Good riddance to bad workplace - 911 Dispatcher/Calltaker Toronto Police Service Employee Review

I finally got enough points to retire with a half assed pension which the idiots in uniform bargained away for more wage money. You will have everyone smiling at you and welcoming you because no one wants to stay so they suck you in to fill the holes in their numbers. You hear promises and offers but be prepared to kiss some big butt to get very little in return. There is a very pompous attitude amongst the management because they think their poop don't smell and most of them are in management because they cannot do the job. You are watched and critiqued by people who have never down the job and the stress levels are through the roof what with shift work, rude people calling in, bosses crapping on you and a general disrespect by members of the uniform side. There is a saying that uniform management polishes theirs boots and badges with the blood and sweat of useless civilians. You cannot talk your way out of anything if you make a mistake because you are prejudged and pre-condemned. And whatever you do, don't get sick, have a bad day, have a relative sicken or die, ask for help or even show any weakness because they will be all over you like vultures and scavengers. There is no reward or feeling of success and achievement in this job. Your motivation for working here has to be strictly monetary and you can't get a job at Walmart because job satisfaction is Job Zero here. I spent 25 years in this place and all I got was a the t-shirt telling me to get out. Once last thing.......there has to be something wrong with a place where people can tell you to the day when they can retire......when even new people know the final work day after a few months and where people count down the days like a prison term ending. I cannot count the number of people I found crying in the washroom and shouting in the lunchroom or going off during a smoke break outside, all because of the frustration of the way they are treated and the place is managed. Avoid this place like the plague......look to other police services and fire departments for dispatcher jobs but don't sign on here....you'll regret it till the day you can do what I finally did and that's walk away in relief.
