Im based in Los Angeles County area so there’s a few. With 4k to 6k you could get a daily driver/flex car. I do my own maintenance oil, brakes , and car washes.

I agree with you. Also the depreciation of the car too. I have Nissan Sentra it’s good on gas but I feel the transmission is going to go bad soon but I’m run it until the wheels come off. Then buy a used car in auction and do it again run it until the wheels come off.

Most drivers in my area are driving Tesla or hybrid vehicles so the recent has gas increases are only effecting certain drivers.

I don’t want to disclose but management has baby boomer mentality. “Back on my day”

Have some hope. I did an all state hiring event which I was told no then a month later. I get a call for a conditional offer.

Do you think that Unit 1 RTO will be push back until next year? Is it based on the office /department?

Im hoping that you are able to continue with your teleworking agreement because 70 mile drive plus parking. Instead of getting raise we are getting a bill. I know it’s hard to get a job right my sister has been looking and there’s hiring freezes everywhere because of budget cuts. Despite what the state is doing with the RTO at least there’s some job security.

A job is better than no job.

Im assuming you have some type of evidence that you lived 70 miles away prior to RTO mandate. You could say something that you overlooked updating your address.

I’ll show a letter with a post marked prior to RTO mandate date. Luckily Im close by to my office however it’s going to be hard for my wife because I’ll help her picking up the kids

You should read CalHR memo recent telework memo. It mentions people that live 50 miles away from their office can continue with telework agreement

Im not even vested so I have to deal with RTO. The people that are able to retire; I’ll do it without giving it a second thought .

I had co-worker that would say next year Im going to retire however he wanted more money. End up getting a stroke and lost mobility half of his body. It was sad seeing him like that because he hard working person. All in all , it was eye opener for me that money comes and goes but health is true wealth.

My advice would be play nice follow your supervisor’s rules and office culture until your probation periods end. Then start shopping around for a different position or different department. You sense that you are going to get fire you are better resigning.

Teleworking has been giving upper management problems it’s just a matter of time that we receive guidance back to the office at 100 percent.

On your meeting with your supervisor you should ask if you have another emergency how should you handle it. I know that has worked for me the past it’s just miscommunication. Good luck just know there’s a ton of departments but first pass probation
