I just found out I'm not eligible for a job because of paperwork not completed 15 years ago.
In 1992 Civil Service came into full effect. In the classifications for Police there was non-competitive and competitive. All those that were on the job prior to the "lists" had to have paperwork filled out that put them into the competitive classification.
I just found out that I am not eligible for a part time Deputy position because the lazy Chief of Police never did this paperwork in 1992 and despite the fact that I never knew it was even required ..........I now pay the price for his negligence.
I asked why this change was not "automatic" and got the helpful response from our local civil service director of "Just Because".
