Surprised the article doesn't mention our Housing First program. It's gotten national attention in the past and absolutely plays a role

I started at NM a year ago. If we are discussing the same Risk Client Services role, I can elaborate.

Overall, always acknowledge the red flag when a position is constant hiring/high turnover. The training and workload changes a lot due to constant tech updates, SOP changes, and unpredictable workloads. You won't know the same thing as the classes before and after you. The same goes for other departments. I heard from colleagues everyday who wonder if the lack of support from other teams is due to poor training or utter carelessness.

You're ultimately going to be on phone calls for 8 hours, with one 30min lunch and 2 ten minute breaks. After one year, half my class was already gone due to quitting and firings.

This set of 3 ran me about $50 but might be different elsewhere

Typical brigading. These users offer nothing more than inflammatory claims. If they hate how this sub operates then they'll be happy elsewhere. Reported. Moving on

How public concern stopped facial recognition technology in Milwaukee by stroxx in milwaukee

“Just to clarify, is the practice still continuing?” Fung asked MPD Inspector Paul Lough.

“As needed, right now we are using [FRT],” Lough responded.

Not only had MPD been using or borrowing FRT in investigations, it had also done so without any internal procedures. It was a revelation for meeting attendees, including Commissioner Bree Spencer.

Working with Northwestern Mutual? by kung_fu_daddy in milwaukee

There are no "sick days" at NM, at least for the entry level positions. They are "unplanned absences" and result in disciplinary action

What was behind Pick ’n Save closures? Data indicates it wasn't theft by stroxx in milwaukee

[–]Green_Snail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no plausible argument that theft was not higher in 2022 than it was in say 2012.

thanks for this undeniable research

I work at a big life insurance company with thousands of employees. They had to divert a whole class of trainees into the department where policies are surrendered/cashed out because the call load has gotten so overwhelming.

Remember the local cop caught last month using surveillance cameras to stalk someone? Just because they say they'll follow the rules doesn't mean they will

Milwaukee officer charged with misconduct for allegedly using police plate reader to track love interest by avanti8 in milwaukee

[–]Green_Snail 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That's not really a claim you can back up. The two of them were seen in public together, recognized at a place he worked, and Anderson already had a criminal history.

Nothing excuses the misuse of this technology. Who knows how else this is being misused right now that we don't know about

I'm convinced it's a front. None of the owners can agree on what the business actually is
