Some toxic leaders and an experience like that. Sad, but they should move on, for their own good, for the remaking of the force. Those employees however sound they be, would never see the world the same way again. Time for rejuvenation.

They work at a Temple of Democracy, I just don’t get it. How could anyone leave a job where the Members you protect shit on you, the public shits on you, the back the blue crowd attacks you with everything including chemicals, clubs, bats, bike racks, lumber, rocks, bricks, crutches, hockey sticks, flag poles, fuck, the kitchen sink, you work 60 plus hour weeks with little to no help on getting time off on holidays or weekends, you have no family life, you should just be happy and eat the shit.

Just lucky to be here.

If they lost 200, that would indicate about a 5% turnover rate. Most companies strive for a 10% turnover rate.

When the then President points his finger and says finger them and the executive branch agencies are not sharing the Intel in a useable form, you are fucked.
