Everything you say is so true, even the change to the HR policy was done quietly. I've been with TxDot 8 years to long, just last year weapons were allowed in personal vehicles only, you get caught with it inside the gates and your canned.Scott Farkus wrote:I took a job at TXDOT about four years ago and there was a big deal made at my (2 daytexaszed4mc wrote:Thanks for the thread reference sir.

I didn't even have my CHL yet though I'd been in the process of researching the laws in anticipation of getting it. Another newbie and I spent the next two breaks arguing with the instructor about how ridiculous the policy was, of course to no avail. Wasn't her fault, that stuff comes down from on high and there ain't nothing you were going to be able to do about it.
This was but one of many policies and other idiocy that I couldn't deal with, so I moved on to something else. TXDOT was the definition of train wreck. I hope for the state's sake the new regime is making long overdue improvements, but I digress.
Our district is more than a train wreck!!! If you do your job your a trouble maker, if you allow the contractor to screw you and the taxpayers of Texas, they love you, its crazy!!!
