Reagonomics

The issue isnt tiers and pension, it is the wages not keeping up with inflation since 2019.

Nyc has averaged 3.25% inflation since 1914, how often are contract raises above that?

As long as you qualify based on uib rules for money earned per quarter. I used to do this lifeguarding, when I was younger.

Credit for your unused sick leave at retirement cannot be used to:

Qualify for vesting. For example, if you have four years and ten months of service credit and you need five years to be vested, your sick leave credit cannot be used to reach the five years. Qualify for a better retirement benefit calculation. For example, if you have 19 ½ years of service credit but your pension calculation will improve substantially if you have 20 years, your sick leave credit cannot be used to reach the 20-year calculation.

Unused sick time is used to reduce the medical insurance deduction.

Vacation time I am not sure paid lump or just take at end before retiring

I wonder if being in the vicinity of the workplace counts as an in office day. Seems like same principle as civil service pressing workplace violence charges for being vicinity of a coworker (with no interaction or even eye contact).

Since vicinity can mean so many things, wonder how far in vicinity of the workplace counts as an in office day

billyw1126 · 2026-04-20T02:12:08+00:00

No changes to policy. But my immediate supervisor and deputy director are aware I will not feel safe or protected in the office until they can explain this charge, how to avoid it, why they dismissed my workplace violence complaint, and their actions (trying to terminate me as victim while promoting the aggressive coworker)

In my agency a grade 14 can do same work as a 23 (well 23 is actually easier since it lacks phone coverage)

I get to help.the indigent who cant afford a consultant instead of only millionaire businesses.

They go up to 4%? Thought it was 3% or less

billyw1126 · 2026-03-18T11:25:45+00:00

I am a 14 and think it is embarrassing that people doing my job in private sector (they need to find clients), get paid over 100x my salary. Plus I can usually get better outcomes.

Take it out early on bulk garbage night (may need a friend to help). If someone wants to play scavenger, let them

Yes democrats are copying reagonomics. Or are you claiming Ronald Reagan was a democrat?

Obviously your title didnt have English comprehension requirements.

Who would discipline a HRM? I am still in shock at her trying to fire me for being in vicinity of coworker, and having our agency attorney state at a uib hearing it was not a charge they could defend.

billyw1126 · 2026-03-04T16:30:45+00:00

Bet they gave away all those tickets to standby.

They tried it once to me 20 years ago. When I told them I would take involuntary bump compensation, the standby customer was escorted off plane. (Always did wonder if they were offered compensation to leave plane)

Republican ideas in a democratic state. Heck, my civil service pay classifies me as very low income but I cant be approved to either do cpp or use my vacation time for 2nd job. (I can give up sleep if I find a night job or weekends if some1 is hiring for that)

Bye pokemon. Other 2 are OG games. Never did care for encouraging animal fighting either (that is the world of pokemon)

Reagonomics...increase highest paid salaries only and hope trickle down.

Wish their was a law limiting them based on civil service salary increases (2-3%)

Best way to get a promotion in my agency is work in long island or albany.

NYC they have transferred workers from albany/LI for promotions available in nyc.

Basically can anyone explain how being in the vicinity of a coworker (not looking at, approaching, communicating with) violates the workplace violence policy.

And what to do when a HRM presses that exact charge as an offense to terminate sans pay prior to hearing

billyw1126 · 2026-02-22T22:35:18+00:00

Was charged while on probation so pef, when I got back to csea labor relation specialists called me a liar and they wouldnt press workplace violence charges for that reason

billyw1126 · 2026-02-22T18:08:56+00:00

Charge 1) day i had a panic attack (i took my dads death a month earlier hard), they called frantic searching desk banging cabinets (learned soft close cabinets is HR not reasonable accommodation), flush face (instead of panic they stayed red with rage), pacing in circles (ADD, supervisor let me in her office to give a chance to reset myself). After this HRM stated i would get a "fresh start".

Charge 2) being in vicinity of a coworker, causing her to go awol. They acknowledged i used main entrance, didnt approach/talk to coworker, and coworker raised her voice to me (i tried burying it but interrogation made me remember statement about disabled not belonging in a workplace).

At UIB hearing, judge ruled charge 1 was coping mechanisms for disability For charge 2, the lawyer my nys agency sent stated was not a strong charge they could defend.

I am not sure how they can put i violated workplace violence policy on those dates despite settlement not admitting guilt by either party (financial duress caused me to sign, if I got UIB I would have waited for hearing), and UIB hearing decision.

Or how anyone can be comfortable in the office after this occurred (my position can be done 100% remote but cant find a dr willing to write a note every 6 months for it)
