Haters

This Dept. needs to learn a thing or too about Haters, and should learn to work as a TEAM! Maybe then it will change for the better.

B.J. :devil:

Sure Einstein, but in case you've forgotten, there is no "I" in TEAM. Unfortunately, folks here only care about one thing "Themselves". Folks are either too busy doing absolutely nothing, while others spend all day backstabbing each other to "Super Size" their Egos. Let the sharks feeding frenzy begin. :evil: :evil: :evil:

[Publius101]

Publius findings about this subject matter is not very encouraging at all. Sadly, there is a great substantial amount of true in both preceding statements.

Now, to work in a Team environment, some degree of "Maturity" is needed. Maturity to understand that no all officers do "police work" in the same exact way; and that as long as the "police work" is being done in a lawfully and ethically manner, there should be no problem.

Now, allow me please, to bring a word of caution in here: To promote and nurture a “Team Work” Environment, does not mean to get rid of “Criticism”.

Genuine and Legitimate Criticism is precisely as part of a “Team Work” Enviroment as Maturity is. In fact, one should not exist without the other. Neither should we strive for “Team Work” environment at the expense of Criticism.

The problem is that sometimes “Criticism” is done by individuals that suffer from a “Vulture” type of personality. These individuals dont care about "Team Work". They do behave like "haters". They dont "Critic" their fellow officers performance, they rather distroy their fellow officers reputation!

Now, Publius have dedicated some time to getting to know the Vultures.

These are some of Publius' observation about vultures:

1-) A Vulture is an scavenger, they feed from carcasses.

2-) They rarely attack healthy animals. Instead they chose the sick or the wooded to finish them off.

3-) Since they lack the strength or the initiative to dismember a carcasses by themselves, they rather let others to rip open their portion so they can get in and have their feast. This will make them a second hand type of scavengers.

4-) Vultures have an exceptional stomach. Their stomach acid can easily tolerate even bacteria that would kill others type of scavengers.

5-) When their stomach is satisfied, Vultures fall into a heavy dose of slumber. They go to sleep in order to digest their putrid stomach.

6-) When attacked Vultures tend to defend themselves by throwing their vomit to their attackers. Like a deadly appetizer.

Now, Consider these correspondences :
1-) I have observed, that some individuals cant just be part of any “Team Work” because they act as human-vultures.

2-) They look for fellow officers that have make mistakes in their job, or whose performance is not as “healthy” as other more matured and experienced officers, to finish them off.

3-) They finish them off, probably not directly, but indirectly. They may incite other officers to jump into the feast while they behind sharpen their beak for their big moment of glory.

4-) These individuals have an exceptional conscience. They may go after fellow officers and maliciously and wantonly destroy an officer’s (or supervisor ?) reputation and ruin the officer’s career just to satisfy his dark side. Amazingly, these individuals accomplish all these without thinking if their endeavor was justified, necessary or even acceptable! They can observe a coworker getting into a mess, facing discredit, or even losing his or her job and with it, the provision for that officers family, and yet, the vulture’s conscience allow him to go to sleep very blissfully every night.

5-) These individuals, after doing their putrid work, seat back, and retreat to their dark shadows. Their very nature allows them to continue their miserable existence with no regret. In fact, they are so satisfied for what they did, that they go out and celebrate their “vultureness” !

6-) When questioned or challenged, their response is their typical display of vomit. Their very words demonstrates the substances of their entrails. They start flapping their wings, making a lots of noise, and exposes us all to the unpleasant smell of their guts.

Well… Publius believes that is hard to promote a “Team Work” environment when there are vultures around. Thankfully, in our department not only are vultures, there are also, very good individuals including very good supervisors too.

at the end of the day...who wants to work with a vulture!?!


For the rest, Peace.

Publius.
