Unless Queens has every college student within the DSNY, and people running for father of the year. I will stay with guys who are tired of bouncing, and that cannot hack the truck. lol I will also be willing to bet that the amount of guys taking college courses that are broom operators is less than 25 out of every district in the city.

NOT DISAGREEING WITH YOU. JUST SPEAKING FOR A HANDFUL THAT I KNOW. THE REALITY IS THERE ARE SLUGS HOLDING TISSUES ALL OVER THE CITY. MY OPINION OF THE WORST IS FBF TO BROOM TO SUPERVISOR. THE ONES THAT I KNOW ARE TOTALLY LOST.

I agree there also but,if you know someone when you get on or have family then I have no problem with that.There are many that get there "hooks" by going to the society meetings( kissing ass ) and have no shame in doing so.It's funny to watch these people at work...when they see any kind of brass they slober all over themselves! You dont have to know anyone to get promoted either! Chief Harbin which is a three star never knew anyone but always was very good at what he did.These Chiefs no the phonies ( kiss asses ) and they no just how to utilize them. In every job it's always nice to have that person that can lick your butt clean time and time again.

I am trying to figure that out as well,going to go out on a limb and say it is the street sweeper/mechanical broom. Those things are noisy and go very slow,seen one of them stall at a light once,took the guy about 5 minutes before he got it moving again,the engine was running but it wasn't going forward or backward.

What i'm taking in from all of this is ....that a "broomie" ranks very low at DOS. Is that the overall feeling here?
