I used to work for the Westbank division in Marrero as a MEO2 for 4 years. It was definitely bitter sweet leaving the levee board mainly because of the good people I've met along the way and the fact that I actually loved what I did and the major roll we all played in helping our community. But the Westbank location isn't where it's at. They have a problem with retaliation and civil service don't do anything for the employee's protection on the job, supposedly one of the reasons they exist. So it was best that I part ways. It was almost as if the supervisor and the person at civil service were buddy buddy or something, but yall know how that goes. If you're not apart of the "Click" and don't join them at the PGA Golf Tournament games in Avondale or go fishing with the big wigs you don't have a chance and don't mean a damn thing to them. It suck that the agency hired and actually depends on this dude to run their crews when other employees there with more experience can do the job more efficiently and professionally. Maybe one day if that guy leaves or gets fired from his job there, I may try to come back. I do miss it thats for sure, but I definitely don't miss the bs.
