Prison Officers.Org.UK

Sorted thanks, I was getting worried that Fi was some new terminology for cool kids that I didn’t know

No idea why that posted Fi lol?

Jambog, find the area you want to post in ie ask an officer. Click into that section then there should be an option at the top that says new topic

Fi?

Fi

Guys I’m trying to post a new topic but for some reason I can’t find the option, can anyone help. Thanks

Bearguy, when is it you start your poelt? I forgot

I understand things can go pearshaped on a shift an staying an hour or 2 to sort it out is absolutely not a problem (tbh I aint even fussed about overtime pay or lieu pay)

sorry missed the chat guys. Had quick flick through n about three following hour out two comment worst i had was 6 hours, but that was because we had a serious incident needing tornado squads in so very rare

Got myself another 9 hours at work here ! Need to find more prison videos !

It is important to have a good holiday, if you dont pent up stress just piles up, not good for ya, even just going up to Scotland or doing Wales or something

. I was thinking a nice gust of wind to blow the tent away, wake up in a different county would add the element of surprise lol

Job security is a big thing and job prospects is even a bigger thing

Any holiday mate couldnt care less where it is

what about a cruise? that sounds luxury to me

camping in the local playing field?

JC I think your previous experience will be a great help to you

Falk, the amount of times ive had to go in 4 or 5 hours earlier due to an issue that happened in store. Cancel days off, cancel annual leave. I think worklife balance will be a dream compared to what im used too.

Only us 3 on Falkor

Dealing with shite will be a daily occurrence mind !! I haven’t started but watched enough videos and documentary’s about everything Prison related. You watched anything ?

Sorry I couldnt get on

Falkor.....now now haha !!

Hehe a healthier work balance sounds good

I think I read a thread you said your dad was a Prison Officer.. Part of my decision was also for a healthier work life balance. As a manager if a shift leader calls sick for a day and no one can cover it, guess what? My day off is cancelled and im in covering it. And im fed up with customer complaining about shite. I want to help people out with some real issues in there lives which I can have a big impact on,

My dad joined the service when the coal mines closed, and was in there until he retired. I wanted a career, left college early to work and get money on my pocket, worked my way up the ranks in a factory but became disillusioned with it all, and thought, why not give it a go ! It’s a job for life !

That’s very admirable !! You won’t be short of people wanting help !

Tbh bear, I want to help people on a bigger level with life. As a manager I help people a lot with small problems and working in a prison I think i could help people overcome bigger problems in life... How about u?

So JC, what made you want to join the service ?

Only right as well !!!! Some people have nothing, sad.

Im watching it on c5, poor people going on a luxury safari holiday in Africa, the rich people get a holiday in Isle Of White

Any holiday mate couldnt care less where it is

I dont think anyones coming on bear

Gaboo couldn’t make it and nobody else seemed bothered. Rich holiday poor holiday....and holiday would do for me !

I will carry on watching rich holiday poor holiday in the meantime

No idea ! No bugger on yet ?!

Is this happening tonight?
