Morale survey.....What a joke!
Well it's time to discuss the elephant in the room folks. This will probably be a more honest survey than their "anonymous" survey through DMS.

It's official......the chief and his administration have completely lost the trust and respect from the great men and women of CPD. Not that he had or earned it anyways. The morale problem at CPD STARTS at the top and his mismanagement from the day he took over. Glad I no longer have to be be a part of or witness the internal destruction of what was once a great place to work.

The survey is a joke. One Division Commander holds everyone accountable; while the other makes up a new position, and the one guy (TD) who shouldn't even be eligible with a sustained IA in the past few months let alone the two years. But this Chief is doing what the past have; reward bad immoral behavior. There are very few leaders at this department. 2017 will be just more of the same.

Just when you thought it could not get much worse.......This guy has no idea how to build morale let alone an efficiently run agency.

Ship has sunk
Between the robbery cpl selection and now this. Slap on face to ones that deserve the position. Way to soon on this selection. No moral survey needed. You have officially sunk the ship.

Clearly these picks were diversity and check the box picks. Not who we know should have received the spot. I'm sure MH lawsuit plays a hand in this also. Remember you may be given the stripes but respect is earned not given.

How many more?
The smart ones are jumping ship, if they can. Sad for us that its our seasoned, senior staff and officers that we so desperately need.
RIP

Walls have ears
Loved the promotional speeches. Large turn out of support of these picks.Typical office staff looking to avoid work and no troops. Loved the parts about Leaders, calm and cool, and work ethic. It was Moving and motivational. Let's be real. Skip the bs and just say diversity picks and you needed to fill a slot. We know staff doesn't care. Cry this week and they will cry next week. The walls have ears.

Carry On
Five things that all successful people do after facing rejection.
1. They Recognize Their Role
Rejection can be brutal, and it's often enough to inspire us to begin playing the blame game. It's their fault that they didn't see the value we were offering or that they decided to go another direction.
When we're hurt, it's pretty much human nature to make ourselves the victims of the situation. However, successful people understand the importance of recognizing the role they played in their own rejection.
Were they as prepared as they should have been? Did they settle for mediocre when they should have put their all in? You need to accept responsibility for anything you did that might have contributed to your being passed over, or you simply won't learn as much from the situation.
2. They Reflect
Similarly to the point above, successful people don't immediately jump into action after being rejected. Instead, they press pause and take a little bit of time to look back on the experience.
Are they blindsided by this rejection, or did they not feel great about their chances to begin with? If they could rewind time, what key things would they do differently?
Before you can use rejection to help you improve, you first need to pinpoint exactly where you could make some changes.
3. They Ask Questions
When you're turned down for something, your first inclination might be to bury your head in the sand and get as far away from that humiliating situation as possible.
However, successful people resist the temptation to run and hide. They know that it's better to use this as an opportunity to gather more information that will help them to become better in the future.
Swallow your pride and directly ask what you did well and what you could do better next time. That's all valuable information -- directly from a reputable source -- that you can use to improve moving forward.
4. They Improve
Far too many of us fall into the trap of collecting feedback, but then never actually doing anything with it. But, not successful people. They go the extra mile to actually implement the suggestions they receive.
You know you can't continue to do the same things and make the same mistakes while expecting different results. So, remember to detail an action plan you can use to put those tips for improvement to use. You'll be better off for it.
5. They Move On
Rejection can bruise even the healthiest of egos. But, it won't do you any good to obsess over it -- which is why successful people know it's better to take a deep breath, let it go, and move on.
Yes, you'll need to take a little bit of time to reflect on the experience and pull out the necessary lessons and value. However, once you've done that, don't continue to dwell or hold a grudge. Ultimately, that will only hold you back.
There's no denying that rejection can be a painful experience, but it can also be extremely educational -- as long as you're willing to make the most of it. Take these five strategies, and you're sure to use rejection to your advantage.
