Used and Abused - Team Leader Tennessee State Government Employee Review

DCS managers go too far in dismissing the employee's personal life. Employees are required be accessed at all times by cell phone whether they are actually on-call or not. Time off, which is earned in benefits is still denied because of overdue assignments, in which the deadlines were unrealistic, to begin with. If one wants to work overtime to meet the deadlines, they will have to work on their own time because overtime is strongly discouraged or denied. Management takes advantage of employees in the name of "safety for the children we serve."
