That's insane so if I get this job I'll have to buy a damn car. All this time I was thinking they might start hiring after a few months.
You don't NEED a car, but I have to imagine it would be a huge pain in the ass without one.
The current list is good to feb 2016, so you guys will all get your list numbers around August/ September 2015, the first hires will come off this list around July 2016, so at best your waiting a little over a year from now, at worst your waiting 5 years from now cause the list will most likely expire early 2020
Hey fellas I hope you all did well on the exam. I have a quick question. I lost my yellow sheet with the answers which I was supposed to take home with me. Since the exam had us put our social security number on everything, I can't for the life of me remember if we had to put our social security number on the yellow sheet. Can anyone confirm if we had to put our social on the yellow take home answer sheet? I'm terrified someone might utilize my information for identity theft lol.
It sucks that we have to wait freaking 4 years that's insane. I'm 25 now so by the time they call me I'll be almost 30. I did apply for the test on 10/29 I don't know if that makes me last or even have a chance to get hired-__-
Def one of the guys that'll get on, get round robined a few times, baskets every night, and quits cause this job sucks, and then at 40 will be saying **** I'm an idiot
For your entire career you have no schedule, our orders are given on a day to day basis. Naturally the more seniority you get the easier it is to stay steady, but no garenteed shifts. Everyday at 1:30 they give you your hours for the next day, and if it's midnight, your coming back in the same night at 12. Only have to allow 8 hours between shifts. And yes they can send you to any garage. In any borough, any day.
Yikes! It amazes me how the general public (people like torper) can give y'all crap, but be so clueless on what goes on behind the scenes. People like him wouldn't make a month on the job.
I said it before & I'll say it again, y'all deserve every penny.
The no schedule part stinks (no pun intended lol) I thought y'all got to pick similar to transit with seniority & the shift change that just blows.

It sounds way crappier than it actually is, in the beginning it's very crappy cause you have no seniority, once you get some time it steadys out.
