DRIFTING FURTHER AND FURTHER FROM SANITY

The definition of words can often be helpful in critical analysis of people or situations. Take for instance the second definition of sanity "soundness of judgment or reason" and apply it to leadership at Connecticut Juvenile Training School. On February 5, 2015 a large Human Resources meeting was held in building # 1 at CJTS among Key Stone Cops leadership and Youth Service Officers. A certain YSO complained about building # 5 Unit Supervisor in very unflattering terms. What is interesting is how the person pointing fingers [ "let he (or she) who is without sin cast the first stone" ] at this conclave has long been highlighted as making statements that create havoc among peers / others.

Management types must be drifting further and further from sanity to listen to words from this YSO who has been reprimanded for egregious action against residents and staff at CJTS Plantation. In the past this YSO made comments about how staff were using the brunch offered to residents as means to keep them secluded in rooms until feeding time. Due to the above mentioned YSOs tirade Superintendent William Rosenbeck suspended brunch at CJTS. What is alarming --and shows a lack of sanity from management [ if there ever was any ] -- is how leadership at this particular facility allows those with the loudest voice to dictate policy. Other YSOs contacted DCF Plantation blog by email to state " how can someone recently given their job back after being fired be so influential with management that a Unit Supervisor in building # 5 is thrown under the bus by a loose cannon's words."

In the past this blog has posted numerous stories about the ineptness and erratic behavior of CJTS leadership esp. in terminations of males employees of color. Now this latest development only confirms how management is drifting further and further from sanity.
