ORIGINAL: soul2share Well, I did what I had to do......the job front in AZ sucked, and the job I did have is slowly being given away......the Chief decided to slowly give up our pay ad benefits, while not shouldering any pay cuts himself....AND he got a raise two years ago when no others did. It's very hard to respect someone who spouts "I'm doing everything I can for you all", only to find out that he isn't....all he did was take money away from us to save his girlfriends job...she was actually hired under a freeze, so she's the first one to be let go. When the state first started talking about budget cuts and lay-offs, I told the folks I worked with that I wasn't afraid of losing my job, rather that the department would be disbanded....everyone said "no, that can't happen, it would take a legislative act".....well apparently, the Chief has to prepare a report justifying the existence of the department......and I'm afraid it will show that the department is a drain on the budget that can be cut, will save a huge amount of money, and the state will probably offer Phoenix PD a contract to respond to the stupidity that goes on with state employees. And PPD will take it, they need the money just like everyone else. It's not the first time I've moved around for a job.....that's usually been the reason. Although, I was really hoping that AZ would be the last. You're still my HERO!
