My department is not giving vests to wear on a ride-along. The officer in charge said it's not the standard operating procedure anyway. I find that strange considering the place we were particularly visiting that day. Bullets can fly at any time. Am I being paranoid?

You are not being paranoid, why is a vest not even part of the uniform, I don't get it.

No, not paranoid. You should have it. I would ask if I can buy my own vest and wear it.

Maybe it wouldn't hurt to ask why they're not giving them out. Does your department have a supply problem? I would feel better with a vest out on the street, and you should, too.

Get a vest. Cops are targets these days.

Why is that? Even if it's not the standard operating procedure, they should look after your safety. You are not bulletproof after all.

You are not. And even if you are, you have all the right to be. They probably think you're bulletproof.

I started in my first SDR position in a small SaaS start up few months ago. I am the only SDR and their first ever.
The base salary is ok but I haven’t received any commission structure up to this day.
I book an average of 3-5 demos per week. People always show up, but the thing that worries me is that I do not have a way to track how many meetings I book in our CRM,and to be honest I feel like I didn’t get the best training overall. Should I start looking somewhere else? Thoughts?

Thanks

Has anyone moved away from NY and successfully resigned from the NY bar? What are the consequences if you just don’t pay? The requirements are insane to officially “resign” - draft a motion, pay a fee, send proof of service - I honestly do not know what this nonsense means, I’m not a litigator for a reason. Is there someone I can pay to do it? Should I just pay the $375 to stay active to avoid this nightmare?
