He's in California, which as we all know, plays by its own rules.

In California, any person convicted of a felony (or of a crime in another jurisdiction that would be a felony in California) is prohibited from employment as a California peace officer [Cal. Govt Code §1029(a)].

Each hospital runs its own separate police department that's independent of the others.

Ratatatat,

I'm guessing you are somewhere on the east coast or nearby. California is what's know has a "home rule" or "local rule" state. What the means is, each city, county government entity wants to retain as much power as possible locally. That's why we don't...

Ratatatat,

These are hospitals for the criminally insane. (Not guilty by reason of insanity.) The patients are not someone with anxiety trying to off themselves, It's little JoJo killing three nuns because Kermit the Frog told him to do so.

Their PDs are not someplace you...

My last comments were rhetorical and not real questions.

The comments in my first response are the best advice I can give you.

CCCSD, perhaps you would like to take over here and offer your unique words of wisdom to the OP in this matter?...

How sadly convenient you have no contact information for your ex BIL

Did you personally check the medical marijuana cards of everyone at the party who was smoking, or wherever else you intentionally remain where people are smoking?

With your attempts at justification and diversion,...

[L-1]

First, I'm assuming you are in a state where marijuana is still illegal.

I wouldn't have a problem with the first use, assuming that on the background your BIL confirmed that he put the THC in your vape without your knowledge.

As far as the second incident is concerned, you...

It's more like being hooked on good dope. It's hard to quit. (That too, is a joke.)

[L-1]

I completely forgot about the leave credits in my post. I don't know what the rates are now, but by the time I retired I was earning 9 weeks a year. That was like only having to work 10 months out of the entire year.

I think the CAP on annual leave is 816 hours on the 1st of the year...

Not to belittle your new job, but where I'm at, analyst positions in my state government are "dime a dozen" assistants to management. They are expected to be jacks of all trades who do all the scut work for managers in just about any area where help is needed.

Assuming you state...

Madre de Dios!!!!!!!! Where do I start.

OK, 5/8s. Yeah they suck. But odds are they’re not going to be here forever. Shift schedules are a meet and confer issue and it may be a while, but I’m guessing you will see a change down the road as the Association negotiates new contracts....

If you have applied with a civil service agency ahd have actually been removed, you should received a written notice as you usually have certain appeal rights that have to be respected. Often there are time limitations within which you must file your appeal, so they must notify you.

However,...

Most city, county and state agencies will only accept a written application, whose sole purpose is to determine your identity and whether you possess the minimum requirements for admission to the testing process. From there, you will be administered written and oral exams that measure your actual ability...

It could be any number of reasons.

Applicants usually list select references who will only speak positively about them, so your BI may have decided not to waste her time having smoke blown up her rear end. OTOH, it may be she already has enough information about you to make a decision....

In most agencies you don't get a letter or email saying congratulations, you passed the poly. If you fail, you get the dreaded DQ letter. If you pass, you hear nothing and your package goes back in line to be processed in the order of your score, as vacancies occur.

As has been said here...

[L-1]

Most tests measure your ability to perform the duties of the job. Either you have the ability or you don't. In that respect, there's not a lot to study for.

Contact HR. Find out:

1. What your position number is on the hiring list.
2. How long the list is good for.
3. How many people they expect to hire from the list while it is valid.

Take a minute or two to do some math and your question should be answered.

If you are number 50 on the...

I really don't have the time, but you can look yourself. Start here:

One last thing to think about, if an agency only has a few vacancies, that usually means no one wants to leave. In turn, that usually signifies its a good place to work for, so not wanting to test where they only want to hire a few people might be a bad idea.

Check into the agency before...

Gina,
