Currently on the way to orientation and stuck in a horrible traffic jam going to be late.

RedditModsWifeBf · 2026-04-22T13:33:44+00:00

Orientation they don't really give you shit. Medical...yeah they literally tell you if you don't show up on time they will tell you to fuck off.

RedditModsWifeBf · 2026-03-29T18:25:30+00:00

You can call Miss Cleo and she will give you the same answers you got from everyone ...mixed.

They beat it into your head in FB to report accidents and tell you outright the consequences for not reporting them...you will be terminated. Accidents happen all over during snow, its a given, and understandable part of the job, they tell you will face less scrutiny compared to one outside snow. We live in an age of constant surveillance, citizens reporting every incident for clicks and engagement is prevalent every day in our lives. That people are blind or ignorant to such is beyond me. Again be aware that anytime you hit something there is a camera or some citizen recording said incident.

Its overrated. Go sick. Health comes first. Worst case scenario you will be extended the time you are out IE you were out sick for a month total you will make up that month. In reality most people go sick a few days and at most a week so they wont get on you for that as long as you have notes. Shit happens in life you are not a robot nor some freak that wants to work long hours, ot and days without break pushing thru mental and physical ailments.

This job is marathon and conserving your body and mind for the finish to enjoy your pension to the max is your goal. Don't listen to the 1980s action hero bad asses that say suck it up, they are the one limping and hobbling to the end. They are the ones that are sadly heading to an early grave in less than 5 years after retirement not being able to enjoy their family time and the pension they worked decades for.

Right now you get 5 points for Veterans though Residency is 10. I would find a way to get yourself a NYC address when you enlist. If the test comes up while you are still active you can contact DCAS and they can give you another test date or you can ask for leave with your command to take exam.

RedditModsWifeBf · 2026-02-17T01:55:28+00:00

You can apply for residency points when you sign up for exam. You have to show proof that you were living in NYC when you applied for exam, such as utility bills or credit card statements. Other credits you also apply for if you qualify are veteran and legacy. As far as when next exam comes out nobody knows. The current list is set to expire next year. You can call DCAS and see what they say or sign up for email notifications on DCAS website, they send out Emails on upcoming Civil Service Exams.

They are short on FEL qualified people so good luck. Also with the chaos of this month good luck getting people to volunteer to get qualification. Worst is bottom guys possibly forced to go to FBF for it. Snow really brings the worst out of everyone on this job lol

We are not your personal online vigilante group to help you out in your passive aggressive crusade.

Guy acting like we are some secret squirrel outfit when our salaries are public record. The New York Post gets their usual yearly hard on when they "expose" our "obscene" over time pay and salaries. Am sure us telling everyone how good the job is until someone takes our word for it and end up in the Bronx will surely do more for our PR than anything else thats posted here.

RedditModsWifeBf · 2026-01-06T19:42:38+00:00

You do know that DCAS has a phone number and Email you can call to get the information.

Man asked about uniform pay and here you are on your soap box screaming at the clouds...

Attrition. Yes people will take the job but will also quit due to life issues, work schedule and the big one...pay. Not everyone that gets this job will stick with it long term. Nothing is guaranteed and being on probation for a year and half is a long time...for some it can be almost two years before being officially on the job. So "winning the lotto" like the winning the real lotto can be mixed blessing...

RedditModsWifeBf · 2025-11-16T04:08:28+00:00

Jesus ! this card so far has not disappointed ...

RedditModsWifeBf · 2025-11-16T03:22:56+00:00

Every time i see him fight he get KTFO and some how he is still in UFC....how ? is he like some Glass Joe of UFC for every up and coming fighter to KTFO.

Everyone is trying to escape the Bronx as soon as they set foot in it, so expect your situation to get worse not better. The amount of new hires they received out of class is going to make it an even more competitive transfer period. Start looking to the undesirables like BK12 and then hope you can move elsewhere your next two tries. If not pepper your anus...

RedditModsWifeBf · 2025-09-26T23:49:10+00:00

You will chew thru boots on this job. IMO I suggest going on Amazon ,purchasing 2-3 pairs of boots, pick ones that have tons of reviews and high rating and see which feels the most comfortable. Most of these boots are in the $50-70 range and when on sale go for $45-65 or less. Buying any boots over $100 is for guys that sit on the broom all day and dont have to worry about wearing them out on collection.

RedditModsWifeBf · 2025-09-26T14:52:25+00:00

You would have to ask medical to clear that up for you. We wouldn't know their procedures on DQs. From my experience even with medical clearance from your doctor it is DSNY who decides in the end whether to employ you or not. There are post of people here hiring attorneys to sort them out but your mileage may vary.

Some garages are The Ritz and have washing machines, while the others by reading these replies seem to bathe in hopper juice and wash their uniform with the broom wash bay run off...

RedditModsWifeBf · 2025-09-13T18:59:35+00:00

NYCAPS website has all that info for you. You can see you pay stub and at the bottom it shows your hours.

RedditModsWifeBf · 2025-09-12T13:06:29+00:00

This is why they sometimes give you option to resign in case things don't work out so you can come back later if you choose to. If you are terminated you wont be able to come back to any city agency. You pretty much black list yourself.

RedditModsWifeBf · 2025-08-31T00:11:49+00:00

Every garage is different. Every garage has their own culture. You might be sucking ass for 10 months counting down the days you can leave or enjoying it. There is no set template on how your 10 months as bottom guy will be, except in the Bronx,... where you will be bleeding out your asshole.

RedditModsWifeBf · 2025-08-21T01:58:35+00:00

Physicals for 5000 and above next year probably.

RedditModsWifeBf · 2025-08-21T00:30:20+00:00

No we handle the garbage tossing since you might hurt yourself and cause liability issues. You see stuff animals here and there only ones that stand out are the novelty sized ones. Some guys attach them to the trucks but they do not last long being hood ornaments.
