does the Refuse train count as Div-C??  
MW  =  Div C correct?

 

Refuse is part of Miscellaneous, yes.

Minimum of two years to get in yes. In the end, all you need to know is, if you think you have it bad now, you definitely will not like work trains XL/XX. It's XX on meth.

It’s not for everyone that’s for damned sure. The only picked job (that I know of) where you can report to both A and B division locations in the same week. 
Living in Brooklyn and having been B division my entire career, then getting told to report to 241st was crazy.

Only on a Night i can't sleep and going through my emails and see i received email telling me to come to my medical appointment on Monday at 630am. I would of never noticed the email because mta was not in the subject line 🤷🏽‍♀️ well I'm definitely excited thank god i looked on time because i would of been highly upset to miss this opportunity I've been waiting on for months ! Also since i just noticed the email I'm not able to get a money order since P.O. are closed on sundays! Will they let me get a money order at the medical interview 

Did you go for pre-employment last week (the week of Jan 1)?

I also received the email to report on Thursday. So should I start giving my current employer my 2 week notice?

No, do not quit nor give a 2 week notice until you are offered an offer & they give you a start date.

Definitely not. Only after you’re given an actual start date.

So fyi....

I was called in Thursday on Wednesday, was asked if I could make a Monday class.

I said yes. Went in for medical after already doing a second drug test week prior. I was there the entire day till 1630.

Showed up for work Monday.

Word of advice..... Wait till they officially tell you your start date. And only then..... Give notice. 

 

My opinion, if you do what you are supposed to do, you this will be your last job you will need. Don't worry about giving short notice to last job.... This is the job.... period!!

No i was called the week before to come in 

[Nyhoneydip]

Finally as of today i got my start date on 1/30 and can i say I'm in shock! I went to do medical today and was there since 630 to alittle after 2 and finished the whole process! Thank you to everyone that responded to my questions and all the info that was shared! I can't wait to start this new journey! And for all of those who are about to start don't quit your job! Try to go on leave and see if the job is for you before completely leaving! Again good luck and hopefully i see some of you on the first day of training

Only if one is expecting to deal with some sacrifice because there will be some indeed if not and one is "expecting" to be treated like others who got it better(because that's the bottom line here  some folks can sugar coat it all they want) then don't bother...

Like I'm seeing a lot lately...

You'd think some folks never worked in their lives...

[Charliedragon]

I just got my email tonight to go for the medical on 1/17/23. says the class will be January 30th. My List # is 54xx I was 9/14 pre employment, did 2nd drug test on 1/6/23

I don’t think that’s the proper way to think about it. The newer generation coming into the job just doesn’t want to put up with the bs. It’s not about laziness, it’s about not being treated like just another number. This is just what I gleaned from talking to our coworkers who have less than 3 years on the job.
Of course, there are people who complain baselessly, but I agree to an extent to them questioning why the work environment can be so hostile at times. 
Saying “it’s just how it is”, “there is no logic in transit” and “that’s what we all went through” isn’t a valid response to them questioning the archaic system we work in anymore. Hardship does not directly equate to hard work, if that makes sense. 
Again, there most certainly are lazy people who just don’t want to work, but the ones who make legitimate and reasonable complaints tend to get, unfairly, mixed in with them. 

I’m happy to say that it seems the work culture is changing slowly but surely, with the newer generation of supervisors and managers moving up the ranks and trying to affect positive change.
