My work week is Sunday , Monday Tuesday 6am to 6pm and Wednesday 6am to noon.
Most days we have no one to relieve for meal breaks, meaning we have to get deputies to cover. Okay that's great except..sometimes we have ONE , and they can't just be stuck inside the tower for an hour in case shit happens in house. I've had overtime cards denied for not being able to take breaks on those days, but keeping record of everything.
Sad part is my position has SO MANY places I can transfer to out of the jail , I've had multiple interviews but on paper my attendance is shit due to excused medical reasonsreasons, flu , bereavement, etc. But all they see is days missed, I get it but I work really hard too.
Like today walked in and the command staff apparently had "no idea" 10 people were training today..except they were all CC'D on the emails we got so..yeah.
And shit today was so bad I had to stop myself from telling my trainee " Are you SURE you want to work here..?" ,lol.
I've been tempted to take a demotion within the county to just leave the jail. Apparently some already have..transfer list and separation list was pretty long in a bad way.
