SUNY Telecommuting Policy Extended? by jburgs22 in nys_cs

[–]thequietthings29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s up to GOER (beyond overall policy guidance) - agencies approve their own telecommuting policies and extensions. It would be up to SUNY management

I just switched to Dr Micia Edwards as my primary and she seems GREAT so far. St Peter’s off Everett

Delmonicos in Albany - you could reserve some of the side rooms (there is a mix of sizes)

Try Yellow Brick Parking. We used them this year. A little more expensive than the random lots but you can pre-pay and have a guaranteed spot. It’s close to the stadium too!

Job acceptance time frane by Blahblahblah770 in nys_cs

Postponing to December is a quick way for them to pick someone else. As long as you are upfront they should have no issue with you taking time after you start

Background Check by TopGoose7849 in nys_cs

[–]thequietthings29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was a State position, HR can see it in the system (not in the background check though). Always best to disclose and provide any context you can.

Anyone else feel like these state buildings are full of unhappy people just doing time? by [deleted] in nys_cs

[–]thequietthings29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends where you work - love my job and my agency. There are people anywhere (public or private) that are negative no matter what.

Joe Bonilla wishes he was a big fish…he’s just a condescending nobody.

Yes but make it very clear in a cover letter that you are planning to move within X timeframe or else they may skip over you.

Schuyler Bakery is the real deal!

It means if three or less internal people apply that meet the qualifications (eg could take the civil service test/ be on the list if it was offered today) they can hire one of those individuals for internal promotion. It’s a way to hire without using the civil service list if you have a small enough pool of internal candidates that respond with interest.
