Working for Free
That "anti-violence initiative" working your off days? Thanks for nothing:
- Anti-Violence Payroll Issues
July 20, 2012
Members who volunteered to work the Anti-Violence Overtime Initiative in June have not received their scheduled payment as of 4:45 pm today and the Department has not made any attempt to tell them why. Several members took it upon themselves to contact the Chicago Police Department Finance Division to inquire as to why they did not receive their pay. The Finance Division advised these members to contact the Lodge rather than offer an explanation.
After several inquiries to the Finance Division, the Lodge was advised that although today was the target date for payment, a problem with a payroll program resulted in the non-payment. The next payment target date is August 1, 2012.
While the Lodge and most of the affected members understand that computer problems can and do occur, we believe that our members deserve at the very least the common courtesy of an explanation by the Department that they serve. The Finance Division had to be aware of this problem early in the day, yet there was not any action taken to explain the situation to any of the hundreds of Officers who protected the citizens of the City of Chicago during what would have been their normal days off. Another thanks for a job well done!
"payment target date." That sounds so reassuring.
And why is an anti-violence initiative that is supposed to target weekend mayhem suddenly open seven days a week? We must be shorter than Rahm is letting on.

check out the animals in Florida. I love how the media always fails to mention the race. Flash mob of 300. You decide.
That's because the City is more worried and paid our money to those supposed turned around criminals at "Ceasefire"!
Well why don't "Ceasefire" go save the city then?
This City is run by incompetent chumps!
Da Pelon
Why doesn't someone go down and arrest Rahm for not paying the police. An enlightened state like Illinois must have pretty strict rules on paying employees on time.
Thanks for the free days. What no interest on our late Payment? Anyone that works this detail does it ont their own. God only knows when you will be paid. But please keep signing up. You have nothing else to do with your days off. Do You?
I never have any problem because I refuse to do anything!
Stop working this initiative until you get paid. Very simple !
STOP working your day off. Spend that time with the kids and or family. I'm a detective and I can assure you I worked more hours than most throughout my career. The kids are grown and I missed a lot. If I could do it over I sure would reconsider a lot of that blood money and gladly trade it back for the time I missed with the kids. Fuck the bills, you only have a few days, especially during the summer to enjoy.
What a coincidence....pay us our money off schedule, on our payday just like the nato money so we can enjoy less of our hard earned money and pay more in fucking taxes....I see a trend here. Do you
Police officers work 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. It's the nature of the beast and we knew that coming in. We knew we would miss children's birthdays, anniversaries and all sorts of milestones in our family history.
Compensatory time is meant to soften that blow. We have traditionally been allowed to use it to make some of those important family moments. It is a very important part of this job for us.
The City has allowed manpower to fall to a dangerously low level. People are being murdered and now the Mayor is feeling the heat so we are unable to take time off. NOW we are being pressured to work our days off. It would be nice if they paid us at least.
What, you thought I was joking about working all your days off for free so you die earlier? If I have to pay you, I'll make it so aggravating that your health will be affected. Now get back to work protecting my voting block, suckers.
Rahm
The city was probably a little low on cash after giving out that million bucks to the ceasefire gangbangers.
Maybe I can get my money from cease fire.....
Listen up hypses. Stop Jonsing.
It's a small mistake. We're upset at about a thousand other things, but this one is petty.
.and why would Finance tell PO's to call the FOP over a paycheck issue??
Because the union is the mechanism to resolve disputes between employer and employee.
Are you due interest on your money? were these monies subject to overtime payment rules established by the Illinois Dept of Labor's Wage Division? If so there are major penalties for not receiving your pay on time. 1-2% interest per month -- that is 12-24% per year, does the credit union offer a rate like that?
You can file you own claim http://www.state.il.us/agency/idol/faq/qawage.htm
but the FOP should have helped you.
Very busy down there at the union hall. Suing Bella, defending Geiger, having special board meetings, picnics and golf outings. Who has time for members!
