There are rumors coming out of Connecticut Juvenile Training
School about a bad situation that developed with an employee. Let us first go
back in time for a recapitulation of events that management must bear the responsibility
for. Several years ago at CJTS Key Stone Cops management rode rough shod over
the rights of Youth Services Officers –white / black, but esp. the latter- and
used another Caucasian employee as an instrument of terrorization. The YSO
continually harassed employees of color, filed complaints and grievances, then
used union policies to legitimize those claims put forth. In return for doing
the dirty work of management intent on keeping draconian order on the
plantation, the YSO was never personally confronted about behavioral issues
that seemed out of proportion as time moved on. Now the chickens are coming home
to roost.
The YSO went through a series of events which includes past
termination, reinstatement, and loss of being active on the Union agenda at
CJTS. In recent months since getting hired back at CJTS the YSO denounced
everyone –real or imagined- thought to be enemies i.e. management or other YSOs.
And so, the shit has hit the fan. Sources within DCF Plantation report that
this person who once worked for management as spy, dispenser of justice, and
school yard bully is once again out on administrative leave. People working at CJTS complained about how
erratic the YSO behaved, going to every Unit building making wild accusations
against staff, filing numerous complaints about residents mistreatment that
were not true and creating a hostile work environment.
Now other YSOs complained of not wanting to work with the
once feared instrument of management, and now there are concerns for personal
safety of employees / residents. This scenario was predicted by staff at CJTS
and writers of this blog years ago. People foresaw how this YSO was slowly
losing control of behavioral checks regulating most other human beings. However
if memory serves this writer correctly management at CJTS Plantation refused to
discipline the YSO, ( who is now out of control and striking fear into the
employee base ) because it was in their best interest not to do so. In other
words management allowed their creation to run amok in the CJTS countryside like the
Frankenstein monster in those old Universal Picture Studio movies. In one
instance it was reported how the YSO, who is now shunned from the CJTS property, went
to a meeting with the Superintendent and used abusive language, i.e. the top
administrator heard expletives hurled his way. Holy crap.
In conclusion, let it be noted that the YSO on administrative
leave cannot come within so many yards of the CJTS Plantation. Just so people
get the message that trouble is on the horizon, pictures of the YSO are posted
in their main operations control center. I guess now management is concerned
and is taking measures to protect residents and staff.
Truth of the matter is they [ management ] created this out
of control nightmare.
