Me and another deputy busted two guys dumping stolen vehicles in a grove, i setup perimeter and called for air and k9. The other guy tracked with k9 while I continuously adjusted perimeter for a 5 mile track. ended up catching them both. Only thing my Sgt told me at the time was "hurry up, i can't go home until you get your report done." And other gripes.
Today she did something that irritated me on a call. I griped for a few seconds about it to another deputy I thought I could trust. No big deal, small gripe. Deputy went and ran to the supervisor later and tattled on me. Got a nice "do you have a problem with me?" computer message after I left the jail processing a DUI I found.. :rolleyes:
Not only do I have a supervisory that doesn't like good jobs.. but I have a snitch on the shift as well. :rolleyes:

They were who we thought they were.
Playoffs?? Playoffs!!??? Don't talk about PLAYOFFS!!!??
Looks like a lot of these problems translate to my job as well. Guess people are people, no matter what they do for a living.
That must have been a crappy situation marinepilot. I think this is everyone's worst nightmare considering how much time we spend at work. While we are on the topic, does anyone have any tips on how to deal with a situation like this? Do you go above the supervisor? Talk to them one on one?

As a line sergeant I have offered praise to my troops both new and old for doing a good job. I do not think however constant reassurance for doing your job is necessary. As some mentioned earlier you get paid to do the job so I expect you are expected to do it. With that said if the only time you hear from your Sgt is when you are getting your but chewed then that is a problem also.
My boss just thanked me with a time off award, which was damned nice of him.
In general, though, I'm willing to forgo the attaboys, as long as the paychecks keep clearing.
