Do you know where I can submit the application for parking permit? I have it filled out in my back since I started school car TSS said it has nothing to do with him not sure where or who to submit it with? Any info is appreciated 

I submitted mine at concourse yard..u have to be there before 11 30am. The supt's secretary takes care of it for u in the barn. 

 

If you are A division then do it at Westchester yard. Also at the barn. Just look for the supt's office.

@underground traveler maybe they haven’t updated that specific column because I don’t see “list certification” as a column for anyone name let alone mine. Before they made this update I did see that specific column. Yours is showing up ?

@underground traveler thank you so much that was very helpful. I’m in the 600’s I’m guessing that’s good ? Lol and where it says provisional rep… it says “Y” and the rest of my exams I’ve took says “N” so I’m guessing that’s a good thing as well ? Wish I understood how it works. Sorry if I’m bothering

On the list check the coloum that says "list certification" thats the number of people ahead of you to be hired. As far as expiration date dont really pay that any mind they will continue to call and process people until the list closes and it might even get extended. 

Oh they going to use this list up....

Folks coming here and quitting or their attuites are like this is a nine to five job..

Public service don't work that way...

Its a hard commitment yes no doubt, yet if one stays the coruse you cant  wrong.

I always say "If one can find something better go for it don't stay here"...

If one wanna quit because one cant hang out with  friends or  "they want a life" or some other nonsense  then the service industry is always hiring...

I paid my dues and in  four years god willing I'm out and i plan on enjoying my retirement at 56...

Got a house paid off in Fl and a Co-op that's almost paid off here...

My REAL life begins when i retire...

@RTOMan yea I don’t care for friends partys clubs I want to work take vacations and enjoy life after retirement. The same people and places will be here after. It’s time to make money provide for family and be happy. I’ll work 40-70 hours a week who cares I’ll enjoy my days off and my vacations. I’m going to commit myself to the job and stay focused and do my best when my time comes.

With a mindset like that you'll have a good carrier down here...

That's my mindset now as well, i  started with it and ill end with it.

I was in one of the first open competitive classes from off the street(Oct 2001) and I know exactly what it’s like to be brand new… Im always willing to help like my classmates are … Basically because back then there wasn’t too many folks looking to help us…

Just some random questions if anyone wanna chime in.  thanks in advance!

1)  what's the average time a newbie has to be here until he/she can win a bid/pick?  say RDO relief?

2) what about vacataion relief?  how much of senority until you pick those?

3) let's have a mini vote?  which is better RDO relief or Vacation relief?  i suppose it's subjective right?

4) and of course...once a newbie can pick a job....i keep hearing they get scraps. is it REALLY that bad?  like...only those 3-4 trippers are left??

1) there really isnt an average time depends on luck right after the pick like a couple of weeks after the bid sheets come out bid on anything that works for you, it's like the lotto you never know until you try. 

2) senority it depends on how many people retired, or got promoted. You can easily pick within a year and a half or later or sooner it really depends. I've been out since last year octoberish and I'm picking this December. So it depends on the luck of the draw tbh.

3) I'd prefer either or you get your set days off and your preferred tour. Just my 2 cents.

4) sometimes you can get the scraps that the senior guys don't want, and there's not only 3 to 4 trips left, people pick based on what works for them. Sometimes the job can pick you which means you get no say on what job you get.

1+2) Judging by the jobs that sat unfilled, it seems that even brand new employees can win a *temporary* bid if they actually did some research and bid for some jobs. If you're talking about a pick, then it ultimately depends on how seniority plays out. It *seems* to move slower in the A, so mentally budget 2 to 3 years. It could be sooner, it could be later.  It all depends on how many people retire and take promotions.

3) RDO Relief is great if you want to pick something and be done with it. VR is great if you want some flexibility to do different things, but have some attempt at control. With that said, I prefer RDO Relief.

4) Honestly, yes, when you first pick, the jobs available aren't going to be the best, but for some people, it's better than being at the mercy of the crew office. As always, you can bid your way up into somebody else's vacancy as a number of my classmates did this pick...

Smh this makes no sense.  Livingston told me I need to reinstate my name back to list last month after I cleared medical hold yet I spoke to DCAS Friday and they told me I'm still on the list.

Edit: DCAS said I was never removed from the list

I was told the same thing that my name was still on the list but I was offside because I failed to report to medical aka medical hold.

Who do we reach out to if we have to change our pre-employment date? Was supposed to go tomorrow but Monday night I tested positive for Covid

What!??! CONGRATS!  is it temp or permanent?  and you get to choose which lines on the XL list?  are the tours better too in terms that you pick on the XL?

It's temp. It's south so it's the D, N, Q, B I think. It's pms. You should bid too I'm sure you could get something since I did. There should be another bids sheet coming out soon. Just keep checking on mtatoday under the subway/service delivery page.

So many people come and leave in training or shortly after. I can't believe it. So far half my class thinking about leaving 3 are leaving for sure.

Congrats! I'm coming from a job where the hours here are a cake walk compared to the 16-24 hour shifts you work in correction. Regardless this job gives you a chance as your seniority goes up. Eventually you will get the job you want and rdo's.
