I have been working for the city for a while now, and just finished my 6 months probation period last month. After this probationary period, I have to say something about my city employee's badge.
During the orientation an HR lady asked us new employees to think about what the city badge may represent in the eyes of the public, and we should act accordingly. For example, if we were offered a cup of coffee free at a local business, maybe we ought to refuse it.
What I have to say is that my personal experience has been quite the opposite. I have been carrying my city employee's badge everywhere I go, just short of brandishing and flaunting it in everyone's face, and I have yet to receive my free cup of coffee.
I think I am going to ask her where she gets her breakfast and try my luck there. Her name is Jill. To avoid my question becoming a city public record, I will ask her in person instead of sending her an email. I will keep you guys posted if I ever received my free cup of coffee.
Happy almost new year everyone!
