Reply to Vacancies imperil city services, comptroller’s report concludes: Suggests hybrid option would help stem personnel exodus by arrogant_ambassador
The current pension tier needs to be reworked to entice more people to actually stay on. My agency tends to be a revolving door of younger workers who move on to other government positions or the private sector after a year or two. All agencies need to retain (at least some) people to mitigate knowledge gaps and continuity issues in long term projects.

Not surprising since the agency is funded like shit, foresters barely crack 60k once they attain their civil service title so turnover and vacancies can be high, these are the people that manage tree planting and other contracts and inspect street and park trees

Yeah the advice is pretty much: "get the pension but also open up another retirement account" not that the city will match those of course 🙄
