Speaking of the Cops

[marty]

Had a phone call out of the 'blue' today....

'Hi it's xxxxx from Police HR here. Just wondering if you have been considering re-joining the Police'

'But I Perfed...'

'I'm sure that the 3 year break has done you a world of good, and given you a new lease on life. Do you realise that you would come back in on the pay scale that you left on?'


bizzare.

NOOooo.... keep to your normal jopb - and life!!

[candor]

On the pay scale you left on. What else. But then if they really want you they should be offering more, a good deal more. Don't get what don't ask.

[marty]

good point!

pay would be a hop across of what my basic is now - but with shift loading and overtime i easily earn an extra $30k.

permanent night shift is starting to hurt though.

[Krusti]

Crossed my mind too but do I have to meet the same fitness scale?

[marty]

you've probably got 4.30 to do the PCT in :)

if i went back, it'd have to be somewhere i wasn't before - CIB maybe

[What?]

You're the third one I've heard of this week!
Maybe they think that now Clit Rickards is gone, everyone else will want to come back???

[vifferman]

Heh.
It's funny that you mentioned him, because when I read Marty's post my first thought was: "Wonder if Rickards will come back in a few years...?"

[RantyDave]

'But I Perfed...'
Perfed?

Dave

[vifferman]

Perfed?

Dave
Took early retirement. (Police Early Retirement Fund)

[MSTRS]

Surely the reasons for you leaving are still there? The job is still a thankless one in many ways, and there are more arseholes to deal with than ever before.

[Swoop]

Stuff going back in on your old salary scale.
How much inflation has occurred in three years? Essentially, you would be taking a pay cut.

Interesting - didn't think people could rejoin after perfing! Good to see they are trying to get experience back in the force. About time.

I didn't perf, I absolutely loved the job, but I resigned to return to banking when my previous employer came along and offered better money and lifestyle than what I currently had.... although it seems the bank now wants my soul as well as my blood, sweat and tears..... grumble... banks.... profits... grumble....

Promotion was too slow in the police and the pay scale increments are poor. The annual increments were about 1%-1.5% depending on salary. Inflation in Auckland runs at 2-3 times that. By the time they give a general pay lift, it merely catches up with inflation over the years passed - if that. That system needs an overhaul.

I'd say my PCT time would be long enough now to sit down and have a latte in the middle of it.

bizzare.

They're looking for someone to take over Clint's spot maybe??

[marty]

yeah so did i. best time 1.45, when i was doing ironman and other silly stuff. could probably mash ou a (just) sub 2.00 now though, as it takes a bit to drag my fat 102kg arse around, as opposed to 87 at the time.

yes the reasons i left are still there, but i have a substantially different view on life now, having been able to step away from the insidious culture that was prevalent at the time.

i'd go back on $67k + 7% super, if what they say is true.

[jahrasti]

They did the same shit to people who had left the military. It makes sense, that they are short of experience, so put the feelers out to people to see if they can be roped in. Even if one person says yes then sweet thats instant experience they have gained.

[Usarka]

rack off pig.


still want to go back?

[spudchucka]

Why do people think that bothers cops.

The amount of dumb f*%k losers that think they can rile up a cop by calling them a pig is simply astounding.

To me its just a reliable mechanism by which I can identify half wits that are simply here to steal other people's oxygen.

Surely it was a joke ?

What if ACC paid out a lump sum back in the day for a "non specific" back injury, you know the type I mean.........

Then, miraculously, your back became well enough years later to do physical labour again - would ACC ask for the payout back, or a % of it ?

[Krusti]

I always proud of being labelled a pig.....same as my mate when dickheads say to him, "you fat useless maori"..........his reply, "and your problem is?" :clap:

Those #*%^#*$ @*$%^(@#*$ @(*#^$ @#&6 @#($* @#$&* retards dont bother me one bit :lol:

and the best thing about that is that there's a number of options available:

1. ignore
2. 'really? you're under arrest'. for what? you may ask....geez where could i start - ex team policing so have a multitude of dodgy life annoying charges i could lock you up for :0
3. call you a loser in front of your mates.




disclaimer # the whole sniff sniff bacon thing and being called a pig never worried me, and the above are just in jest. well #2 was anyway.....#

[marty]

actually, it's like the PERF - the $$ is there to help you rehab from the injury, and maybe move into another career/job.

once the injury has been dealt with, with assistance from any payout, why shouldn't the person be clear of that debt?

But some injuries are never dealt with, such as 'non specific back injury' - maybe I've heard wrong but cases where people claim back pain, which was always difficult to verify, and signed disclaimers where they could not return to normal physical duties and received a large lump sum.

Or the example of the fairly high up, desk bound cop that perfed, then went to what any reasonable person would consider a more stressful job.

I'm not cop bashing, but on the face of it, it appears to be a bit of an easily corrupted system doesn't it ?

(Just like a lot of back pain payouts)

[marty]

i guess it was. i got out for reasons i don't need to disclose here, but i have dealt with and moved on from those, so if a psych. says i'm ok, then maybe it's worth considering

I've got such thick skin they wouldn't issue me one of those new vests.

[BAD DAD]

Had a phone call out of the 'blue' today....

..... Just wondering if you have been considering re-joining the Police' bizzare.

You could say, "Yeah, as long as I don't have to do any of that traffic offence quota revenue gathering bla bla bla" or "Yeah, as long as I get the resources to actually do my job without out my family carrying the burden of all that stress and frustration"

[McJim]

I've got such thick skin they wouldn't issue me one of those new vests.

Yeah but even if you didn't have thick skin riding a proper bike puts everything unpleasant in perspective.

[darkwolf]

Or a riot helmet? Same reason?

[spudchucka]

I spend more time fishing than riding these days and the Ducati might have to go on the market as a result. Apparently a man can have too many toys!:weep:

finding a bad guy has found out where you live, after threatening to rape your wife and daughter.

finding threatening/offensive mail hand delivered in your letterbox

3 years later still not being ble to have a listed ph number, or be on the published roll

having your parent's house molitoved because your place can't be found.

[mstriumph]

and THAT is the life you are contemplating returning to ???

madness!!

[Scouse]

What happend to the asprations of becoming an airline pilot?

[marty]

oh they're still there. did 5 hours yesterday in the 206, and a couple this week IFR in the aztec, so are happily building up time, not to mention are 1/4 way through an instructors rating.

not really thinking about going back - for the reasons above, and also cause i just like working at the airport, not to mention i have worked pretty hard in the last 3 years to get to where i am now.

[scumdog]

disclaimer # the whole sniff sniff bacon thing and being called a pig never worried me, and the above are just in jest. well #2 was anyway.....#

Re the "I smell bacon" comments - if I'm feeliing childish I reply 'and I smell shit"..has caused a bit of consternation from time to time..<_<

But most of the time my soft-hearted nature just makes me look at them in the pitying way they deserve.

Mate don't tell me that is so. Too many toys, surely not?? :shit: :no:
