These problems are magnified by a lack of work ethic in todays society. You can’t go anywhere without help wanted signs posted, or address an issue in the free world without short handed being an excuse.
Administration always catches the brunt of blame when things are not going well. If people truly think admin is to blame they should go to the open board meeting and ask questions in a public forum. They are required by law to provide you with a response.
The greatest motivator for staff to go to work is the money. If all the governmental handouts disappear, I guarantee people will get up and go to work, administrative and officer attitudes will improve, and convicts can be put in check.
I truly worry about the working environment for staff today. This new generation has no idea about “The Devil’s Butcher Shop” or Attica. Most of these folks don’t even know offenders Como, Nelson or Corrasco.
I don’t even pretend to have all the answers. I’m am, however, pretty sure new bus driver uniforms, employee relaxation rooms, and relaxation of employee grooming standards have not added any new employees.
