What I loved working at #StateofCalifornia
How they take care of their state employees. After 10 years you are 50% vested; after 20 years you are 100% vested , which means full pension and health benefits. The benefits are unbeatable and they take care of their own until death, literally.

Drama at #StateofCalifornia

What I loved working at #StateofCalifornia
The abundance of overtime money. What blessing.

What I loved working at #StateofCalifornia
Good co workers,

I would tell my past self that working at #StateofCalifornia is
Start saving for retirement with first paycheck! If I had, I'd have a LOT Morin my IRA. Not sure how the retirement "tiers" work now, but I started in Tier 2, changed after 14 years to Tier 1. If I had started in Tier 1, I'd be getting around $5,000 a month, instead of $2,700. No matter what you do, "work" towards your retirement goals.
