UNIT LEADER PAID FOR NOT WORKING

The salary for Unit Leaders at Connecticut Juvenile Training School is between $55,000- $70,000 sources report. The CJTS facility is for incarcerated male residents and Unit Leaders have responsibilities of caring for Youth Service Officers and youth in their care. That is why the e-mail received by DCF Plantation Blog ( if true) is somewhat puzzling and troubling. In building  # 6 sources report how a Unit Leader is allowing a YSO to complete all paper work necessary for the efficient running of that particular Pod ( as Units are called ). No the YSO is not doing this because the Unit Leader has cognitive issues; there is a quid quo pro involved in the paper work scenario. In return for doing all the Unit Leader’s paper work this YSO is not disciplined or reprimanded in any fashion or form. Other YSOs employed at CJTS say this is why the paperwork doing YSO is allowed to verbally berate a resident for periods of time and not be disciplined.

To make matters worse the YSO doing the verbal chastisement is out in the open with it because of this tight relationship with the Unit Leader who avoids doing paper work with a passion. If we scrutinize the situation from another vantage point [ parallax view ] what is said to be occurring is some type of fraud upon the State of Connecticut and tax paying citizens. At a time when Governor of Connecticut Dannel Malloy is trying to cut three billion dollars from his budget, someone is getting paid for nothing. In fairness to readers, all of this being reported is from second hand talk of other employees at CJTS. But in the past their information has been reliable and accurate (to a point ) ergo, it is safe to assume this data has a modicum of truth to it. The Unit Leader in building # 6 is not some novice to the service of this kind of work; reports indicate the person has years of work experience with this particular agency. So if there is significant work history why does this person get paid while another person does their paper work? Stories of injustice, racism, bias, doling out of overtime to friends and gross incompetence continues to cascade out of CJTS Plantation.

Now we have the Unit Leader in building # 6 who is paid for not working.
