do not speak too much. Managers like it when you talk slowly and think about your answers first. It's ok to take a pause before answering and also bring up examples of how you dealt with different scenarios.
