Sheriff Seeks Correctional Officers — 12 Comments

  1. I guess that let’s you out, eh CP?

    There may be a janitorial position open that you could apply for.

    I heard that they print the instructions for emptying the mop bucket on the bottom of the bucket so you should have no problem doing the work once somebody shows you where to find those instructions.

  2. These comments on occupations are fascinating.

    One big difference between being a janitor and a correctional officer is that janitor job postings usually require relevant work experience.

  3. A lot of These guys are pulling in near, and over 6 figures with OT.

    lots of OT with the immigration hold over there.

    The rest in there are of the usual 3 “D’s”; Drunken Driving, Drugs, Domestic Violence,and the Freunds.

    I dont think MCC is quite like watching a 60 Days In episode, but the job can be mind numbing, and imagine going to a job where all the people dislike you and even may want to harm you.

    They earn the pay—and the pensions are good and they get to save their sick time, which for some old timers runs 6 figures.

    Makes for some nice pay and bennies, but they earn it, probably hard to settle down quickly after a days work over there.

    God Bless Em.

  4. Bob Wire, nice points.

    But these people will blow your head off if ordered by a Franks placed Sheriff.

    Why does Prim have lunch with Franks?

  5. Public safety employees can’t strike, but they are entitled to binding arbitration.

    The arbitration laws are skewed heavily in favor of the employees.

    That’s the main reason the salaries for COs and cops have risen out of sight.

    The Republicans have tried several times to change the arbitration laws, but have had no luck getting the Dems to go along.

  6. If I’m a transgendered alcoholic w/ AIDS and hepatitis, part Eskimo and 355 lbs w/ a dishonorable discharge and a police record in Brazil for some carnival excesses, and a high recommendation from Pat Kenneally, do I get way extra points?

  7. That’s a whole lot of money to pay someone with a GED and no work experience.

    The government shouldn’t be in the habit of paying its employees more than similarly qualified people earn in the private sector.
