Does anyone ever think that the stress of being a police officer isn’t worth it? My take-home pay definitely isn’t worth it for me, that’s for sure.

Honestly don’t know how you all do it. There’s a reason we’ve dropped 1100+ officers and likely to drop more. Can’t imagine being an officer in California at this point. I do know some of the young guys…so much OT and it’s all about the money for them right now.

You're not the only one feeling this, we're seeing this a lot. I would say if you've lost your passion for the role...look at other things, explore hobbies and try to find your why again, otherwise you're going to be miserable

Manager 1 has a point... Of course it's easier to do that when you can afford to have hobbies. Let's not even talk about affording a mortgage, a vehicle, health insurance... and of course just simply getting a little bit of basic human decency from the agencies we work for.

...But there I go again saying things everyone's thinking but no one actually wants to articulate.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