Pesky members get flippant comments: Another thanks for a job well done! or, thank you very little, FOP uses that a lot too!
Once again, anyone working this detail on their days off to help Rahm not hire more police is part of the problem. I know some may need the money, but this is a shortsighted way of getting it.
And now your reward is to not get paid on time. You should have expected this from Rahm.
Of course they don't have the money, it all went to Ceasefire. AKA The support your local felon fund
When did it become 7 days a week?
The city is completely broke.
There is no computer problem. The problem is there is no money.
I heard from a friend at the Finance Division that the city will not make it's entire payroll obligations for 2012. Next month's OT check has already been moved to September, so the city can use the sticker license fees to cover its bills.
If you are working OT, it may take 2-5months to get paid.
There was an admInstratve message indicating CHIPS was down, now I understand what that mess was about. It's just another way to keep that money in the bank to receive interest for the department. PO's be aware if that check is combined you will have paid more then half of it to taxes on the first of August.
Seems the major issue is the City thinks, "Well they can't strike so fxxk em!" This nonsense of not paying employees for hours worked needs to stop. Seems that the FOP has no power against this bullshit. Fuck the grievance procedures how about start filing federal lawsuits. This is why I refuse to generate any revenue for the city.
This is what YOU get. You're fucking yourself in the ass by doing this shit anyway. Not hiring means NO ONE adding to the pension. I hope you never see the $$$$. Wake the fuck up. People piss and moan about the union and every other thing under the sun when it comes to this job and what we have to look forward to, but in reality YOU are ALL scabs!!! Way to help out your OWN pension mess. UNFUCKING REAL.
Maybe the reson of withholding the payment is, to lump our regular scheduled pay with the overtime. That way they could withhold more in taxes.
OT+++ Check out the unfortunate youth in Florida. They have it so bad they figured it must be ok to go rob a Walmart.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X7CRLqO-Jo
Don't sign up idiots. Simple s that.
I know some people need the money etc. Well why not go to court instead or make a late pinch during your tour. Don't give rahm and garry the satisfaction.
mysterious donors remeber?
that $went to ceasefire and dope deals
now he trying to collect on bad deals to get that$ for them
now they are getting pissed
all that $ and no results for them
(as far WE know)
"favors" will be collected rahm
blowing $on gun suits
teacher suits
doesnt do well for the public record
And the penalty the city will assess on themselves for violating the payroll policy will be???? (Choose one)
a) a week off w/o pay for the director of finance.
b) a written apology in the form of a 'pax 501' directly from the responsible party.
c) an extra $10 in each check for our inconvenience.
d) fire the programmer.
e) 14 extra days for US to buy our city stickers without penalty.
f) 14 extra days for US to pay our water bills without penalty
g) Shut up y'all and just be happy you have a job!
(OT) Hey 008 district days LT. Richie Scott, you have apparently knocked off workers on 2nd watch cars, now maybe you could put some cars on the west end 811,s beat to stop the PARADE of junk collectors,I was just outside for 1 hour counted 7 trucks going through the alley! Maybe could be looking to do burglaries later? gypsy scams? "Where oh where could 811 be, oh where oh where could it be?"
Word from Violence Reduction OT: Starting in August POs will be dropped off at hotspots with a partner. No cars! Teams eat together the beginning of the tour and then everyone gets dropped off at their locations. Officers will have a roving sgt to make sure they are ok. POs will be picked up at the end of the tour for check off. Stay safe guys.
I'm really pissed! I've worked several of my days off expecting to receive the promised compensation on a specified date. As a gentleman I held up my end of the this bargain by complying with all of the prerequisites put into place. I showed up on time an even produced some activity. I even prevented several shooting and agg battery's , several robberies, and even managed to deter several csa's with my mere presence. I held up my end of the deal, but the city holds your pay for over a month then fails to pay you on the specified date without explanation. Now I'm being told that the city will try to pay me in August for
work performed in June. This is bullshit!
The dept making dat money on interest
you think the media will report about police working and not being paid or is it just about some not working and getting paid
"Shorter than Rahm"....funny...I get it!
In the private sector, when you miss payroll, there's a word for that...
Bankruptcy.
