not yet we pick in December or whats left of it

the only things we be picking is our nose

greetings from XX Hell within The Hole!!!!

cross your fingers. they changed me 2x. i know a TO that was changed 5x. Also some had to work 7-8 days straight after they changed their RDOs. while other TOs never had their RDOs or their AMs changed. luck of the draw. it's who you know too i suppose. TOs have "friends" in (s)crew office

u will pass you should see about 85% of all RTO members......they are so unhealthy, can't even climb up and down stairs i can move easily but my big gut is so atrocious......it blocks hallways and in the cab

ur suppose to speed into stations....you get yelled at / reprimanded for NOT speeding into station fast enough. Just don't hit any signals or STs or GTs and you will be fine.

are you very overweight? if your neck size isn't overly huge and can do a squat in front of the doctor you will pass. eye and hearing tests are easy, although it's tricky but they let u pass if you pass the threshold. if you have high blood pressure that might be an issue...

the tickets might do you a favor in the long run.....u'll live longer if u don't work for Transit

AK = AK47. u just RUN & GUN!! who needs perm? Coffee is only for Closers

they all took the L.......and i'm not talking about the L train lol

i mean a whole class got canned cuz they failed the signals. so i dunno what to say. it's so easy.....but to each his own. some folks can't handle the academics

no you don't get fired if you get it wrong. like i keep saying. just get the definitions 80-90% correct. and you will be fine. Trust me. the final exam/signals final is a joke. if you study your flashcards everyday, you will pass. if you are still having trouble memorizing and understanding it after a few weeks, then the way you're studying isn't working. you have to find what works for you. think about back to your HS/college days.....it's all memorization.

loose weight the only real way. but that's nearly impossible for some like me. trust me i know!! i'm still surprised i got hired even though i can't really fit sitting in the cab seat due to my gut size. peanut butter works wonders.....kills hunger yet gives u nice protein, power bars helps. even those nutrition protein bars.....it's convenient too, just grab 1-2 and put them in your bag. walk / jog / run if you can. but it's extremely hard to put that in your schedule if you have a life/family along with your abusive days as an XX. There are some youtube channels where they have work out programs just using your own body weight. I try those and it felt great, but i fell off the horse and need to get back on that if you can walk home......try it.....but if you have to drive home....then you can't do that unfortunately. hit the Gym....those box gyms are so cheap and maybe you can join a class. the motivation with a group will help and it's more fun doing it with others. in some crew rooms there are "gyms", just bench presses and free weights, some TOs would work out in between trips or at the end of their shift.

if ur neck is big they will just tell you to come back.....with ur personal doctor's note saying "here are the results to the sleep test". i think u can have a big neck and NOT get sleep apnea....that's what they wanna see. ask around! i think this was the process

LOOOL!!!! there we go!!! nice nice

i had a run in with two superindendents who had a ego-mania napoleon complex disorder (not to mention they were both shorter than me ha ha ha go figure!!) they really need to check ur ego.....now.....if they are doing their job, no worries mate! but they didn't need to belittle you nor give you attitude. sometimes u have to bark back but not drop to their level. don't raise your voice or give attitude...just out smart them and talk soft but use the right words to stand your ground!

we had a #BIGNECKGANG a while back....i don't know if they made it. ur neck has to be smaller than 17.5 or 15 inches? i seriously forgot. so check up on that. either way......count it as a blessing ur put on hold in this hellhole. u don't want this!!

TRUTH!! school cas has all been just scare tactics. especially a lot of TSS lost their street cred when we heard about THEIR old mishaps. so we learned to just do our best and let everything flow

i second this! yooo tons of folks punished for hitting GTs (and in their words.....legit not their fault). The TIP/trick for me is to go slow until that stop arm goes down. like SEE that stop arm go down.....forget what the siggie says. sometimes they lie. it's clear yet the stop arm is still waving to you! forget the timetable. i dare cadets to be late on purpose and see what happens........NOTHING! yes i come in late on purpose to test it out a few times. NADA. so whats the damn rush right? smhh. It's sad that a few got Terminated from hitting too much siggies though. Transit loves to use the arnold line: "YOO ARHHE DERMINATED!!!"

how many weeks after 3 years in service?

FWIW i've been told they stopped hiring until Jan 2023

OMG i still have PTSD from that 200 page canvass package

yea i hear u man. those pesky GTs!! rare moments where i'll be CRAWLING and it won't clear. smh. can't take that chance though.

2 Broadway has a torture chamber in the 2nd level basement. It's unmarked in the elevator. so much for a "stable fire proof" job right? i've been told you can never get fired from being a TO unless u do something really really stupid STUUUPID. but that's all subjective right? 3 signals hits and u get fired even after probation? damn man
