SOMETHING WORTH READING

WHILE IT’S SAD TO READ SOME OF THE POSTS HERE THAT CLEARLY HAVE MANY ABT AGENTS ANGRY, HERE IS MY ADVICE TO THEM AND TO OTHERS IN AGENCIES THAT THE COPS FEEL TICKED OFF ABOUT.

WHY LET THE STRESS TAKE US OUT OF THE JOB AND AWAY FROM OUR FAMILY SOONER THAN WE WANT. MY ADVICE TO BEAT THE STRESS AND NAGER AND POLITICS ETC IS THIS:

COME TO WORK, REMEMBERING THAT WE ALL COULD LOOK AND MOVE TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND THOUGH SOME HAVE IT BETTER THAN OTHERS, ALL HAVE SOMETHING THAT YOU WILL NOT LIKE. WE ALL KNOW OF THE GRASSHOPPERS WHO SEEM TO LAST A YEAR OR TWO AND THEN BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THEY'RE 35 WITH 5 AGENCIES AND A PENSION MAYBE BY THE TIME THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY KICKS IN....

COME TO WORK AND SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GOOD COPS TO WORK WITH. FIND AND HANG ON THE SUPERVISORS WHO APPRECIATE YOUR WORK AND SUPPORT YOU. AS LONG AS YOU'RE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU DO AT WORK AND YOUR BOSSES TAKE CARE OF YOU, BLOCK OUT THE POLITICS AND OTHER CRAP THAT POISONS THE FEELINGS AND MEMORIES OF WHY YOU PICKED THE PLACE YOU WORK AT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

WE ALL KNOW THAT IN EVERY AGENCY AT SOMETIME OR TIMES IN YOUR CAREER, YOU WILL NOT GET THAT PROMOTION OR SPECIAL ASSIGNMEMT. BUT IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD AND CERTAINLY DOES YOU NO GOOD TO CARRY THE GRUDGE TO THE POINT YOU GET SICK, PISSED OFF OR MORE IMPORTANTLY, DO SOMETHING THAT GETS YOU IN TROUBLE!!!!

HAVING WORKED WITH ABT FOR OVER 15 YEARS, MY MEMORIES ARE ALL GOOD. NOT EVEN THESE NEGATIVE POSTS WILL CHANGE THAT.

SO GO TO WORK, FIND FRIENDS, FUN AND SUPPORT AND DONT SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF. LIVE TO REACH AND ENJOY MANY YEARS OF THAT PENSION WHICH WE ALL WORKED HARD FOR. SOME MAY GO TO ANOTHER AGENCY FOR MORE MONEY ETC.
CAN IT BE BETTER..OF COURSE IT CAN, BUT NOTHING WILL CHANGE OVERNITE...... I COME TO WORK WITH A SMILE, LAUGH, JOKE, DO THE JOB WE KNOW HOW TO DO AND GO HOME.... YOU ALL SHOULD DO THE SAME.....

:D well said

Life is short......take SENIOR AGENT'S advice, it's a very good one

Agreed...

Great advise!!

Excellent statement

It appears that all the whiners don't want to address this post or comment on it.
Must be too postive and against their nature!!!

Actually, I consider myself a "semi-whiner". I love ABT, I love the job and on its own, we are fortunate to have take home cars.

I agree with SENIOR AGENT's suggestion 110%. I have tried it and some times it just doesn't work. Its not easy for all of us to just turn it on and off when we go home and come to work. We are all wired differently. Also, we forget some times that work is a huge part of our lives. It allows us to support our families, pay our bills, and send our kids to college. So when this huge part of our lives hits the skids at times, it can get tough. Its not that easy to ignore.

Also, coming to work, laughing, joking, etc. Its not that easy in some offices. I've worked in an office where there is phenomenal comraderie(SP?) and brotherhood, and one where it is down right depressing to walk through the front door.

I like what was said and I also consider myself a semi-whiner. This was good to see. I also love ABT, we serve a purpose and it has been good to me, so far. I don't want people to believe it was all bad, it was not. I look at what was going on as a bunch of bad bumps. Still things have to be let out or people will explode.

WOW, This thing died on the VINE!! Probably hit home for alot of these posters!!

I'm BACK!!!

This is what this forum was intended for. Thank you Senior Agent, and thanks to the rest of you who have kept it positive. Happiness comes from within, and that kind of peace can only be attained with that understanding.

Stay Safe :cop:

I only wish we had half the quality of staff you are speaking of her, it would be a much better agency. I know the agents I work with feel as though the agency is in debted to them and they forget they get paid to do a JOB.

ABT has real cops?????/ The ones who actually have experience or the ones they just put there.

Senior Agent said it well.
