The majority of the sub is civil servant hating WFHers. Congrats to everyone that got an email! Great benefits, pension and salary, and also a greatly needed position.

From what I can tell no one hates civil servants as a category.

People hate bad police officers and people hate civil servants who lie about overtime. Otherwise civil servants are pretty respected.

People were literally calling for all corrections officers to be fired, who are largely PoC and women.

I live at a terminal and really appreciate all the work they do to keep the trains cleaned. It's not easy and sometimes the turn around is just a few minutes. If you ever see a subway cleaner say thank you! The work they do is thankless.

JunkratOW t1_itszz9d wrote

Pay is $19 hr/ and jumps to $31 after 6 yrs. Another job where you have to grind overtime just to barely make ends meet.

How much do you want to clean garbage? $31 an hour isn’t bad and you don’t have to live in the city you get free train rides

Redditors?

150k a year with 3 months paid vacation, medical, dental, vision, and the ability to WFH and pick up garbage virtually on zoom 3 out of 5 days a week.

Anything short of that is unfair and radical unchecked capitalism.

UrbanAssault t1_itu496h wrote

MTA hasn't hired cleaners in years the list was short. The contract cleaners was a backhand deal signed by the union during the pandemic. There was a mass exodus of people who retired out of fear of catching COVID. They are starting to hire for every title. Compared to how they did it before with cleaners which was to call people off of a list from a different job.

How was the work overall

UrbanAssault t1_itu4jk1 wrote

The job is different by department if you go Stations vs Car Equipment.

Dumb question but Do cleaners get drug tested for weed?

UrbanAssault t1_itvbvy8 wrote

i believe they do specially for safety sensitive titles, but random drug test are rare once your a cleaner unless you give them a reason to send you down for one.

No-Mirror4864 t1_iu9kzse wrote

Which is one is more simple? Also what did you mean with your other comment “the list was short”?

UrbanAssault t1_iu9vfh2 wrote

The cleaning is somewhat simple what changes is the work environment depending on dept. Cant really speak on stations but its somewhat self explanatory, Car Equipment your in a maintenance shop/yard or at a terminal station. When I was hired there were just under 900 cleaners, I think they've hired up to 12XX.
