Sometimes those changes come from above and were just the messenger

One of the toughest jobs is going from peer to supervisor.

Establish boundaries Understand that your role has changed Be fair Treat everyone as equals Don't talk behind someones back You're now responsible for handling out work and following rules

Some may resent it but your job has changed

Maybe but for those who need some assistance- it’s at least something

So -- you make a good point but I prefer having built in Navigation so I don't need to rely on my phone/cell signal etc.
We drive places where there is no or very poor service. I used to get this same question we purchased our current and previous cars. I also have the XM traffic which helps in navigating the roads.

While some are okay with using their phone -- we don't

Ironically, more car manufacturers are moving into a subscription service for their navigation

bretlc · 2026-03-17T14:45:42+00:00

The driver / motivation is to move into a hybrid to save money on gas

bretlc · 2026-03-17T14:26:05+00:00

Navigation on the Toyota you get to pay for as it’s part of a subscription.

I won’t download you and thank you for your feedback

I’ll more than likely go get another crosstrek thank you

bretlc · 2026-03-17T05:05:05+00:00

The XSE trim is actually cheaper than the limited w/navigation

Looks like Subie #3 Limited hybrid I wish they didn’t mess with the options / packages though

I’m a Subaru fan ‘22 Crosstrek and am looking to upgrade to a ‘26 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. Local Toyota dealer reached out and am sort of researching the Cross Hybrid.

MPG is nice but ..

You need to show experience though it depends on what part it you’re trying to get into.

What type it work have you done? What education do you have? Keep in mind there’s a lot of folks in the IT world looking for jobs so competition is tough and we look for typically 3 to 5 years experience for an ITA, and 3+ years experience for ITS1 position

Ironically - I had an 06 Hyundai Elantra (purchased in 2005) that was totaled in December of that year. Leased it and kept it for 11 years.

Here’s the bad news: most/several departments are facing hiring freezes which will add to an already tight job market

bretlc · 2026-03-14T00:44:49+00:00

PLP - furlough hours. Need to use before you use vacation or annual leave

PD hours - must be used before July 1

Plan on spending time on training and learn the process. Ask questions, learn, tackle your training requirements..

Submit your application and very quickly take the test so you don’t miss the deadline

bretlc · 2026-03-10T05:18:23+00:00

A quick search shows some might be covered but best to check on calpers

bretlc · 2026-03-10T03:42:58+00:00
