I worked for DFPS over a year ago, and there was talk about privatization, though it apparently still hasn't rolled out for my region. I'm looking into moving in a year or so, and I know they've already privatized there. I've been thinking about going back to CPS once I move.
How's it going? Or should I stay away now that its privatized?
Edit: it looks like it would be OCOK for the area I'm considering.
Is it common for supervisors to be strict about leaving before 5 on the DOT? At a unit meeting, it was expressed that leaving at 4:57-4:59 was a problem. I think its over the top. 3 minutes to 1 minute before 5? Really?
Is that my specific supervisor thing or have you all found this common with the State in general? At my previous agency this was NEVER a thing. Most people were heading out by 4:50 if they had everything wrapped up. It just rubs me the wrong way and seems like micromanaging.
Also being told that if you are walking into work at 8:02, you should've called and let them know you're going to be late, and that they'll be checking the door codes to see what time you arrived . Again, seems like overkill.
Maybe I was spoiled at my last agency or something, IDK.
