A #stressful #StateofTexasTDCJ day
The days restoring the facilities back to normal operations after the flood of 2016 were the most stressful. The worst was when water first came into the office and i risked my life moving computers upstairs to avoid the water. Then I sat for a moment to rest and the boss walks in and fussed at me for taking a break . wow !!

The biggest mistake I made as a #MaintenanceSupervisor at #StateofTexasTDCJ ...
Presure was on to bring up the facilities after a flood. The boss shouted angry comments at the maintenance supervisors for not wanting to start work until their work crews arrived. They were being bussed back to our facility from another that was not flooded. I started work by myself and got hurt. After work the clinic on site was closed and I sought help at another clinic offsite and got written up for it. I worked too hard and long for them and did not take care of myself .

My advice to people interested in working at #StateofTexasTDCJ as a #MaintenanceSupervisor ...
Your life is in danger and your professional reputation is at risk because of the way the facilities are operated. I would only take an executive level or engineering job designing the facilities that is away from the daily running of the facilities. Day to day operations is not worthh it.
