In the weeks leading up to class the training department will send out a list of names and contact info of everyone (with their permission) to help people buddy up with each other to get a place. One bedroom apartments are pricy as heck but a two bedroom usually isn’t much more. So the roommate option is usually the way to go. I had three other roommates at the time that I worked there. All of them OO employees lol.

That's extremely nice that they look out for their employees in that way rare indeed.

It’s probably become a necessity due to how rents have gone up there. I know that back in the early 2000s it wasn’t hard to afford a one bedroom apartment on SGU on what they paid…my friend there had one…but today that apparently is no longer the case.

This. The market blew up in the late 10's and going into Covid. It's become the Florida of the west for West Coasters wanting to retire somewhere with decent weather and lots of golf. Before each class starts they also send an email out to the floor asking if anyone has a spare room they're looking to rent. They got a pay bump in starting pay a year or two ago but (without saying anything negative bc it really is a great place to get your career started) you're still going to need a roommate. Once able, go be a trainer or system controller for the extra override, it definitely softens the blow.
