"I came from another dept and was FORCED to go to the entire training that LPD gave because they didn't hire laterals because of prior problems. " No one FORCED you to accept employment. I was offered a recruit position and told them NO THANKS. I waited until a lateral class was hired. You took what they offered, you wern't FORCED. Sounds like you should have been patient. Don't blame someone else.
