Don't take it personally. I'm speaking of DOC as a whole, not any one individual here. I know PO's who demand they be treated with deference and respect by their cases and then turn right around and treat those cases like a worthless mangy dog.
Respect is earned. Nobody has a 'right' to it, badge or no badge. DOC needs to regain its respect and it can start by showing a little of its own. For the inmates, the probationers and the staff.
And, just for the record - don't expect that to happen.
The attitude started with "zero tolerance", so that throws your how you treat your cases out the door, unless you say the dept. having us violate cases for things we had discretion in the past. makes us stress and not like our co-workers as much. The real reason is post zero tolerance with all the extra time consuming requirements, you simply cant do your job by the book in 40 hours and are constantly threatened in so many words by your supervisors, because it is rolled down to them. The only way to really meet all requirements for an office nowadays would be if there was no turnover and every position was filled by certified staff, which is a pipe dream to 95% of the offices, so nothing will change in the near future unless the top people do it and I doubt they will.

Please, don't listen to mystikwarrior. He/she is just a self righteous fool that loves taking up space here with their rhetoric.

Thjis agency has been like this for the last 20 years that I've been associated with it. Once in a while there is a supervisor who tries to be human, but usually he/she gets the raw end of the stick as we usually do, and the attempt is made to bring him/her back in line. A strategic move can always be forced on him/her. Management by intimidation is the norm. Most of us have that lousy habit of eating and paying bills, so we have to do whatever it takes to survive. Isolationism works pretty well.

I have worked for this agency for 20 years and the Bush adm. has been, bar none, the worst. Yes, we have gotten some raises, yes we have gotten them big gold badges. We got Mike Moore and "let me pontificate", Mike Wolf. Then, Dome and Dommer! Now, the Col. and Laura B./LIL' KIM (I mean lil' tina) I'll take the Harry K. PIDS process any day! I have never seen such an unstable, unorganized, corrupt organization in my life. My guess is w/ Laura B.'s "survey" CO found out what they new already knew, we're all f-up. JEEEEEB probably said get that Beatch otta here. This is my career and I care about all that work here. Don't like the dark side much though! Tends to be unproductive!

Do you call your cases a 'piece of dog$%(#' while at the same time demanding they call you 'Sir' or 'Mister'? Do you knock on their door when you do a field visit? Or do you beat on it like you want to break it down, all the while screaming 'DOC, OPEN THE FRIGGING DOOR NOW"?
That's what I thought.If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.

Well, mystikwarrior, if you would get off the internet and answer the door, then your PO wouldn't have to knock so hard. Who the f--- do you think you are to go around making general statements about how badly all PO's treat their cases. You don't know me, and probably personnaly know less than 5% of the entire roster of officers across the state. There are some that go towards both extremes, and probably some that hang out around the middle of the road. Then there are pathetic self-righteous pissants like you. Why don't you pull your head out of John Kerry's a** and formulate an origianl thought of your own? 8)

Maybe if you got off the Internet you could do your job and not need people like me to convince the Legislature that you need to be paid more money.
