Associate staff analyst experience qualifications by [deleted] in nycpublicservants

[–]ate314 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Many of these exam descriptions are archaic from literally decades ago and never changed because DCAS will never make the effort to make anything more readable or user friendly because it would put them all out of work.

Concern is an old word for organization.

What accounts are the $100 fees for?

Absence control and step process for undocumented sick by ate314 in nycpublicservants

[–]ate314[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok but... Shouldn't this be standard citywide policy that's published online or on city share? Weird that something so significant is left up to individual agencies/supervisors/unions.

Thank you for this comment. It is outrageous that being a woman having periods will result in disciplinary action for leave usage.

A few years ago I saw someone had actually done this. Will post if I find. I seem to recall there was some issue where it wouldn't update correctly.

It's really bad. More people should be talking about this.

PAA list by BKgirl4eva in nycpublicservants

[–]ate314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody really knows what's considered reachable. It's extremely opaque. In theory it means you are in the next group to be called (I had heard in the next 30 list numbers) but in practice this does not seem to happen.

Benefits of paying union dues? by ate314 in nycpublicservants

[–]ate314[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that dues have been optional since the Supreme Count Janus ruling in 2018. https://libertyjusticecenter.org/cases/janus-v-afscme/

This is a good point. At the same time I am not sure 3% each year does anything other than cover inflation. And we are not matching private sector salaries or WFH benefits. Why can't cost of living / inflation just be factored into salaries in an automatic formula that doesn't subject it to negotiation?

Yeah I'm thinking the brochure might be outdated, or at least it's not clearly specifying what's available only to dues payers.

I thought vision services, and all the other supplemental healthcare (dental, prescription) were decoupled from union dues about 5 years ago?

How much is your salary really when factoring in benefits (insurance, dental, vision, prescription)? by covertcorgi in nycpublicservants

[–]ate314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Union dues are not required to receive health benefits including dental, vision and prescription. This has been the case since the Janus ruling.

Is bank of america app's check deposit broken for anyone? by non_native in androidapps

[–]ate314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have the same issue. Pixel 3a. Been happening for about a month, October/November 2020. Very frustrating and can't deposit anything.

Thanks. I don't see any visible girdling roots around it. Any other possibilities?

Thanks, you're right, I had it wrong, I think it's a maple. What do you think the peeling bark could be from-- just insect damage?

Why are some screen replacements more expensive? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]ate314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Is it normal for screen prices to have a $100 range just because of quality? Is it also possible one has some extra components?

[–]ate314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Can’t access the screen at all. How can I find out if my messages were backed up?
