They didn't furlough us last year either! They just cut our pay for a week. That's gotta be the plan here!
Glad to hear we're not getting furloughed. Sucks we're losing our holidays. How has it come to this? I remember a time in this county when taking pride in your job earned you a respectable raise. Now we just do our best to get paid for a fair day's work. We work a job where 29 fellow officers have already given their lives this year, yet we struggle to make ends meet and have to work part time jobs to take care of our families. Families that are all too often falling apart because someone's never there, they're always working. I
d love to coach my son's little league team, but if I want to afford to put him on it, I've got to go babysit some drunks at the local pub to afford it because the job I put my life on the line for everyday doesn't fell my efforts are worth a damn! What a sad sad world we live in.
I agree with Aonymous #1. We didn't get furloughed last year, they just took our paid and made us work for free. That does not mean they are still not going to take our pay!!!! What about pension and insurance? We are still not out of the water here. These fools are up to something! At the first meeting when people and officers were speaking, those people sat up there like they didn't care. They were chating with eachother, the code 4 crook walked in late about 40 minutes after the meeting. I will not be satisfied till all of them are voted out!
At this critical stage in county finance, seize the moment to reduce the size of government. Start with sanitation, motor maint, tire shop (den of thieves anyway, steal the county blind and mismanaged). Anything taken from us now will not be given back. Even in good economic times PD and Fire had cuts. The sharp, educated officers are leaving and moving on, we are left with clock punchers.
don't worry if the conuty stops putting into the pension guess what they no longer have a say in what is done with that money it will be 20 and out for all employees at 85 percent and they wont let their hand be taken out of the cookie jar
