Exactly why I took early retirement from corrections. Didn’t have a problem with dealing with inmates. It was the evil, corrupt, superintendent whose only qualifications for the job were a gigantic set of bolt ons. No transfer opportunities so took early retirement and went into oilfield security. Ended up making more money and loved the job. She was livid that I would take early retirement. I was one of the few supervisors with any long term experience and it left her with a lot of new inexperienced supervisors. She swore I’d come crawling back. Never did.

I could be happy pumping portapotties if I had a good boss.
