So I guess I learned something today. The concept of putting the bottom line up front is one of those rare actual good ideas that the military uses. The amount of poo poo I have to wade through in most corporate emails just to find the actual point is staggering. e: I'm not saying one should actually write "Bottom line up front," but the opening sentence or sentences definitely tell someone what the message is actually about. psydude fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Aug 12, 2019 |

The thesis statement goes at the top, TL:DR at the bottom for those who skim. edit: It also didn't help my credulity that he said it in meetings as BLUF(actually said the acronym): blah blah blah, instead of saying bottom line up front for those of us without the knowing of the lingo.

With that cost of living? gently caress that. Working mandatory 16s sucks, and the commute alone for most people means you'll be able to be home for a maximum of 4 hours total - might as well just bunk at work.

I don't know how it works for fed corrections but mandatory ot for city EMS and corrections is usually "hey you thought you were going home in an hour but you aren't sorry" I've heard stories of rikers guards frantically arranging for childcare from inside the prison because they can't leave. the effect on morale is left as an exercise for the reader

The ideal business email for a senior executive is 1-2 sentences to summarize the content and up to five supporting bullets below (that probably won't get read unless the issue is severe). Corporate higher ups receive a War and Peace level of text every day because everyone ccs them on everything.

BLUF statements are used for routing, too. Especially anything related to legislative affairs (congressionals) or other things that require prompt routing to the correct party. Unlike executive summaries or the humble tl;dr, a BLUF statement can be used on literally every correspondence in a formal manner too. I've made briefs that go right up to CJCS that have one. Like it sounds really dumb but they are really good and useful things for correspondence.

There are shifts that were so short staffed we were getting mandated for overtime 2-3 times a week each. Getting 4 hours of sleep at most in between 16s, or in between a 16 and an 8. At least at my department, we usually know about 2 hours into our 8 hr shift, unless someone calls out at the last minute. We have a couple people that commute 1.5 hrs each way, so you can see how that would suck the life out of you after a few weeks.

The phrase BLUF isn't used, but it's a core staple of a good econometrics presentation as well. Give the results up front and then get into the data.

UP THE BUM NO BABY posted:https://twitter.com/mikesisak/status/1160887245999681536?s=19 The amount of people in that thread who think a federal job in Manhattan is high paying is mind boggling. Detention officers are way down the pay scale, and while they get federal benefits, that kind of pay is below poverty level for the area almost ($53,000 is way below what you need to make to get by there, and if you're pulling 16 hour days, without extra pay because salaried, you can't work another job to make ends meet). No wonder the federal jail has a staffing shortage. orange juche fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Aug 12, 2019 |

Totally normal. My dad works corrections and loving hates it. The job sucks so it's hard to get good people willing to do it and the bad ones they have to hire love abusing the gently caress out of the very generous vacation policy. They also don't give a gently caress if their fake sick leave screws someone else over, and that person ends up working a double or more shift. He recently told me that right now he likes most of the inmates better than most of his coworkers.

The general consensus about what being a federal worker entails is basically 'the mean people at the DMV, but they make 150k' completely ignoring any other aspects of reality. edit: which is right up there with real federal workers being mad that WMATA bus drivers make 65k base salary.

People are completely ignorant of reality when it comes to federal workers to the point where there should be steam coming out of their ears making an old-timey whistle sound. IIRC the national average of a federal worker is like 67k or something.

Teachers in my county are paid pretty damned well, but the same can't be said for teachers on the Eastern Shore of MD, who live in Tea Party land.

Casimir Radon posted:Totally normal. So many of my former or current coworkers worked as COs either for the county, state, or NYC level. Two left NYC DOC. One left because there's so many inmates and so few COs that it's a huge officer safety issue, and he got a better job offer with city sanitation. One left because while at Rikers he was ordered by a Captain not to log the fact that the Captain and two COs were going into a Unit. If you're posted to / in charge of a Unit, you log everyone who goes in and out. Well, he didn't, because his supervisor told him not to. The Captain and the two other COs went into a prisoner's cell and beat him up because the inmate had injured another CO and put him out of work for months. Investigation happens, Captain and both COs get suspended and eventually fired. My coworker reported the incident to his higher ups (above his captain) after the incident happened. Gets out as soon as he could because every single day of work he would be mandated. And at Rikers Island, it takes a long time just to get back to your vehicle - so you're lucky if you get maybe 4 hours at home even if you live in the city. God forbid you live in Queens or Long Island, or up in Westchester, or Jersey. In so many jurisdictions, we dont pay our police officers or corrections officers enough*. They also don't get nearly enough training. And in far too many jurisdictions, they're understaffed, meaning mandatory overtime, meaning chronically tired officers, which generally means they make more mistakes, have less patience, aren't as alert, and that presents a problem from a public or inmate safety, as well as an officer safety perspective. In many jurisdictions this isn't an issue, but in the jurisdictions where it is an issue, it's a significant one that often gets overlooked. * Then again, almost everyone everywhere in the US is underpaid due to the oligarchy and late stage capitalist system we live under, so tax revenues are lower (because the wealthy corporations and the rich don't pay enough in taxes), so there's not enough local or state or federal tax revenues to increase pay for police or COs. So it's all a result of our awesome economic system. Yay capitalism.