FOP needs to be in the media about this. Two months without pay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Help lower the crime rate and they will TRY to pay you in two month's!
Probably the CPD overtime money is going into a fund so that the teachers can get a fat raise in the Fall.
Sorry boys we're a little short this week due to that $1 mil. dollar Cease Fire contract. You understand right? Our Priorities.
Yeah problem with a payroll program
-- ha what is this 1984?
Maybe the problem is that the payroll program doesn't print checks or transfer money when the CPD payroll account has a negative balance in it eh?
Hey mayor, time to make that THIRD request for our NATO reimbursement money that is going to come from Federal Funds that the taxpayers don't have to pay for.
Also can you please explain to the class where this new source of funds that the Fed has that doesn't come from collecting taxes?
I suspect that there is more to it than the ol' computer did it.
When you get that check. RUN don't walk to the bank and get it cashed. You never know when they will start bouncing checks.
How does Rahm say, "FUC# YOU!"?
He says, "Trust me."
What we really need is an Overtime Initiative in each and every district.
Until we can hire a few thousand more cops and put them in place.
That's where we are short, no Time Due granted. That a shows how critically short we are and how mismanaged from city hall down.
We are so short manpower we can't protect out own stations. We are so short we can't protect the offices of the Aldermen.(Yeah right.)
But, we do have plenty of iron fences and Maggie's Flowers to go around.
...But Ceasefire was paid on time.
My time with my family is more impportant than the money they don't want to pay us,enjoy your families until this mess is resolved,the city will soon figure out to hire more,but will use you and keep you away from your family until then! I'm about to retire you young guys enjoy the O.T.
Who cares, Just keep working! Make the bosses look good
Good luck gettin paid. Easy money. I'm sure you'll get paid eventually.
And the next target date will by August 16th and the next September 1 and the next September 16 and so on. Doesn't the Fair Labor Standards Act require payment be made the pay period after the service is performed?
They supposedly canceled Tuesdays and Wednesdays recently. I was Approved for this past Tuesday and they never assigned anyone.
The target date is now Aug 1st. Aug 1st is regular pay day, uniform allowance, and now the overtime initiative check. They are going to tax the living crap out of you on that money.
Rahm's waiting for the money from NATO. Rob Peter to pay Paul
Off topic...maybe the city should be knocking on Chief Oates door for the position here once McCarty is shown the door.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/aurora-police-chief-daniel-oates-began-crime-fighting-career-nypd-article-1.1118947
I worked my RDO on Father's Day at the Obama detail and I didn't get paid either!!! When will I get my money?
The Obama White House will hold up the money until after the election, them blame the late payment on the Republicans if Obama loses.
If the money ever arrives, it will be next summer 2013?
What about interest on the money we didn't receive. At least in my bank I earn a meger 1% interest. On the City's millions they continue to earn at least 5% on my money. Will they include my interest owed? Thives! Every day they keep it, they short me and line their pockets.
Whenever I'm late paying I'm charged a late fee. Shouldn't city compensate us for delayed payment?
This is directed towards Bill Evans... Will you please set up a fund raiser or meet and greet up North. There's a lot of us that would like to meet you and ask some serious question concerning the up coming Sheriff's election. I know for a fact you could do it at the White eagle on Milwaukee avenue, 2 minutes outside Chicago. Right across the street from the cemetery in Niles. Most of us have no urge to drive to the South side.
Hope to hear of an upcoming event on the North side
Can you say SUCKER
if Rahm Emmanuel cares this little about our police, he cares this little about citizens of Chicago
The City is hoping to make a little more interest on the monies owed.. it's elementary my dear Watson!
Police officers who are exposed to such everyday violence and the consequences of such aggressive conduct are “damaged”. There is not and expert in the world who could honestly testify otherwise. No one wants to tell you confirm that because of that it would/should entitle you to damages/compensation. The powers that be want you to believe that your increased divorce, suicide, and alcoholism rates are attributable to other factors. That is complete bullshit. Being a cop comes at a price. And, in this era of “I am a victim” they are the only ones not getting compensated. I say if a cop suffers from PTSD or depression or many other conditions associated with that job he should be compensated.
