Mod here- reminder of the purpose of this group.
What This Sub Is For
This is a space for current state employees or prospective employees to discuss the broader scope of state employment. Think of this as the "water cooler" for the big picture, such as: General workplace culture and environment. State-wide policy changes or legislative updates affecting employees.
The hiring process, benefits, and general career advice within the state system. General discussion on things happening within the scope of our employment.
What This Sub Is NOT For
This is not a public help desk for specific agency operations. Please do not post questions related to specific job tasks or public-facing services, such as: "Why hasn't my specific license been approved yet?" "How do I apply this specific type of benefit?" "What do I need to do to pass my driver’s test?"
There are already official channels and specialized forums for those technical, "how-to" questions. This sub is for the employees themselves, not for troubleshooting specific work assignments or public inquiries.
A Note on Moderation I’m not looking to rule this group with a heavy hand or stifle conversation. However, the goal is to keep the feed relevant to our professional community. If I see these types of specific "job activity" posts becoming more frequent, I will have to start removing them to keep the sub on track.
Let’s keep the discussions focused on the experience of being a state employee. Thanks for being part of the community!
