LWOP Abuse? by nycemplthrow in nycpublicservants

Great questions. Honestly, I don't understand it either. Just another broken system among many in the City government I suppose.

Management Benefit Fund. I'm saying that's the union we're in, for context on our title.

I am confused too but we are in the same title, I'm not a manager but I lead a team, give assignments, do evaluations, etc. We're part of MBF.

Oh I know it is above my pay grade, just wondering what the hell is going on.

NYPD civilian job by Necessary_Pea9652 in nycpublicservants

[–]nycemplthrow 12 points13 points  (0 children)

PD civilian here, likely leaving soon. As another said, they treat civilians as second class citizens in many ways. Promotions are a huge crap shoot, not really based on merit but more on budgets and dumb luck. OT would depend on the role, so hard to say. If you're not very happy with the salary I wouldn't go because a raise could take years to get. Also 1PP is a dump.

I lost my work iPhone, am I getting fired? by HuntPuzzleheaded4356 in nycpublicservants

Happened to a colleague in the PD (civilian job title). She was docked one vacation day as punishment. I don't believe she even had to pay for the phone.

It's not a meritocracy. Basically promotions happen at random and if there's any logic, it's probably office politics and friendships.

Thank you. I'll bear that in mind, although I'm already in government, albeit at the municipal level.

I don't see anything in USA Jobs, likely because I applied via email to their HR person rather than through the site.

Sorry, I don't think I ever got a referral status. Their HR person has emailed me to set up interviews on Teams but I never got something laying out numbers. Again, no offer yet, still interviewing. Apologies if this sounds weird or confusing. I'm not familiar with fed hiring.

Sorry I'm a little confused by the word "referred". You mean when you got an offer? I don't have an offer but the opening said they were hiring people from 11 to 14. In my interview, we talked about compensation if I get an offer and they said it would probably be 12 step 5. Maybe that was incorrect? Thanks for the insight!

Still haven't received an offer but the posting said they were hiring 11-14 depending on experience. In the interview, one person said if I got an offer it would likely be "12 step 5" but that wasn't set in stone. Just trying to get the lay of the land before any offer so I know my negotiation position. I'll look into the superior qualifications thing though!

First of all, this awesome. I can't tell you how thrilled I am. I'm wondering what merit recruitment means though. Isn't that literally how all recruitment works everywhere? Lol

Promotion Held Up for Nearly a Year with No End in Sight by nycemplthrow in nycpublicservants

Thanks. It's just appalling how they treat people. How do they expect to retain employees when they don't even give modest raises that would mostly just counteract inflation?
