Resign vs termination

[Unregistered]

Seems the agency always lets its deputies resign “in leu” of dismissal. Why is that? From a citizen standpoint, its to look out for us. I don’t agree. From a deputy standpoint, there is something the agency benefits from by letting deputies resign instead of firing us.

Why not just let them take it all the way and fire us?

I know the pros of resigning over dismissal, but how about we discuss the pros of not letting them make us resign? The pros of getting fired.

I don’t know about you but I want my unemployment money! Especially while recovering from the years of being mentally drained to passed burnout.

Being that this agency, this county, this state, our citizens, and this current time has put a terrible taste in my mouth about this career, so I would NEVER return to a LEO career. getting fired from here would not matter.

Besides this work history is worthless. A new career in the private sector would mean a real fresh start. As if you had no work history. 15 years old all over again. See another scam with this career is that this skill set is WORTHLESS in the private sector. Unless you want to be a security guard. With all the stuff this agency makes us take on, you would think we would have a higher value out there. We don’t, so it’s a fresh new start. We literally need nothing from this agency to restart.

At many other agencies, patrol is just that…. Patrol. Patrolling, high visibility, crime prevention, crime deterrence, traffic, traffic stops, citations, parking, and quick investigations. That’s why private sector investigative careers involving bank fraud investigations, insurance fraud investigations require years of detective experience.
However, here at the clever HCSO, our patrol deputies are the solution to the mental health crisis, homeless crisis, and addiction crisis. Our deputies work fraud crimes, we interview sex crimes victims and abused children instead of trained detectives from specific units being called out. We write pages and pages and pages of investigative reports. Ever work a business burglary or robbery from start to finish while processing your own scene, pulling your own videos, and conducting all the interviews? Meanwhile there are agencies where detective units fully take over these cases and free patrol deputies. We handle so much that we can not master anything. Only to burn out, resign, and become worthless in the private sector because all we do is “drive around and pull people over”. That’s what they think.

I say, I’m worthless in the real world either way. Fired or resigned.


Besides, we have hit a point where people know how screwed up policing is and I’m willing to bet that they will believe us when we explain what BS this job is. Not like they would be too critical on us. We would be applying for a security guard job anyway.

I’ll do my job in a manner where I can sustain working here to full retirement. No more burnout. That means no asss kissing, doing things for the numbers, not doing things for show, only working at 100% instead of 300%, finishing my reports not in a hurry, Coming in on time and leaving on time. No earlier and no later, and so on. Until they fire me.

THEN, I can make up for all the BS calls, mental draining, danger, late calls, that all these non contributing worthless self helplessness people put me through by collecting my government cheese. Once I take off this uniform, NOTHING of its kind will ever go back on. These people can kill eachother for all I care.


This DOG FIGHT they put us in mixed in with victims and criminals, so our agency, government leaders, lawyers, judges, media, and social media scum can make big money off of us plus use us for entertainment can go fukkk itself!

It doesn't matter if you resign or allow them to fire you. When they send your paperwork to FDLE, after you resign, it will show that you resign during an investigation. Even though, by that time, a majority of deputies, have gotten their notice from IA, that their investigation is completed. So, your screwed either way.
