    Nevermind lmao there was another person who came back also in my classroom, who's your assigned TSS? I got one who I heard is sarcastic and one who wrote the manual 👀

    That’s either Khan or Carney .. remember which ?

    Yeah last time they did me dirty was mad depressed, only thing that's making me nervous now is that this test wasn't promotional it was open competitive so they said that if something happens or if I wanna go back to conductor that I have to put my name back on the list and see if they will have classes for me to come back, and have to pay a processing fee as well I'm like wtf?!?!?!?? So I have to definitely pass or become homeless and jobless now.

    Don’t let them lie to you. I’m one of 9 Promotionals who didn’t go back . They all went back to title no problem. They wouldn’t tell any of us that when we were sworn in but everyone who wanted to go back went back . At least 5 went back to title . Sat a Livingston for a couple days and had to pay some Processing fee but they let them go back.

    They skipped the sworn in and didn't give me a rulebook and just the green paper and another paper to change my pass from conductor to train operator, since I'm already an employee etc etc. There's some dumb zoom meeting for orientation I'm like ugh really I don't wanna show my morning face 😑

    Congrats . I’ve been checking to see if you made it with how they did you last time

    Honestly its going to be hard to imagine them going back to promotional for train op. While many conductors do go on to become great train ops, there's also a bunch who don't go upfront for a variety of reasons 

     

    (I.e. fear of having to walk the structure for put ins, unwillingness to deal with the much bigger list of responsibilities, or they try to tough it out after making the switch but just cannot control a train for their lives.)

     

    Some bus operators (though arguably they may have more responsibilities in that seat)  fall into these categories too.

     

    Conversely, you have a decent number of off the street folks willing and able to deal with the aforementioned duties.  It's relative..

    I personally think it would be a bad idea . I was promotional from stations where they say most people don’t make it . If we had 10 promotionals, 6 went back. Bus operators go back . Conductors go back .. I don’t think it’s a good idea at all

    When you were appointed in September, open data stated there were 57 vacancies. How many were actually appointed?

     

    29. One was a dud. Someone who was demoted from doing a job at rail control that he wasn’t supposed to be doing . He didn’t even make the week before he retired .

    Doubt they will hire that many. Covid made it to where classes went from 10 to 5 and they have just so many places to send these classes to to where too many of us aren’t together and multiple classes aren’t in the same place. They might state they need 200 in order to make transit hire at least 50. Everything has a budget 

    Also we are still in school car. We are all YX. The B doc folks probably just started YX and they will be on the road sometime in May. A div we YX until about Valentines Day then have a final and another signal exam and then do road ops for two weeks .. right around when new classes are supposed to start.. then we have to post ... we are officially done with school car in April .. going back and forth to the school etc they are going to be cautious scheduling these classes and what not . Definitely won’t be an induction of more than 30

    Last time they were saying we would all be drafted to the A. They gave the exact amount to choose from both for the promotionals only . 8 chances to go B and then everyone else who couldn’t pick had time go A. At least half of the b people didn’t make it for one reason or another . We lost one person in the A for personal reasons . 6 classes total. 2 b, 4 a 

    And by they I mean people here in the forum

    Do you know if they need anybody in the A more or the B more?

  11. Hey I am from the September induction and I heard today of a late February class from one of my School car TSS. Get ready y’all because it seems like at least 25-30 should be called for classes . Good luck everybody. It’s been a real interesting run and it’s not for everybody but it’s an amazing job. I came from stations so I already worked for transit but it’s definitely not easy but once you get it you’re in there . Ill

    post if I get any more info.

    Hey BxJay,

    I got in the Sept 21st class. There was one other person in the 12**'s, including myself that got sworn in yesterday. 

    The first class is definitely a zoom, and the second class  will be at location in Brooklyn. The colored sheet that was handed to you gives you the zoom link as well as the location. 

     

    Wait then we are here together ... who are you 👀👀👀

    Not gonna get into it, but take it from me and my personal experience. Union ain't shit when u on probation, so dont give them an extra dollar.

    The Union ain’t shit even when off probation. Sorry... I’m coming from station and trust me .. they will sell out their momma to not be sent back to their tools

    Yes, that'd be PS 248, on the third floor near the end of the hallway.

    Presumably the first day is Zoom because the union hall would be too tight for comfort and you're basically spending the day listening to union reps and their vendors give their spiel.

    Ha at least they can’t force you to sign up for that cope fund bull shit they get all the new people with! Can’t fill out the little form if you aren’t there in person. I’ve seen them pull people into the hallway to try to convince them. I really want to see how they are going to sell it via zoom. I’ll let y’all know. Because they ain’t getting me again. Nope. Just got that crap taken off! They are a bunch of sell outs and losers. They might make me tell them how I really feel and how they are f**king over stations knowingly.

    When I went my paper said to report to the school. It was after the fact that I got an email mentioning the zoom

    Hey BxJay,

    Not answering your question, but What did you put for (MAC) - Medical Assestment Center?

    Did you select MTA Headquarters?

    I received email to fill out safety link.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Hey. That means more of you are being called . That’s great. I had put mta headquarters at first but the instructions advised to put Mac 1

    Does anyone know the last number put into the sept. 21st class.  Also are we remotely sure about an October class?

    I was told this by someone who just took their final. That we were all being drafted to A div and that a class was scheduled for October 

  18. I was just told that there is a class in October so for those of you who got called and then told not to come you should be part of that next group. And for anyone starting on the 21st all will be going to A division. I don’t know how true it is but this is what I was told.
