Days Off Canceled....Maybe

Looks like downtown is going to screw up the first two weeks of September with canceling days off and unspecified deployments?

  • OT: has anyone read the Mexican days off cancelled amc message? Could they have made that any more complicated? My goodness.

Who has a copy? From what we've heard, there is some sort of "alert" about possible cancellations and notices about mass arrest procedures being on standby....which is a joke because the chances of a mass arrest incident are near zero.

Should be a great time.

We are not slaves. Hit the medical. As an officer we knew we wouldnt be able to take certain days off if we were scheduled to work like NYE but if you happened to be off then enjoy it. Now these coward bosses treat us as slaves. Not being allowed to have your RDO anytime they allow the city to schedule an event is ridiculous. Hopefully Ursetti has a spine and changes this but not holding my breath

Idiots at the top, don’t know shit about how to make deployments. Every holiday is canceled days off I guess in Chicago. So much for the union stopping this.

The “Union”?? The fop is not a “union”. It’s a glorified members only club house that eats its own and couldn’t fight its way out of a paper bag. It sits directly next door to a real union (local 130), but isn’t a real “union”. Chicago police would be better off being represented by local 150 engineers. At least they’ve figured out how to get it’s members double time for involuntary days off canceled. The fop is currently being ran by psychopaths who will deny till they die that they’ve done anything wrong or admit they’ve set cops back decades in terms of having a real seat at the bargaining table. But yea, call them a “union” if it helps you get through your day.

What’s better? Working in construction with a set Mon-Fri, weekends/ holidays off schedule? Where you master a trade and get to see what you’ve accomplished with your hands? Pfft, no way man. I’d rather get paid only time and a half to work 10-20 days in a row, 12 hour days, while watching savages commit crimes right in front of me knowing I can’t do shit about it, with a camera attached to me watching my every move waiting for me to screw up. I’d rather have no time to spend with my family, but instead sit in a squad car and play with my phone, hoping to God I don’t have to interact with the public. All while being at the whim of completely inept bosses who couldn’t manage a Walgreens let alone supervise a major metropolitan police dept. Yea, I made the right choice.

Hahahaha. Try living in 008. Thats every night all night. The weekends it’s from 8pm till about 4am or longer Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then a pop up day or two during the week. You guys in Beverly are rookies but then again, you’re from Beverly so you’ll complain about anything and everything. Garfield ridge is a drag strip and drifting haven. You guys are spoiled. Same with 016. You won’t get any sympathy from anyone who lives in 008 or 016… they deal with the same stuff all weekend in 016. Liberal Beverly snobs crying once again because “it can’t happen here, it’s Beverly!!” It happens in every district in the city every weekend when these guys drive around all night long, you’re nothing special.

Costco is always hiring receipt checkers if this job is too much. Leave and create more overtime for the ones of us who knew what we signed up for when we applied. Payed off my house mortgage free at 36 yearsold. My vehicle is payed off, wife’s is a few payments away, all because of this job you complain about. This must be one of those recent hired ex Starbucks barista kids who complain n cry if they work too much.

You mean the drag racers?Where you been for the past 10-15 years??? Always happens on the weekends in every corner of the city and suburbs. They do their stupid donuts and spin outs, run when the cops show up and do it again a few miles away. Rinse, lather and repeat all weekend and all summer long. These people come from all the surrounding states to do this here. They know we can’t chase for anything they are doing and I really hope no coppers are dumb enough to ram or chase these guys. Not worth it until laws change which will be never.

Nonsense to cancel and have people were 12 hours for so many days. This is what happens when you allow people to do whatever they want without consequences. The past couple weekends we have been mandatory extended in 011 for large gatherings and drag racing. Officers are exhausted and these bosses are idiots.

Don't forget the "mandatory" money for the company Christmas party. Cold sandwitches, cans of soda and drunk brawls. All for the low low price of 50-80 dollars per person. You don't have to go, but you better buy a ticket, or else. Only company you will ever work for that makes you pay for your own party. Explain to someone that isn't the police that you have to pay for your own party. They won't believe you.

Speaking of canceled days off, what is going on with the dispatchers at the OEMC? Has anyone been fired? Someone asked this question in a previous discussion, “does the discharged loan have to be reported as income?” The answer is yes (for the majority of the dispatchers and everyone else who fraudulently obtained the loan or improperly used the loan proceeds). Mr. Tax Man, please set up shop at the Chicago OEMC to get your numbers, you will earn a promotion, rise through the ranks, and make a name for yourself.
