mmmmm...beer 744 Posted July 23 They've put me out to pasture boys. They know I'm retiring at the end of October. So they put my heir apparent into a "acting" me position for the next 120 days. They pretty much want him running the day to day. They've put me on revamping the policy/sops that haven't been touched since 2003. I'm supposed to help him with his questions, and mentor here or there. Honestly he'll do a way better job than me. He's still young enough and has enough time left to get after it. I'm not complaining... gives me time to lift 5x a week... cruise the interwebs. Though... I honestly can't freaking wait until October. This is a little brutal. Being no busy for the first time in 26 years is dragging... Plus... I miss my family. It's been two months since I left Japan. Going back the 1st week of August for 3 weeks, and then coming back to finish up. As of this week... 100% debt free... no house or car payments... no credit card debt... nada. It's a little weird feeling. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll assume that's short for standard operating procedures ? Those really got outta control at my last employer. Between those, flow charts, mission statements, etc. it was a god-awful amount of paperwork. Congratulations! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Between those, flow charts, mission statements, etc. it was a god-awful amount of paperwork. Congratulations! Right on the money with the SOP's. Right now our "handbook" is a weird amalgamation of policy and standard operating procedure. Meaning it's half "this is the rule" and "this is the agreed upon best practice/easiest way to adhere too or implement that policy". So we really need to separate them out. Going against policy will get you jammed up, legally even. Going against SOP... not so much. There's more than one way to skin a cat. I want to make sure just because you aren't doing it the exact way it says, you aren't written up for a policy violation, or "out of scope" and find yourself personally liable etc. for focking up. Really... I want the SOPs to be something a rookie agent can come in and say... how the heck do I do this? And the SOP can give them a guide, and as long as they follow the guide, they should be good to go policy wise. Most of its not rocket surgery, ie stuff like "when interviewing/interacting with an informant you are required to have more than one agent present". Just general stuff like that... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
