LexAveExp5 Posted February 26, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 26, 2010 is this freeze directly due to a financial emergency? http://www.cs.state.ny.us/pio/publications/summofcsl.pdf "Additionally, should a financial emergency restrict the filling of vacancies, the Department of Civil Service may, in its discretion, extend the duration of the list for a period equivalent to the length of the restriction." -page 9 I WANT THIS LIST TO EXPIRE IN OCTOBER LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted February 27, 2010 Share #3 Posted February 27, 2010 There is no freeze - there is a temporary lull due to some WD internal restructuring. An updated hiring plan was to have been released today, but I was at a funeral in NJ. When more is known, I'll post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted March 1, 2010 Share #8 Posted March 1, 2010 Someone had said before that RTO does not do a hiring freeze, they just slow down on hiring. Thats only what I heard, don't know if it is 100% true of not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LexAveExp5 Posted March 2, 2010 Share #11 Posted March 2, 2010 none of us have gotten our official scores back yet but when i checked my answers online (i checked them twice to make sure), i got 3 wrong out of 80. that gives me a tentative score of 96.25 but i challenged all 3 i got wrong in the protest review session so its possible (though not probable) that i can still score 100. but anyway, a 96.25 might go farther on this test than the last one because so many ppl said it was harder (and didnt know where Hunter College was hehe. that was one of the questions on the test) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on the T/O exam, I wouldn't know about the conductor exam since I never took that. There is no excuse for somebody born in NYC to get that question wrong.

Alex for a school car tss with inside knowledge, you sure don't keep it updated. There is a hold on all RTO hiring at the moment. Please stop leading people to believe they are getting hired.

Blatherskite Posted May 7, 2010 Share #24 Posted May 7, 2010 Then why, as of early this week, does a friend of mine who works in school car scheduled to teach a class of C/Rs in May? Because your friend is wrong, mistaken, has not received up to date information, or is lying to you. What do I know though? I've been right every single time.

Blatherskite Posted May 7, 2010 Share #25 Posted May 7, 2010 And for all of your information, there is another reason why they are laying off station agents and cleaners besides wanting to do so before the economy got bad. Many of the ones getting laid off are at top pay, meaning they will get to top pay for conductor immediately when they get called up for the conductor promotion. By laying them off, they stop paying them their top pay salaries as station agents, and also end up exhausting the promo c/r list faster, instead bringing in new conductors from the o/c list at $18.xx and hour instead of about $26 or $27 an hour, what ever top pay is for conductor now. That's about 9 dollars an hour less they will pay for o/c conductors. Without overtime, that equates to $360 less per week they have to pay new conductors, and $18,720 for the first year. With over time extra extra conductors would get, transit would save even more per employee. They were planning a May conductor class, but they scrapped it. They are definitely not going to do it until they finally get to lay off the Station Agents, which will be some time soon, after the court case is done. So BTwhat ever your name is, keep your opinions to yourself, when you have no clue, and no one asked for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
