I just got the email for track worker list 35xx. I’m currently a bus operator in my 1st year.  Do you think making the switch to track worker would be better or should I stay where I am?

Mta recently called me for pre employment. They are asking for Successful completion of a drug/alcohol laboratory examination. What is that and where do I go get one?

Got the email today for pre employment #38** and I’m reading all the papers I have to fill out.
 

I have 2 questions, the first one is do they call the employer that fired me? if I got my first vaccine on 2021 and thinking of getting the second one this week. Will I have an issue getting hired? I’m not fully vaccinated right now and my appointment is 3/15

I’m in the same boat man I’m thinking of going down there to find out all the things I need to fill out

Hey guys, I’m so torn right now. I have a sales job making $90K+ at the moment. It’s laid back and I’m good at it. Yet, bad benefits and obviously no pension. I need the scoop on the job, is it worth it? I know it’s a lot of labor but what are my pros and cons and should I leave my current job at the moment for that pay cut?

Good afternoon everyone.  What happens if you fail the drug test? Do they automatically disqualify you? Also, I'm hearing they check for alcohol and drugs...how true is this and does anyone know what can be done if you was to fail?

If the two dose vaccination requirement is still in place, than you are being sent home. I would schedule for the second dose immediately and do the math on when the two weeks are up so that they can reschedule you.

I called and was told that they are reviewing my employment history that it takes time.
