Re: What's your thoughts? the Budget
I never thought St. Pete would get to that. No matter how much people complain about the department I wouldnt have expected it to come to this - cutting people who went thru months of paperwork. How depressing.

Re: What's your thoughts? the Budget
What about the ones that moved here from out of state? They moved with a promise of a job, leaving family and friends behind, only to get down here and end up with nothing. And now they have no guarantees of being rehired when the economy improves, Depressing!
The department has all this deadwood at the top of the food chain, yet they sacrifice the young guys so that the majors and asst chiefs can keep drawing their 6 figure salaries.
If the dept would offer a buyout like the county, then a lot of us senior guys would be happy to move on. One of our salaries would save two new guys. But that's common sense, which this department and city have shown they do not have.

Get out! Get out! While you can! Before the city comes up with some innovative way to reduce your retirement benefits.

Re: What's your thoughts? the Budget
Rumors Rumors Rumors...here we go and its all caused by our staff. The staff needs to come out and give some numbers and exactly how much needs to be cut then figure out what will do he trick. Telling the cadets the same day they are told the staff might have to take a 5% pay cut makes you wonder the real reson. I like the previous suggestions of cutting back some staff positions.

Did they really lay off cadets? I thought you were still hiring.

The only way Captain Kangaroo will have a new plan is if someone else tells him what to do.
