I'm taking the pre employment medical evaluation for San Francisco fire department soon...I take a benzodiazepine as needed when I go to the dentist or on airplanes... it's gonna be in my system I think, i wasn't even thinking about it. Should I be worried??
Hi everyone! I was recently invited to take the 1822 Administrative Analyst Test and have a 3‑hour window to complete it sometime in the next 6 days. I’ve been trying to find information about the test format or sample questions so I can prepare, but haven’t had any luck.
Does anyone have any insight or experience with this exam that they’d be willing to share? Thank you so much!
why isn't the city offering early retirement packages? Wouldn't it completely close the budget shortfall to get rid of a bunch of dead weight? (I'm referring specifically to the folks who are coasting and simply waiting to retire....)
Hey everyone,
I am a local resident here in San Francisco. While I don’t work an hourly job myself, I have so many close friends, neighbors, and people in my community who do. It feels like every single month I hear about someone else having to pack up and leave the city because the math just doesn't add up anymore.
I wanted to open up a real discussion to hear directly from SF's workforce. How are you navigating the cost of living right now? What percentage of your paycheck is actually going toward your rent? Are people having to work multiple jobs just to stay afloat?
I am trying to help gather real-world data to take straight to city officials and housing advocates to show them the true reality of our workforce's housing burden.
Below is the link for the survey. Feel free to partake in the survey or share with the community. You can choose to have your information shared with housing advocates and the Mayor's Staff for future follow up and housing help, or you can choose to remain 100% anonymous and do not have to leave any personal information at all just have your input count.

Please note that the first round of survey data will be collected July 31 2026 and turned into the Mayor's Office on August 1 2026 and the same every month collected the last day of the month and turned in to our Mayor's office on the first day of Every month there after, in hopes for either better wages or lower affordable housing or better yet both.......
Look in the following comments for the PDF printable Flyer you can share at work (if authorized by HR) or hand out to fellow working friends.....
DFPS Directors get 20-30% raise, meanwhile there are freezes within the department, investigators dropping like flies, no funds to hire new trainers in Learning and Development and lowering travel for investigators. Does anyone know what’s going on? On top of that everyone is return to work (even when unnecessary) which is a big pay cut!!
If I am applying for jobs at SF city and county,
Has anyone worked at or currently works at the SF DHR? Would love to hear honest thoughts on what it’s like to work there.
Curious about:
- Day to day work culture
- Work life balance
- Leadership and team dynamics
- Anything you wish you’d known before joining
Any feedback appreciated, good or bad!
Started a city job a little more than a year ago and i have never worked at a place with so much bullying, backstabbing and intimidation as i've seen in this dept. a friend who worked for the city warned me that it can be like that sometimes, but this is beyond what i imagined. i woudl think the job security would make people less obnoxious in that way, but apparently not. i imagine it varies according to departments. why do people act this way, and have folks found strategies to combat it? its just annoying and petty to me, and a distraction from the real work at hand. has anyone else experienced this?
So what the fuck was the point of last Thursday's meeting? The mayor constant threats of layoffs and they proceed to give out fake awards? I hope the person working in HR who got the best hiring award feel great about themselves. Don't forget the BRING YOUR KID TO OFFICE DAY OR LUNCH TIME GAMING WITH NINTENDO SWITCHES
Anyone from HR know if this website is accurate , timely and reliable : https://sfdhr.org/permanent-civil-service-appointments . I have a number of applications in the system that are not going anywhere and I do not want to pester the recruiters... I have been using this as a monitor... but I could be wasting my time.
