get this shit

[benchmstr]

i was promoted to patrol Sgt on Monday, everything was going great. two days later i was off duty, in my garage working on my motorcycle when i get a call from my chief, he says "can you get here quick we got a situation". i say "sure, be there in 7-12 minutes". i get there, go to his office, sit down, and he says "your employment is being terminated effective immediately due to at-will termination". me not knowing the term ask what is at will. he shows me in our policy manual that he can fire me for no reason at all if he feels like it. i ask did anything lead up to this, he said "no, it is just at-will".

i called my TMPA rep on the way out of town and they said they have been having a lot of problems with the "at-will" policies lately. i have no intention of pressing any type of civil charges or anything like that. i just want to make sure my F5 form shows the reason i was fired was the reason i was given.

on my way home i stopped by another pd filled out a app, talked to their chief, and have a review board for Tuesday. so things aren't all that bad.

i made them come to my house for my uniforms and shit, because i didn't want to make a second trip. so i am drinking some brew and BBQ today. thank god i was fired or i would have never had today off!!!

No offense Bench, but from the posts you made about harassing citizens at traffic stops where you would have your music on while writing a ticket and leaving them sitting in their cars for over 40 mins for just a minor traffic stop is probably an indication and I imagine numerous complaints probably led to your removal. Cops need to act like cops, you make $35,000 a year and most act like people should kiss your ass and bow to you like kings when you pull people over and harass them.

I guess this kinda shows that the taxpayers are your boss, because you work under a clause that says you can get fired for anything.

so what your saying is since cops pay taxes, we are our own bosses. thanks for clearing that up rhymetime.

WTF??? Why promote someone, just to let them go

Good luck with your review board Tues.

[Stubborn]

That shit would drive me nuts. The whole "I'm too much of a pussy to tell you why you are fired" thing is unacceptable.

Good luck with the new PD!

Shit, I was gonna say, if you were in SC, hit me up and I could hook you up with a friend who specializes in "wrongful termination" suits. Sounds like that's not really what you're lookin' for, but best of luck to ya, man.
