Thanx, babe. I might go back up there tomorrow. I already spoke to my warden, and he wants to talk things over. I doubt, however, that I'll go back. I'm just seriously burnt out at that damn job, and I have a good ebough resume that I can get work again very quickly.

Hope it works out for you dude

You gave up your job over a $20 copay? Then, you want to ask for a payraise? HOLY F*CK you are a dumbass.

No, moron. I gave up my job because I refuse to work for an agency that will discipline me because I'm a father. My family comes first and foremost before anything, including my state of well being. I quit comfortably because I have more than enough money to sustain me until I find a new job. I quit my job because of a$$holes who have the same state of mind like you do. Also, I didnt say "I'm going to go back and ask for a payraise." Show me where I said that. Go ahead. I'll wait.....................................

Couldnt find it? Probably because I never said that. I said I'd go back, sit down and talk man to man with my warden, and ask him for more. "More" meaning more respect and more leverage against a$$holes who want to very unfairly punish me for things that are 100% out of my control. You should go back to junior high school and learn to read before you curse people and call them dumbass.

Ohhh....that's mad cool. Is it true that the cafeteria cooks in prison make 100 grand per year?

Uhh, no. 😛 The cooks are the inmates. Everything is made by them, including the food in the Officers Dining Room that we eat. However, there are Kitchen Officers that monitor the inmates while they cook so they won't urinate/defecate/put anything into the food.

I'd emmigrate to Australia in a heartbeat. Seriously.

Nice new sig

i dont mean to be crued or anything, but i think dude was trying to say you have some physical illness for wanting to take care of your daughter. he probably thinks there are medications for that.

Which is why I refuse to work for an a$$hole like that. I'd rather work at a damn Wal-Mart until I land a better job. However, I have a friend at The Home Depot who might be able to get me in the door to talk with the boss. I'm OSHA certified to operate a forklift.

So three days ago, I called into work because I didn't have anyone to watch my kid. Everyone was either sick, or just plain unavailable because of work or prior engagements. So, I have sick time on the books, and I usually NEVER miss work unless I'm very sick, and I call in to my lieutenant and explain my situation. The following is pretty much what was said over the phone:

[b]"Sir, I have absolutely nobody to watch my daughter. I won't be able to come in tonight."

"Okay. I understand, however you're going to have to bring in a doctor's excuse when you come back to work."

"But I'm not sick, sir. I just don't have anyone to babysit. Why do I need a doctor's excuse?"

"That's just the way it works. We need a valid excuse, otherwise it won't be justifiable."

"Lieutenant, I'm not going to spend $20 on a visit to my doctor for a note. Even if it [b]is a co-pay, I'm not going to throw my money away like that."[/b]

"Then you can expect a diciplinary when you come back to work."

"For what reason?!?!?"

"For failure to prove justification of absence."

"I already told you!! I don't have a sitter!!"

"That's not my problem."

"Okay. Later."

So yesterday I went to my unit and turned in all of my uniforms and my state I.D. along with my letter of resignation. I have more than enough money in my bank account to sustain me until I find a new job, plus I'll get a compensatory check for all of my overtime, sick, and holiday hours. Now, about an hour ago, I got a call from my assistant warden. He says that he wants me to come in and sit down for a discussion about what happened so we can try to straighten this out. I'm thinking that this can be a good opportunity for me to ask for more. What say you guys? [/B]

only $20...whoa... I dont have co-pay... so I have to pay like $75 😖

anyways... thats so weird when your boss wants a note from the dr's office, because not all of can just waste money like that just for a dr's office...

there is really no reason to go to the dr's if you know how to cure your illness...

well good luck to ya clover

Ive worked in corrections for a long time. Three different systems. Some LT's can be dicks like that. One system I worked in(state) was like that. Fed's can be, just depends on your capt. I was getting burnt out on custody so I put in for a job in another department. The whole DCT,SORT thing got old and so did fighting all the time on seg. I got tired of hearing my wife complain when I came home smelling like shit water and piss frpm seg. Constant TB and blood tests ect. If you ever go back try a different dept.

I have my CDL w/airbrakes and if, but that's a big damn IF, I'll apply to Transportation and drive a bus shipping the inmates from unit to unit.

That wouldent be to bad. I dont blame you if you dont go back though. Id be pissed to. Just out of curiosity what state did you work for? If you dont want to answer that here its cool. I use to work for Ky state. Ive been off on medical leave for a while now.

😆 Oh, because no one would think that "I'm thinking that this can be a good opportunity for me to ask for more." could be referencing a pay raise. More respect? 😆 The very fact that you're crawling back asking for special privledges, but you turn in your uniform in a day? Usually, imo, people get rewarded for hard work, not for flakiness.

You are the one making crazy demands. You won't pay for a sitter or someone else for one day? You won't pay $20 to get a doctors note, yet you have so much money to live comfrotably? That seems like a lot of agressive personal demands for something totally out of your control. Your daughter getting sick is out of your control, but your treatment of the situation is entirely in your control. And imo you treated it very poorly.

If you don't like your job, fine, but don't blame it on your daughter getting sick. Maybe you should start acting like an adult, take responsibility for your actions, instead of shoveling the blame on someone else.

Who ever said that I was "crawling back"? Again, go back to school and learn to read. My warden personally called me and asked me to come in. Why? Probably because I'm a good officer, and I wrote him a 3 page letter of resignation that was both professional and elaborate. Turn in my uniforms for a day? No, I dont think so. I turned them in indefinitely. I have always been a hard worker and an example. I have never, ever said that I was "the best" or "#1", however I do pride my self on having impeccable work ethic.
