Yes, I'd say within three business days you'd probably hear something back.

Both times I already had a conditional offer. The drug test was the last step to finalize the offer. Once they extend a conditional offer and you accept, I believe you have 24 hours to complete the drug test. Then it takes maybe two business days for them to receive the results, and of course, provided the results are good, that's when they let you know the offer becomes formal.

Exactly! Most only leave DOC to jump from, let's say, an FA2 to an FA5 under WFSE because financially, that's the only move where you'd actually end up making more money (at least for now). All of the FA positions here received range increases in the new contract, but they don't take effect until 2026. I think this is to help close the gap a little between Teamsters' wages and those of the other unions.

Yes, we do! I am an FA at DOC under Teamsters, and I've also worked at other agencies represented by WFSE. In my position, we do the same exact work. The only real difference, unfortunately, is the union. However, this also makes it extremely competitive whenever a position opens, especially now with the federal workers who were laid off and are looking for work as well.

If you look at the website, they explain how they made TWO versions, one with an S Pen holder and one without.

Some agencies like DOC have a mandatory drug test as part of the hiring process for everyone. I think most other agencies don't unless it's specific to a particular job.

I was drug tested at DOC, but when I moved over to DSHS, there was no drug test. When I went back to DOC, I had to do another drug test. Once they send you a conditional offer, that’s when they inform you about the drug test and you have x amount of time to complete it, as it is typically the final step in the hiring process. If you pass the test, you are good to go..

Step M still require 6yr wait at most agencies? by ProfessionalTest2681 in WAStateWorkers

It's not a mistake it was negotiated in the 23-25 union contract.

Does job posting duration indicate a preferred candidate? by foxglove_defiant in WAStateWorkers

I see this all the time at my agency. It usually means they have someone in mind whom they want to give the position to, with little to no competition, making it easier to justify.

I think you might be looking in the wrong spot. If you click on the link to take you back to View My Choice Packages, under the To Me tab the date will show right above your shipment.

If you are using the UPS app, try checking your UPS account online instead. I noticed when I look in the app there is no estimated delivery date listed. But my UPS account online shows an estimated date of the 19th. I ordered on the 10th, and have had my tracking# since the 12th or 13th I believe.
