The South will always have staffing problems until we start receiving competitive salaries. You can't compete with agencies starting people with experience at 60k-70k. Money will always be the number one factor behind working conditions why people leave.
Pay will always be an issue. There is no turnover in the north compared to the south and pay is the biggest reason. From the agency's viewpoint as long as the supply of new agents exceeds the number of openings there isn't a problem. Civilian oversight and being an insignificant cog in the DBPR wheel results in no incentive to change. When you add the numbers turnover here is average for state agencies. Pay compression is just as big of an issue as turnover but most don't stay long enough to experience that.
Third time fort myers extended their add. I find it hard to believe they can’t hire anyone for two years. Sounds like they need to merge the office with Tampa or get new leadership.
Agreed. Another big problem I see is that FM may be hiring the wrong person for the spot. I don't think it is their fault though. With vets points and other points you are sometimes forced to hire people that aren't necessarily the best fit. Ideally you would hire someone who is relatively young yet has some LE experience on patrol and some time working investigations. The journeymen who have 100 years in narcotics and vice crimes never work out because they can't handle the insanity of this place and won't be here long enough to figure out who we are, what we ACTUALLY do, and what our limitations are. It's not an exact science.
No need to panic. Help is on the way. ABC Agents from India will be given special visas to assist for a period of two years each. That is longer than most stay in Fort Myers anyway according to Kashadbadiddidda Jones, head of Crisis Recruiting for Florida.
ABT is an innovation powerhouse and the perfect first stop for people coming to the state. "It just seems like a good fit" said Jones.
Young people don’t last either. They realize they have many years til retirement and can make more money anywhere else. Everyone else has step plans and higher starting pay. We have hit the brick wall.
F2 and TB have an new spreadsheet to fix the retention problems. Micromanagement is the key to fixing the low morale
How you gonna fire the 75% who haven't already quit?
What the €#%[£¥| is wrong with you people??? You want to go back to being shills for the recording industry? Can't get enough of those felony investigations? You know the type. Standing in line at the stop and rob to buy a fake Rick Ross CD, then trying to keep a straight face while you beg the SAO to let you see a judge for a signature. Not deep u/c enough? How about feeding quarters into slots at the VFW while you share your "combat" experiences with real life American Heroes then come back with a search warrant and seize the income source for the very people the veterans were trying to help. You know, homeless, jobless families. Let's not forget fake Coach bags, Channel sunglasses and heaven help us, those fake FUBU shirts! Yep. Give the leadership a hard time because they are trying to keep us centered and off the legislative radar.
Enforcement of the beverage law is your only purpose. Don't screw it up. Here is a thought. Come in, do your job and shut the €_£\%}}% up.
Hey moron, that's the problem. These clowns don't want us doing beverage work or what we are statutorily mandated to do under. They are more concerned with our secondary responsibilities and micro-managing us to death. So maybe you are the one who needs to shut your pi$$ flap, open your f****** ears and take a look around.
Get rid of the major who complicates eve try thing. I’ve seen email chains where chief or program administrator simp lt says “go check out this place and make sure it’s complying.” By the time the major interprets that simple email your doing 101 things and writing a nice when no one cares, alls they wanted was someone to stop by and make sure the place wasn’t out of control
No one wants to work for that weirdo in Miami. All the agents in Margate are former Miami district so that should tell you all you need to know. The name says it all in Ft Misery and Margate, why in the helll would anyone want to work around the Major. She should have retired years ago when Major O smacked her ego.
Well she refuses to put anything in writing, refuses to write an email and refuses to answer any questions about the emergency order so I would imagine it would fall on deaf ears.
All this is way above her pay grade. She just following orders. People love to talk smack about her and write crap on this site, but when then see her and have the chance all they do is shut up and smile.
Here's an idea for all the keyboard warriors on here next time there is an opening for a supervisors position how about you put in for it and see what its like. Stop complaining and at least try to be a part of the change you talk so much about.
This is what happen when the administration only desires to cut the throats of the worker bees. There is no investment in employees here.
Just do as you’re told or we cut your throat. The toxicity start way north in Tallahassee with you.
Don’t like what you read here? Then stop sticking the knife in your peoples back every week.
Does anyone know what happen to RG from Orlando?
No longer employed here
[QUOTE=Unregistered;3190926]No longer employed here
It took abt long enough to figure out what what he was doing or did someone finally catch him?
Fort myers lost another agent today. They almost have one supervisor for every agent
Let’s do a roll call and see exactly how many sworn and non sworn are in each office. I bet it’s very scary.
Orlando 4.5 agents
2 LTs 1captain 10 inspectors
