[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had something similar happen to me years ago when I was working for a city police department. I specifically told my boss that I didn't want to work in the marine unit, and a year later, that's where I ended up. I later learned this was a pattern at my organization. Another guy had ended up in the pawn shop unit, when he had specifically said he didn't want to do that kind of work.

The good news is that both of us were eventually able to get transferred into a better role. For me, the transfer happened faster, because another supervisor specifically requested me. Maybe see if you can make a lateral move in your org to a different manager?

Good luck! [/quote]

Yeah, but you gotta be careful not to get too caught up in the job.  After all, it's just a job.
You need something outside of this here.  The job will not save you.
Soon you could be taking your work home with you, and then it could become personal... interfering with your home life.

I've heard of folks just like you, PP... get so caught up in their work that it became almost an obsession.  They ended up getting caught cutting corners, doing some dirt... forced out.  They ended up being blackballed in their industry, and had to find alternative employment.

BTW, how long was your co-worker in the pawn unit?
