Then, some kid born with a silver spoon in his mouth, who has accomplished nothing in real life, runs unopposed....

These words are absolutely true. I have known many, including myself, who have fled because of a manager's malaise and apathy towards his/her subordinates.

The problem is, with this job market and economy, more and more people are willing to tolerate subpar management rather than move on. Where are they going to go? Especially in small hamlets like Salisbury, too many people are scurrying for employment and not enough quality positions available.

Employers know this - hence, why many resumes get sent off into a black hole; never to hear from the supposed job poster again.

Welcome to the World a la Liberalism. It has been an unmitigated disaster yet still some stick their heads in the sand.

Amen to this post,

Amen to 1:07,

Amen to 1:12.

Then there are the voters who chose that kid over a seasoned two-term councilwoman with national housing expertise and extensive financial knowledge and those who chose a guy from the most isolated, protected neighborhood in the city over a decorated Iraqi war veteran who worked his butt off for the endangered populations of the city...

Anyone wonder why Salisbury is a mess?

Former All Shifts Officer said...

this perfectly describes the county jail. a little appreciation goes a long way. what does it hurt to give a little recognition from time to time? I don't just mean for the day shift either. it doesn't sound right, but while it is true that the day shift is the busiest, the swing shift does most of the work. Yet, the midnight shift has it the hardest of all shifts by having to fight their own body's natural instinct to sleep during the lull of the night. Special recognition and appreciation should be given to each person that is drafted. Something as simple as a letter in their mailbox from one of the director's would go a long way with the officer's family being able to see it in writing how much they are appreciated when they don't get to go home. Sixteen hours shifts are brutal as it is, but when you draft a midnighter to work a really busy day shift, that messes up their sleep schedule and is torturous having to get home-eat-shower-sleep and head back in for another shift within the 8 hour window that they have off before their next shift begins. That's even if they don't have any other responsibilities. Lots of them have family depending on them to pick them up and/or make dinner and/or take them to school and/or attend after school sports, etc. The bad management practices at the jail should be replaced with empathy and understanding by putting themselves in their officer's shoes. I know it's been a long time since the command staff has run a block or pitched in as a movement officer.The point here is that it truly is amazing how much morale can be increased by just a few signed letters.

1:28 Amen--In fact, the Wicomico County Public Schools should adopt this as their mission statement. Food service for one! Other departments too.

What? How can this be? Don't you have a union, the MSEA and WCEA, to correct this and make sure this doesn't happen?
