I feel like I could of answered the questions better. Thats awesome man, good luck! What position is your physical ability test for?

Hopefully I'll hear back from Metro North for the custodial position one of these days. in the meantime I guess I'll keep applying 😩 Sorry to hear that frank... It seems like what everyone is saying is true though. No news is good news. You got a denial right away and haven't had one for the custodian position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyD Posted July 17, 2019 Share #105 Posted July 17, 2019 With the announcement of possibly 1900-2700 layoffs, is it safe to say we have no shot now as far as the non essential positions are concerned? Is nothing set in stone yet as far as the reorganization plan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
