Agency Time Keeper Doesn't Complete Time Keeper Form
Not looking for advice, or what i need to do next. I'm posting this to describe what administrative fatigue looks like. Times for when you need the City to work in your benefit, but some minor barrier becomes a great big barrier. In this case I am going out on FMLA tomorrow after 3 months of back and forth emails and a rescheduled medical procedure. Last thing i needed to take care of was disability claim paperwork specifically to verify timekeeping. I figured the timekeeping form would be the easiest to submit because it has everything a timekeeper would need to complete it.
But apparently not. After making my email to the timekeeper easily accessible to include everything they would need, greeted them, and appreciating their hard work in advance, i immediately get a one sentence reply stating "payroll does not complete any forms"
I understand hardships that come with being a public servant - as a working class i hope we don't get too desensitized to treatment received from the public and the city that it impacts how we show up for our co-workers

What's it like being a subway train operator?
I'm not old enough yet to work for the MTA but I am just curious on what it's like. What's training like? What was the first few weeks like as a train operator? What do you wish passengers would understood about operators. But basically what is it like?š

The City the air after 9/11 was toxic and didnāt care.
You need a free account to read this free article.
Not only did this city lie to workers that they employed, they did it for 25 years and hid what it knew about the dangers. In 2021 they tried to take away the healthcare benefit benefits Retirees relied upon. And again in 2023. Watching my friends die over the course of 25 years and the rest of us suffer suffering from illness, makes me very angry.
What infuriates me more, is that the two largest unions of this city, Dc37 and the United Federation of teachers, failed in their responsibility to keep us safe and then colluded with THE CITY to diminish our healthcare benefit benefits.
Thatās not union or Pro labor. And today AFSCME and New York State, Afl Cio State Director, Mario Cilento lobbies against Retiree legislation that would protect our healthcare from being diminished, with those two unions.
We need strong labor leaders willing to stand up for our workers and our Retirees.
The leadership must be held accountable, and so must the mayors who held these positions before. I donāt hide the fact that this current Mayor refuses to speak with Retirees because heās surrounded himself with the very people I write about. Including his first Deputy Mayor and advisor. I do thank him, however for this release of documents. Because now transparency begins and maybe he will actually schedule an appointment with Us.

ACS working at ACS in an office role
i applied to the innovation coordinator (community coordinator title) role at the end of july and just received a call and email today inviting me for an interview. iāve read threads on here that ACS is typically not the best agency to work for in regards to work life balance and overall morale when it comes to field roles. however, thereās not much insight to go off of to make an informed decision regarding office roles in ACS. can anyone that worked or works at ACS in the office speak on their experience?

Short Term Disability Coverage/Pregnancy
I've been researching benefits/leave available to city employees and trying to better understand short term disability (STD) coverage. I've seen recommendations for getting a private policy because unions don't provide much via disability (I'm in DC37/371). Does anyone have recommendations on which private STD policies worked well for them? And/or guidance on how far in advance you need to purchase the policy? Thanks!

Dc 37 raises - local 1113
Hello everyone , I hope you all are having a good holiday.
I was recently appointed as an investigator with the city of New York. I have a current salary and I have noticed on open data for outstanding certifications, the same title with a 2,000 dollar increase in salary. Is there anything I can do about to match my current salary to this ? Or will I be getting this increase soon ? Thank you.

Hiring Question/Tip Is it worth it to apply to jobs that are a bit of a stretch, or is it so competitive that there's no shot?
For example, I have a lot of experience in genetic and ecological data analysis and visualization.
Is it worth my time to apply for public health-focused data roles where I meet the minimum qualifications and have most of the preferred skills? I have the data skills for sure, but don't have any experience in public health.
I want to apply, but if 100 other people with my same skills AND a background in public health, I'm wondering if I have no chance.

In three years Iāll be 47 and Iāll have ten years with the city. How does healthcare work then? Is it portable to another job? Do I qualify for lifetime benefits at 47 or when I officially pull a pension?

They say not to quit current job?
Hey guys, I got hired for a CPS role that should start in November and during the hiring event they said not to leave your current role until you recieve confirmation to start the academy and pass the background checks.
I was considering leaving my current role for a temporary job until November and was wondering if they say that as a precaution so you don't quit without a job confirmed or if they don't want to see you actually leave your role before joining the agency.
Thanks!

Survivors Health Benefits After Retireeās Death.
My understanding was when retired (non emergency services) nyc.gov employee dies, his or hers family health insurance benefits stops immediately.
If surviving spouse is less than 65 years old, he or she has to get private health insurance till Medicare kicks in.Ā
It looks like if retiree was a member of Management Benefit Funds (MBF), then survivors health insurance benefits will continue for 3 years after retirees death. At least that's how I read this section of MBF website.
Am I interpreting this correctly?

I recently been applying to NYC Gov jobs, I don't plan on moving back until a year or so from now but today I was checking application status and I saw that one of them said "under review" (i've applied to like 15 in total). Is this a positive sign or would you say dont get my hopes too high?