There are only TWO reasons u wouldn't work this. 1) you're scared of working the ghetto or 2) u just don't need the money. Those of you that claim you aren't doing it so as to force rahm to hire are just full of shit or really fucking dumb. If you believe for a second that rahm gives a fuck whether or not u work this you're just a naive moron that probably grew up in the burbs. I was born and raised here and I'm well aware Chicago democrats hate the police and don't give a shit about us. They aren't hiring whether we work it or we don't do I'm taking that easy 300 bucks a day. Meanwhile u keep believing u can change Rahm or go back to your computer in the corner of your basement in your tighty whiteys and keep telling everyone that you really aren't afraid of the ghetto
You guys berating our cash-strapped brothers are the worst. Someone else's financial affairs are none of our business. Yes, some people worked that detail because they're greedy. However, a lot of people I know are struggling for money, or smart enough to make it while it's available for us. Honestly, our own worst enemy.
Imagine going out and working on your day off because you have to, because it's easier than piecemealing together 3 court dates, only to have the city say, 'nah, we're not gonna pay you.'
Instead you who are being critical instead of proactive regarding your own personal affairs are just sittin around doing nothing hoping that somehow we will arbitrarily get a raise just because we're wonderful.
Wake up, folks. Although I initially thought this was scab work, the hours have been worked. Now it's time to pay these guys who you are so critical of.
Dumb asses! Keep working for fucking Mc Carthy. You get no sympathy.
If you simpletons had ANY sense at all, you would stage an immediate work slowdown, until those checks you are owed are in your hands.
GOD BLESS the CPD..
The money owed CPD Officers was probably sent to the obama re-Election Campaign. Welcome to Communist Chicago, Comrades!
YOU Voted for it.
Listen up hypses. Stop Jonsing.
It's a small mistake. We're upset at about a thousand other things, but this one is petty.
7/21/2012 09:20:00 AM
fuck you, pay me.
Times are tough but enjoy your days off with the family the summer months are short and you will never get the time back with the wife kids etc.Don't look back on your life when you get old and remember only working all the time.
Yeah,we only have 7,300-7,500 Sworn Police Officers.That is the total.Of course,there will be the vehement reaction from the Brown-Nosing Fellatio Performance Artists that we have a overabundant supply of in the CPD.In advance,GFYS.
Can someone please tell me why the hell we even do lost property reports? What a waste of time.
OT
The deferred comp offered through Nationwide has just dropped it's only Bond Fund (Dodge and Cox Income Fund).
This is a big problem.
If you properly invest your deferred comp then you have at least 10-30% in some bond fund. Dodge and Cox has a relatively expensive bond fund (.52 expense ratio), but it is a very well respected 5 star bond fund, so even though it was the ONLY bond fund offered by the city, it was not a bad choice. A better choice would have been a very cheap Bond Index fund, but Nationwide never offered one. I always thought this was suspicious. Now that the only bond fund was removed with no replacement, I am really suspicious. NO respectable 401k would leave out a bond fund.
With no bond fund, you have a major problem. Bonds protect your investment when stocks tank because when big money investors see stocks going down they transfer their money to bonds, forcing the bond prices higher. On average, Bonds pay about 2% higher than the Chicago Blended Fixed Option.
I suspect that Nationwide is about to rip you off. Having no bond fund will force you into one of the "Target Date" funds, which are a huge rip off (1.0-1.5 expense ratio) OR will force you into the Chicago Blended Option which is also a rip off because you could just as safely put your money into a better paying Bond Fund.
I suggest people start calling Nationwide and start demanding a low cost Bond Fund.
This could cost you tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of your deferred comp.
03:01 they are going to tax you the same no matter what day you get paid or what day you get the money
im not a po but to me, rahm isnt treating cpd with respect. also what they did to off cozzi is a disgrace. hes telling you you have no power. the only thing rahm respects is at the ballot box. ask yourself if the cpd is united to protect your own. stand for something or go down for everything.
hmmmm, august 1st. you know what that means right??? It means that your money will now be lumped in with your regular paycheck on the first, your uniform check we are getting on the first and now your overtime... which means what???? Its gonna get the shit taxed out of it!!! Yes, the city is paying out all this money for overtime but believe me, they will get some of it back.. they always do. august first the tax man cometh.

