@Heartofcoyote @ProPublica I just looked into this. Apparently, the sign-on bonuses are only for returning agents, but the recruitment ads just said "new recruits." They got bamboozled. The bonus is also in installments and comes with a commitment to five years of service. These guys are probably getting a little tired of the long hours and inconsistent/limited overtime pay. Maybe the chance to be cruel loses its shine when you're really exhausted? Hey, whatever it takes to get these guys to lose steam.
