Probationary Investigators

Got into the office this morning and discovered that despite only having 5 Investigators to handle our case load, Napoleon ans Mgt Staff decided to let our junior probationary investigator go. No explanation, no words spoken about the loss. However, all of his cases (28) will be assigned by Napoleon to the remaining personnel.

This is crazy to think that Napoleon would let his pettiness over-ride the needs of the unit, even if it was a short-term issue. This would make one more good investigator lost due to Napoleon's backstabbing and lack of real leadership. Ironically, it wouldn't have surprised me one bit if the latest investigator released dosn't file an official grievance against Napoleon.

I personally feel that it speaks volumes to the character of a manager/supervisor when he can't put his personal feelings for someone aside long enough to see what is really best for the unit overall. Again, I'm not sure how letting this investigator go is suppose to help our unit out. Especially in a time when he has been begging Mgt for more manpower.

Wish there was some way to figure all of this out. I can honestly say that the last investigator he targeted never stood a chance in hell of passing probation. Napoleon had him targeted as "prior law enforcement" and despite his excellent investigative techniques and ability to get the hard interviews completed, in the end that mattered not as Napoleon was willing to forsake the unit by any means necessary in order to further his personal agenda to become the next Chief Investigator.
