Walked off my steady job today

[Reefer Rae]

Ok, got ya. I install stuff on my local city's fleet and I'm not very fond of Whelen light bars at all, I was gonna complain a bit.

How long have you been with your city and are you happy with it ? I took a pay cut but my time away from the house is cut in half.

About 7 years now. I like the steady check and all the days off our retirement is fairly decent insurance is ok at best but still better than nothing.

I primarily work on police vehicles (besides motorcycles) and electrical work which I enjoy. Police cars can be a pain as can their operators but it has perks by knowing most of the higher ups.

Agreed. I enjoy knowing all the local pd guys.. All good people, and I ain't too proud to namedrop my way out of a ticket

No I work for a company that produces public safety radios & equipment, but i often find myself doing QA on police and DOT fleet vehicle installs. my last job was as an installer and with that comes a ton of troubleshooting and fixing fleet's fuckups. im certainly no expert but i know my way around the bottom side of cruiser console better than most.

You do the TXDOT yard off 20/ MC Cart?

Well I get paid for....wait...I don't even know how much I get paid. Hell, with direct deposit, I don't even know how much I'm bringing home or how much I pay for benefits. I might have to take a look at it since they forgot to add the last two raises I got two years ago.....

Lol yup same here. Paperless everything

Congrats - to You .... BUT ..

Got a job with a city close to home , doing fleet repair . Cop cars mostly . It's salary, 11 paid holidays , 180 hrs of sick time , 2 weeks vacation , retirement, and paid health vision dental. I really won't know what to do with myself . This is gonna feel like a part time job.

You're first year on the job and between sick days and vacation - You get 6.5 WEEKS OFF ..... plus 11 Holidays, or another 2 weeks of workdays off ..... Plus a RETIREMENT PROGRAM & HEALTH BENEFITS ....

All paid for from tax payers revenue to the city ......

Gotta love our Government

Again - Congrats to you - Hope the City budget lasts long enough to pay you that retirement ......

This benefit was not on the website but I'm sure will be handy.

burning a bridge sucks, but if a man could bottle that feeling of satisfaction, he'd be a wealthy man!

I didn't burn the bridge with the owner but all the shit about the manager I laid on him ,,,,,, I'll probably have a hit out on me in a week !
Coke head
Cheats on his wife
Steals from the company
Steals from customers
Lies to customers
Lies to techs
Lies to the owner
And his name is Tomas paver III
He is with out a doubt the worst service writer / manager I have ever crossed paths with . The down side is the owner buys the shit he says after he googles " top ten bible and religion questions " !!!!! He tells the owner " please mentor me so I can be more responsible like you " and the thing that kills me is the owner eats it up and tells us he is saving him !!!!! Fuck that!!! I'm loading my box at 9 am and never looking back . I would recommend Christian brothers as a employer as a whole based on values and mind set but pick the owner / franchise carefully .

180 hours of sick time?!?!? WTF?

[Reefer Rae]

I know I haven't missed but 3 days in 3 years !

[G..]

Suck it up and adjust to the pay and you'll be happier than ever. The benefits are worth the loss in pay and the extra time off gives you time to make more money and have more you time.
