From today's Buffalo News...
Erie County will hire 72 new deputies and supervisors to work in the county jails by 2015 to meet a directive by the State Commission of Correction, Sheriff Timothy B. Howard said Tuesday.
As an added incentive, Sheriff Howard has unveiled a special program for interested applicants. The first 15 people scoring higher than the politically connected kids from South Buffalo, will be given front row seats at the swearing-in ceremony. While they won't actually get the jobs, the studious youngsters can at least be there to see their drug addicted, inbred, uneducated, entitled counterparts take their formal oaths.
Sheriff announces plan to hire 72 by ’15
Ain't that the truth. Sounds like a "Full Employment Act for the Entitled Class of South Buffalo" was just ratified.
ReplyDeletethey have the balls to take the test, DO YOU.
ReplyDeleteBalls? Why do people assume everyone wants to be a prison guard, fireman, or police officer? These are all noble jobs, but not everyone has it in their psyche to like that type of work. Corrections officers often take their work home with them. Just like teaching or police work is not for everyone. Has nothing to do with courage, in my opinion.
DeleteWill you be taking test?
ReplyDeleteso you will not be taking the test but you will bitch about the ones that take the test and get hired.
ReplyDeleteNo. Only the ones who get hired over the people who score higher than them. We all know why the entitled make their political donations. Everybody is aware of this. It's not news.
ReplyDeletemike is absolutely right about the connected ones getting hired before people with higher scores. but i think since theyre hiring 75, 10 of those will be the gimme jobs and that leaves 65 openings for the rest of us. i like those odds. i will defiently be taking the test. gota be in it to win it.
ReplyDeletename one person ,JUST ONE who was skipped or shut up.
ReplyDeleteHey, not all are bad guys. I don't begrudge anyone for taking a job. But , it's not a coincidence when you see the same names popping up (Colpoys, Scanlon, Higgins). I know one time I scored #1 on a test (youth program coordinator) and they hired someone who finished 2 or 3. Anyway, I write what I write. You have the right to disagree.
