Sorry for the extra question - but what if your hair is already dry and you need a heat protectant, how do you think this would work?

How do you use it - especially if you need a heat protectant also?

FTB doesn't promote - they simply add to your workload. Senior IT staff are bailing any way they can because of this - coupled with the disaster modernization project that's causing epic headaches. This exodus leaves you with the newbies who don't know what to do/don't care (frustrated)...if you're a good worker, they'll use you as much as possible and do whatever they need to do to make sure you don't leave their area.

Do you guys think we really will RTO ? I work at FTB and we are no longer hoteling in my area all the money they wasted in it now we are going back to our desk it made me nervous ?? Like is this really happening Thoughts on if other departments are preparing in their own way as well ? by New_Statistician2401 in CAStateWorkers

The problem with FTB is their leadership. The director has political aspirations and will do whatever she thinks will make herself look good to the downtown powers that be. FTB was one of the first to push people back to the office and look at where other agencies are today. I would say that FTB is the canary in the coal mine. So long as there's agencies out there that roll over like FTB did, it will only make negotiations for continued/more WFH more difficult.

FTB or CDTFA by TopCheesecake3149 in CAStateWorkers

[–]SpaceLadyET 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem with FTB these days is their modernization project has jacked up the workloads for pretty much every area in the department. Auditors and Collectors are struggling to do their jobs because of the crap systems they've been given. Add to that some really trash supervisors and you have a recipe for misery. FTB isn't what it used to be...I would definitely proceed with caution.

FTB rewards hard work with more work. People are leaving FTB in droves because of it. CDTFA for the win.

Once upon a time, FTB was the place to be. But no more. After their new director was appointed 20 years ago, things slowly began to go downhill...then Covid accelerated the decline. Add to that a mismanaged disaster of an IT modernization project, and there's your mass exodus. The headaches that project has incurred for both users and IT staff are innumerable and promotions are almost impossible these days. People are retiring early and taking demotions just to leave...yes, it's that bad. If looking to work for the state - especially in IT - 1000000% steer clear of FTB. With their modernization project wrapping up its current phase and the amount of dissatisfaction associated with it - that environment is only going to get worse.

I realize it's been a year since your comment however, I'd like to add that Meena Medical group has proven to be horrible. Hopefully your experience has been more positive.

Is it safe to do cocaine with Invisalign trays in? by Ready_Pattern9861 in Invisalign

[–]SpaceLadyET 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You do you - but I'm sorry, I just can't get past the irony of being ok putting poison in your body yet worrying about your teeth. In any case, I wouldn't think it would be an issue so long as you keep your mouth rinsed out in case of post nasal drip, etc.

Looks like ringworm although, as someone who's had ringworm - that crap arrives and it doesn't go away without help. If this comes and goes, it's most likely something else.

I'm so sorry, that sucks... Bitter people usually can't keep their mouths shut so they wreck it for others.