Maybe could be looking to do burglaries later? gypsy scams? "Where oh where could 811 be, oh where oh where could it be?"
Actually, the PO working 811 on days this year has been all over these junk collectors' asses. Several of them actually got so tired of getting fucked with, they went and actually got junking PERMITS. Not sure if you are upset with Lt Scott or Bt 811, or where you were going with your complaint, but these jagoff Junkers have been confronted and dealt with more this year than ever before. Living on 811's beat, I'm glad to see it. Thanks!
OT. 005th district going wild this weekend...can we get money back from ceasefire? What about an incentive contract? So full of sh*t.
Rahm's waiting for the money from NATO. Rob Peter to pay Paul
7/21/2012 03:31:00 PM
bullshit. that's just what he'd like constituents to believe. then, poof, he gives a couple mil here, a couple mil there to voting blocks he thinks will help him in next election. you sound more like a troll mayoral staffer attempting to make excuses for excuse-meister and his now nationally notorious lack of leadership. trying to save your job, by any chance? if so, pretty transparent-this is hardly a devil's advocate blog for a cop-hater's cause. so you kind of stick out like a sore thumb. keep trying though. just know, you stink.

Ain't got nothin' but crime babe,
Eight days a week.
In any other workplace, if you had to wait this long for your pay, you would file a lawsuit. My God, you are putting your life on the line every day and they can't pay you? But God forbid, Lamara and Odette don't get their checks!
OT- Thank baby Jesus, the play rev. Jackson has come out of the wood work asking for a day of prayer and operation shove will be holding prayer vigils at theaters around the country.

