Same; seeing so many people that Ive worked with over the years pack up their toys and leave recently. The overtime they did from transit made their 20 year pensions closer to those of a 25 year pension. Theyre not going to see those OT hours again anytime soon, so they are essentially being forced out. Besides the million other reasons to leave this department, significantly cutting OT was a surefire way to cause yet another mass exodus. Its okay though- our most experienced guys are going to get replaced with the most brilliant and mature city residents the job is apparently green-lighting their plan to lower the minimum hiring age to 20 year old, and to drop the 60 college credit/2.0 GPA requirement (which is a damn joke to begin with).
