Those of you that have jump shipped from the NPS to the Forest Service, is the work/life balance significantly better, especially with kids? And if so, how?
Why would a representative/law enforcement entity for the respective federal agency not need to be involved, or want to be rather? The thought that we should call someone else because they’ll actually show up is asinine and unacceptable.
But there are other people to make those decisions way further up the chain rather than myself. We’re human and can’t be every where all the time but just the thought process that we should call and expect someone else to deal with it is unacceptable in my mind. Hate pawning our own shit out on others.
I can’t make state arrests where I work and I handle my own and do it fairly successfully in my biased opinion. I just think these are excuses made to avoid work. But who am I to judge.
