Everything is the state, Sacramento is the capitol and it's the most capitol capitol that I ever lived in. Like I lived in Lansing Michigan and there were some gov't buildings but like, everyone in Sacramento either works for the state or knows someone who does

This is a state university so it's different than a state office (which is actually pretty good, I looked at their HR policies and it doesn't seem like as much of a hassle to have salary negotiations.)

It's actually a coincidence in this case, because it's UC Davis (which is in nearby Davis, CA) but they have an "extension" office in Sac where they do some admin stuff and have classrooms for continuing education and places for people to proctor exams for online courses, that kind of thing. So a state job in the capitol but only by chance

I had to change my password recently and I used one with a special character in it. the system rejected it because of the special character. so I used a different one but the one with the special character had already been accepted for everything except my AD login. :negative:

PipeRifle posted:

Yeah and I was proactive, I sent them a thank-you note after the in-person interview and included my references, with colleagues and my most previous manager. They were like "this is cool but HR needs info for all your supervisors" so I sent them the emails I could find and their LinkedIn profiles and they were like "yeah we really need phone numbers so we can call, HR makes us ask these specific questions and we have to verify who they are over the phone"

So it's definitely like, confirmation/follow-up and not like they're going to ask them if I'm a cool dude. More like "did this guy actually work here" which I feel like is pretty much the last step. Plus the tone was like "we want to hire this guy" and then HR says they "have" to do these steps before they can go forward.

that's loving bizarre and strikes me as incredibly impractical. i'm at my third employer ever, and i know that the supervisor from my first job is retired and the supervisor from my second job has long since moved the gently caress on. how the gently caress would that work?

why the gently caress should they need to talk to your supervisors directly anyway? they should be calling their counterparts at your previous employers and having them confirm based on documentation/records.

Yeah like, I got one dude's office number and I called and they were like "we can't give you his desk number but we can connect directly if you call back, he's out for the day though" so I gave the new guys that switchboard number and said go for it. I'm not gonna hound a dude at a new job, remind him I worked for him 7-8 years ago, and ask if he has a personal number so someone else can call and chat with him about that.

Maybe it's all just good-faith poo poo like I didn't really have any info on my resume or my references sheet and I didn't have to fill out an application where you list your supervisor and their contact info. Maybe they just wanted to see that I put some effort into confirming who they were but yeah, you'd think that they either do it or they outsource that kind of data collection, not ask the applicant to track down proof that they worked somewhere
