ssk2486 Posted February 14, 2017 Share #6301 Posted February 14, 2017 I went in for my second drug test for cleaner off this exam. Two weeks go by and I get a letter in the mail that says after reviewing your qualifications you were not appointed to the cleaner position. They did not interview me, see my resume or look at my 21 page booklet. They must be basing it on the application that I filled out while I was waiting. Are there actually qualifications that they look for just to be a cleaner? It's not hard, you can learn anything you need to know on the job. I am so disgusted with the MTA. Why have me come in a second time and do the entire process again for nothing? They already had the same application with my same experience from the first time I came in. What the heck is their problem? I have a clean record with no parking tickets nor any kind of unlawful activities. I just don't understand.

Marc5wish Posted February 14, 2017 Share #6303 Posted February 14, 2017 Quick question for anyone who did their medical, did you receive notification by email or regular postal service? Reason I ask is that I spoke to ms Rivera and she said I would receive a letter in mail so I wanted to know if I should be concerned or not Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikNYC Posted February 16, 2017 Share #6311 Posted February 16, 2017 congratz, just FYI your not official mta employee until you pass that 1 year probation, so keep out of trouble and be humble....don't take any days off and don't be late...most of all don't listen to other people especially the old schoolers and the "know it alls" I hate to tell you... but you are one of the "knows it alls".

JMA1982 Posted February 16, 2017 Share #6312 Posted February 16, 2017 I hate to tell you... but you are one of the "knows it alls". I used to think like that & then I got out of School Car & my perspective completely changed. Got humble real quick. Get past probation first. One reason why you hardly ever see me on here & plus the TSS's read these threads. Just an FYI. Be careful & do what you're told. The rest is on you. Good luck.

tdevon2012 Posted February 17, 2017 Share #6314 Posted February 17, 2017 I am so confused right now. I just spoke to Ms. Rivera and she told me that I would have to place myself back on the list for conductor and, that there wouldn't be a class until early spring or summer. I don't get it. I just saw a bunch of people on tuesday doing their 1st drug test and, if that was the case why wasn't I told when I was there that I would have to restore myself to the list. I called DCAS and, I am still on but, I am confused on what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't expect to get into the February class but, if they don't have a class until spring that means I would have to take a 4th drug test if it's past 90 days. My question is do I have to do the medical all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only took me a week but, nobody said at MTA that I was off the list when they allowed me to do a third drug exam. DCAS still has me on the list as of this past Sunday.

ErikNYC Posted February 17, 2017 Share #6323 Posted February 17, 2017 flagging is no fun? Long hours, good money, overnight shifts. Actually my boy just starting flagging and he loves it, he stated "I am not going back to the road, until I become a TO". However, he doesn't mind the hours or the overnight shift.

My question is do I have to do the medical all over again.Let me weight in on this being that I went through the same thing. If you don't clear your medical in time before they start pulling more names off the list then you will have to reinstate your name back on the list. Meaning unfortunately once you are called again when they pull the next batch of names off the list again, you will have to do the drug test & medical exam all over again. But the good news is you will have top seniority over all the people that were called along with you.???????????? And what I read this Conductor list was extended again.????????????

I thought I did my medical clearance in time not to loose my spot. Now to redo all that stuff all over again and possibly be placed on a medical hold and loose out again. I'll just wait and see what's going to happen. I get it but my question is why have me do a third drug test if I missed my opportunity. Why tell me to wait 90 days if I am going to get pulled from the list. Mine you every person I spoke to on Tuesday said it was fine that I cleared it up the medical. I have seen them tell people on the spot to restore their name to the list but nobody told me that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
