CalSTRS

I’m all down for having a consolidated building for the teacher retirement fund of California but this building is just an eyesore.

I used to be part of the public school system in California. Many budget issues caused an incredible amount of layoffs. I was affected by this process when it all started in 2008. I had only been working for the school district for 3 years.
Since then, I’ve been trying to transfer my CALSTRS contributions to my Thrift Savings Plan in Alabama. Four years later CALSTRS have not been able to do this successfully.
There are forms required by the Thrift Savings Plan which CALSTRS received and finally released my check to them May of 2013. Unfortunately, they scanned my tsp-​60 document with a post-​it note attached over the main account information and sent the scan to the Thrift Savings Plan. Then took the original document and shredded it. So, now my thrift savings plan is just holding the check and can’t use it.
There should be an IQ requirement to be allowed to manage funds /​client accounts.

Five stars for giving me a place to work and keeping me here for a year and a half! That is all!