7/21/2012 08:52:00 AM
Uh Pressure? Last I checked it was voluntary, nobody is making you work your days off. Don't bitch because you were stupid to fall for the cities bullshit.
I need my money!!!!! JR wants to play badminton!!!
Hey LT can I have time due tomorrow?
"NO"
Well can you at least ok my Over time initiative days so I can complain about not being able to have a day off..
Rahm loves you Ass Hats
You Mad Bro?
DON'T WORK YOUR DAYS OFF!
you're only screwing yourselves. Make the little bastard hire more police.
Besides the city needed the money to give it to Seize Fire for their payroll!
"But please keep signing up. You have nothing else to do with your days off. Do You?"
I will bet my next months paycheck that if the city went bankrupt, 5,000 Officers would show up for work the very next day. Hell they'd arrive 2 hours early, because this job defines their very existence.

Easy tough guy, I grew up here my entire life also. Worked the ghetto and even grew up in the Ghetto but do not think I am as tough as you think you are. If no one worked this detail the city would be forced to hire. They would have no alternative. You are correct that the city does not care about us, but your comment on being afraid to work the ghetto makes all of look like clowns. Your not as tough as you tihink you are Mr. Bad Ass Ghetto cop. If we stopped giving in to the city every time they wave a few dollars at us they would be forced to hire more police. Police that think like you are the reason why your average citizens do no like the police. You are just to much of a tough guy.
This is what YOU get. You're fucking yourself in the ass by doing this shit anyway. Not hiring means NO ONE adding to the pension. I hope you never see the $$$$. Wake the fuck up. People piss and moan about the union and every other thing under the sun when it comes to this job and what we have to look forward to, but in reality YOU are ALL scabs!!! Way to help out your OWN pension mess. UNFUCKING REAL.
7/21/2012 10:40:00 AM
If coppers didn't sign up for this they would just cancel days off and time due in those districts would be even more scarce. If you think they are going to hire more coppers because nobody signs up your a fool. 14mil isn't enough to do so even if they wanted to. Plus you shouldn't be wishing ill for other officers simply because they are cash strapped overtime opportunities especially at this rate is few and far between. You just pissed because your too afraid or too lazy to work it yourself.
Work the ghetto on my days off for time and a half? After 27 years here? No thanks. I don't want to look at them or listen to them or smell them ever again. They were the same 27 years ago. They don't change, nothing gets better, they still have their hand out for free stuff from the 'guvment. They still commit atrocities against each other, to their own men, women and children. There won't be a day when they become good citizens and decent human beings. They are just dangerous humanoids, good to stay away from. Now if it gets to quadruple time I might think about a day here and there but not for anything less.
There are only TWO reasons u wouldn't work this. 1) you're scared of working the ghetto or 2) u just don't need the money.
OR 3 we have a life away from this job and the blood money isn't worth it..how about STFU ..must be really lonely going home to your studio apt and telling your cats about your rough day in the ghetto..((011 16 years so suck it))
Low manpower???? This initiative doesn't even cover the PO's that retired before NATO. That's why the numbers aren't falling yet.
You should have checked time instead of money.
I worked the Obama detail back on June 1st and the Tubes the next week. When I looked at my bank account today I find I was only paid for 1 day of special, not 2.
I guess Rahm is taking the same stance with us as he is with the Parking Meter folks, if he don't agree with the bill, he just won't pay it.

Sorry, but if all these hit at one time and it bumps you into a higher tax rate, you will pay more in taxes for this stunt.
Sorry ladies...no sympathy.
It's very simple. The FOP ( or somebody !) needs to prepare a report that comprehensively addresses all of the issues (lack of hiring, poor command and supervision pool, lack of strategic planning, etc.). Bring in some respected experts, since you're never a prophet in your own kingdom. The dollars spent for the proper resources would be better spent then wasting them on billboards (speaking of strategy).
SCC, you've already laid out the structure of the report, just follow the points you make in the sidebar "problems facing the Department.". The deaths, wildings and carnage are a clear and logical result of terrible management and political oversight.
Since the media is blatantly ignoring their watchdog role, we must frame the issues for them, provide the evidence of mismanagement, offer solutions and put it into one package that is harder to cover up than if it came out in little pieces here and there on the blog.
I retired in July of 2010. Before retirement I went to finance and explained exactly how I wanted my money disbursed which included a $10,000. contribution, from my ot to Deferred Comp, since I was in Double up. Everything was set up until I went back and had a different person to issue my final check. I was told I could not make that contribution, it was lessened because they said I was over my total deductions. They did not know the amount of 33,000 was the max. After arguing and calling deferred comp. They decided to issue me a new check which took four weeks. That check was then lost at City Hall and I was not paid my final check until September. Nice to know I lost all that interest on my deferred comp money, even though that money doesn't go into deferred comp at the time of your pay because the city holds that money back for a month. This is what happens to an officer retiring. Nice, huh. Don't let something like this happen to you! Fight them like I didn't!

This douchebag is whats wrong with the department. Have fun being super cop for free. Dumbass!!!
We wouldn't be so short handed if 019 district would slim down a little bit. Its crazy how they merged districts yet they haven't disbanded any officers.
If 13 sgt's left when are the po's leaving?
f coppers didn't sign up for this they would just cancel days off and time due in those districts would be even more scarce.

I already work in those districts bud. You think I give a shit. Why are you cash strapped. Are you living ABOVE your means.
I suggest people start calling Nationwide and start demanding a low cost Bond Fund.
This could cost you tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of your deferred comp.
I am retired 2 years, 25 on the job. I played the market, mixed/blended, all that bullshit for years and lost my ass. NEVER rebounded. I Stayed in fixed for about my last 5 years at around 4%. I'm happy with over $275K now, earning about $3K each quarter in interest.
To me, it's like Vegas, unless you are in fixed.
Good Luck and Stay Safe All.
Remember this...
Cash-poor California turns to IOUs
The Golden State is running short on cash so it is issuing IOUs to some contractors, agencies and taxpayers.

