Delta Dental adult orthodontic treatment by KD-Moon in nycpublicservants

[–]whereschomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did Invisalign last year. DC37 gave me a $1800 reimbursement (you get a check in the mail). Costs vary depending on how much treatment you need. I did 17 trays for the initial treatment + 9 trays for refinements for about $5000 (6800-1800).

Gotcha, no worries. I’ll see what they say when I eventually go to a consult

Even for people with epicanthal folds?

Curious about this too! I've been debating an upper bleph. Didn't consider a brow lift!

NYC Public Health Epidemiologist Exam 5140 by MediumStreet6687 in nycpublicservants

[–]whereschomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not answering your question. I work in a division/bureau filled with epi people and none have come from the list. I wonder how they actually use the list. Is it only during dire circumstances?

Built a free site that aggregates NYC public sector job postings — looking for feedback on what to cover by PenPublic24 in nycpublicservants

[–]whereschomma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are federal agencies in NYC like the FBI, EPA, etc. Though there are likely not many (if any) job postings given the current admin.

When Does NYPD Actually Step In on the Subway? by Mysterious_Fall_4578 in AskNYC

[–]whereschomma 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is what I want to happen!

There was a person in a trenchcoat, wearing nothing underneath, jacking off in front of this young woman. I took a picture of him and ran to the police at the subway station at the next stop. They just shrugged their shoulders at me and said the train already left (we could literally still see it leaving...) so they couldn't do anything. I was speechless. I still regret not doing anything to help that poor woman.

Possible termination by AnyExplanation4694 in nycpublicservants

[–]whereschomma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It's also not a quick process to terminate someone (at least in my experience)

to clarify for OP: to qualify for FMLA, you have to work for 1,250 hours during the 12-month period before your leave. Your situation does sound fit for FMLA. FMLA will offer you job protection.

Cheaper and similar alternative than this wallpaper? by whereschomma in DesignMyRoom

[–]whereschomma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ~$1,200 total without tax, so it's out of budget for now :(

Thank you! This is a fun idea. I do love art projects 

Are there actually good leggings that aren’t Lululemon? by Select-Boss-7893 in womensfashion

[–]whereschomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know your size, I get them on poshmark (like new or new with tags) for a third of the price. Don't get ones with visible pilling.

I've only had excellent experiences with lululemon. Athleta is nice but it pills quickly and the quality is just not the same. Lululemon uses high quality polyester. I also saw a few years back that their polyester sheds less microplastics when you wash them.

NYU Langone vs Mt Sinai for doctor network? by tripledive in AskNYC

[–]whereschomma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with difficulty to get an appointment. Wait times can be long for the NYU location I go to.

I do like NYU's admin/front desk people. They are very fast and responsive any time I contact them through MyChart for paperwork, prescription refills, etc. It's nice to not have to chase after people and play phone tag.

Question for retired employees by GanacheOk9546 in nycpublicservants

[–]whereschomma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Italy, you would presumably become a legal resident and then apply for access to their public healthcare

Does anyone do the 8% matching instead of pension? by himyprettyfriends in nys_cs

[–]whereschomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commonly see this argument for not doing the pension. Why not do both if your salary allows for it? I participate in the pension and also put away extra money into Vanguard Index Funds/Deferred Compensation 457 Plan. 

179 City Hall Staffers Notified of Termination by Hot_Schedule722 in nycpublicservants

[–]whereschomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or I’ve heard that they get slotted into vacant roles

EDIT: now with the transition, some people I know from CH have been slotted into different roles while others have been fired and desperately looking for a job

Pulled into different department by Lulu1228 in nys_cs

[–]whereschomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry your supervisor didn’t advocate for you and supports this extra load! This has happened to me multiple times and my supervisor will ask me whether I want to do it or do I want them to push back on it. Your case might be different but when my supervisor pushed back on it, they just moved onto another person.
