My garage has 5 or 6 guys w papers in with their last days all within next few months. And 2 on terminal . 3 guys who retired already this past nov/dec. So there are guys leaving, and my garage is somewhat senior. Only one guy had more than 20yrs who is leaving. . I predict they will hire this year just , just a matter of when and how many.
i took the test when i was 17 in 2007 and missed that by like 500 ppl ,retook it in 2015 and now may miss out withen 50 ppl , unreal man , will not be taking any more tests though , if i dont make this list i think im out of ny , this whole virus epicenter here was kinda the last straw , im sure many agree
This is an excellent job, but TBH, theres def times I feel like this job is keeping me in NYC when I really would rather be somewhere else. I dont regret taking the job, but I def think about how my life woulda turned out if I left this city.
If you werent aware, year 2000 was a massive hiring year for the department. 10 guys in my garage are leaving within the next few months. 3 on terminal right now
For those that are curious there is currently 714 employees at DSNY of all uniform ranks that started with the city in the year 2020.
That number includes people who may already be on terminal leave and also includes people who started at a different agency.
I dont think its in debate if the Dept would normally hire, to account for retirements etc. Of course they would. The real question is due to the pandemic are they going to suspend hiring (likely) and just cut functions, and go with lots of OT. Paying the existing workforce OT is still much cheaper than hiring a new employee. Its my personal opinion that with the upcoming budget cuts, and the continuing social distancing policies etc, hiring will not take place this year, but its all just a guessing game at this point. As usual, the advice is just be prepared for the call, but keep on living your life as if its not coming.
Guys waiting to be hired. If you don’t make it from this list. Unless you have 15-20 extra credit points you’re not getting hired off next test either. I’ll bet there are gonna five times the amount of applicants for next test. So think long term and plan accordingly. May be time for some of you guys to give up the dream and move on

I’ve only been on the job a year but I think about this all the time. The only thing keeping me going in sanitation is knowing I can retire in 22 years and then can live wherever I want, making as much as other people that work into their 60s while sitting on my ass.

I don’t know how you’re getting to the conclusion that people won’t be hired off next test from here. The difference of 1-2 more questions right can put these guys in the first thousand list numbers...not to say it won’t take a while still
I got my cdl from sanitation and im still waiting... if i dont get the call i will just take it and look else where. Kinda sucks but at least we are all healthy and safe
This job doesn't care about its workers during this time. Its sad but if i had a good job opportunity out state id take it in a heartbeat. Dont wait on this job its a great job but theres allottttt of stupidity going on