Now is a good time to review your personal income tax status.
If you're one of those people that use the Federal and State income tax system as a kind of forced savings plan allowing the State and the Fed to take more money out of your paycheck each pay period then they are entitled to just so you will have a tax refund at the end of the year. I would re-think that plan.
The money for your refund just may not be there and who knows when if ever you'll get it.
Especially true if there's a bankruptcy.
The amount of taxes that are taken out of your paycheck each pay period is determined from the information you submit on your W-4 form. If you have had a significant change in income, or capital gains or losses you can adjust your W-4 withholdings to take out less or more money for taxes. Check with your tax adviser you just may qualify for an extra dependent on that W-4!
Do not use these people as your piggy bank by allowing them to hold your money until the end of the year.
They are not paying you interest for the favor. Stay in control of the money you've earned.
Check is in the mail. Quit bitching and what ever u do... Don't live from pay check to pay check...
Stay safe out there....
I don't know if many people read the CPD messages but last week it had something about the CHIPPS system being upgrade, this is the payroll system at City Hall for all city employees, it is down for awhile. I think this is the problem but the ignorant dog asses that work in Finace think they are smooth, but then again our weak ass unions, all ofthem have no balls to exert some pressure on the city. so end result is we wait for our money, another reason why you shouldn't rely on overtime to live or take vacations, etc.
A lot of people asked for hireback now we have it and fucking copper still complain! Best part time job going!

There are only TWO reasons u wouldn't work this. 1) you're scared of working the ghetto or 2) u just don't need the money. Those of you that claim you aren't doing it so as to force rahm to hire are just full of shit or really fucking dumb. If you believe for a second that rahm gives a fuck whether or not u work this you're just a naive moron that probably grew up in the burbs. I was born and raised here and I'm well aware Chicago democrats hate the police and don't give a shit about us. They aren't hiring whether we work it or we don't do I'm taking that easy 300 bucks a day. Meanwhile u keep believing u can change Rahm or go back to your computer in the corner of your basement in your tighty whiteys and keep telling everyone that you really aren't afraid of the ghetto

Ive worked the ghetto my whole career, both in patrol and and the D Unit. everyone could use the money but i could care less if the animals kill each other. its my time off to spend with my family. Your right Rahm could care less about us but all the killings come back on him because he would rather pay 50 coppers OT rather than hire 500 just to keep up on retirees for the last year
You are working for free if you have 29 years on & 55 years old. Go retire already and enjoy life while you can!

.and why would Finance tell PO's to call the FOP over a paycheck issue??
**************************************
It was more polite rather than say Fuck You ! rahmboy needs the money to earn more interest sitting in the bank.
Now I'm being told that the city will try to pay me in August for
work performed in June. This is bullshit!
And yet, if you are 30 past due on your water bill, they wack you with a fine. If you are late in paying your 2nd outstanding parking ticket, you get booted. And if you are late in paying your property taxes, you could lose your house.
But the city is late with payroll and, "oops, our bad. We'll get you next time."
Meanwhile u keep believing u can change Rahm or go back to your computer in the corner of your basement in your tighty whiteys and keep telling everyone that you really aren't afraid of the ghetto

Wow! I was really impressed with your tirade. Yes, you newbies can teach the reaming old fucks a thing or two. So, please, keep making those spectacular arrests. Do everything it takes to work plain clothes (it's looks sooo cool.)
Keep bringing in those numbers. But just remember, you will continue to get older and there will ALWAYS be younger guys/gals waiting in the shadows to take your place. Then, after you get dumped back to the watch, you too can sit there as many have. Angry and bitter at the fact that the powers that be did not see your awesomeness.
Oh oh. Roll call is starting. Hey, I hear the Lt is going to ask for more CTA checks.
