This is False I only been working for the DMV in NYC about 2 months, we are under paid especially for the cost of living in NYC, as a full time employee your check won’t even reach $950
While rent is over 1300. We are force to work 12 hours shifts for 5 days straight while some of us have kids… just imagine entering a job at 8:15 am just to get out at 9:00pm each day. DMV workers are usually the punching bag for the State screw up. Yes there’s a lot of employees now to assist people on the floor but there’s a lack of counters to process at leading to longer wait times, so the state solution was to extend our shifts but by having us there longer doesn’t mean the customers are gonna leave out faster, we need more counters and a better number calling system

Lawyers can’t practice law without obtaining a license and obtaining one takes a lot of hard work. The reason for that is to weed out those who have no business working in that profession. Obviously the law is an important part of society and it makes sense to assure people who work in that field are capable, intelligent qualified.

Anyone who works in an official capacity should be aware of their own authoritative limits, which means having clear understanding of the laws that surround their work.

If a person has to stand in a line for 3 hours to take care of an issue, they shouldn’t be met with blank ignorant stares from people who can’t help because they don’t know the law. But that’s exactly what happens, and it happened to me the other day.

To be fair, the problem is more than just a lack of knowledgeable people. The DMV itself acts outside the scope of it’s authority, like when it demands registration for people who own private passenger/ house cars.

Registration is for commercial vehicles only. That may sound untrue to an ignorant person, but anyone who takes the time to read the laws knows that it’s true. And Ca Vehicle Code 260 makes the distinction clear. Only Commercial Vehicles require registration. That’s the law, whether the DMV likes it or not. Just because they want money doesn’t mean they can ignore the law. That’s not how the law works.

I know the law. I can read. I’m not stupid. The DMV intentionally makes it hard to deal with and try not to mention it. They violate the law and then hide like cowards from having to communicate with anyone questioning it. You’re forced to go to the office to talk to the people who know nothing about the law. Ignorant people who even try to argue that it’s wrong. I’m not wrong, they are! And unfortunately for them I know how to make them pay for it whereas most people will just give up, which is what they want. But they can only get away with what you let them. You have to stand your ground.

And if I have to go through all that just to get some officials to follow their own laws, it’s going to cost them for wasting my time. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Especially for government officials who deal with those legal issues.

I shouldn’t have to take time from my life just to explain the operation of laws to a government agency who’s operation consists of enforcing laws on other people everyday. That’s just dumb.

If the DMV doesn’t know what the hell the law is, then they have no business trying to enforce it on others. AND If they don’t like the law and refuses to follow it, then they have no business expecting others to do it.

That is a “real job”.

I talked to a DMV worker the other day – her and her husband drive a new BMW’s and Lexus. That is outtrageous. This is where your taxpayer money is going people.

They do pay a huge chunk into pensions and a ridiculous amount towards health care. They haven’t had a simple cost of living increase in years and their take home pay keeps getting smaller and smaller. Educate yourself before you speak!

The same manual states one definition of “insubordination” as follows: “any attempt to make management appear incompetent.” Some of these quotes do just that.

The release of this information appears to contradict many state policies in which violation of can result in adverse action.
