Despite fare hikes, the MTA has cut those maroon-vested station agents from 17 Brooklyn subway stations, effective yesterday. The affected stations include the Prospect Park B/Q station, where cops allegedly sodomized a man back in October 2008. Abandoned subway entrances will have intercoms patched into the 24-hour booth, but residents are uneasy, and one commuter at the Utica Avenue station in Bed Stuy tells the Daily News, "So I'll have to phone someone at the other end of the station to let them know I'm being mugged? That makes no sense."

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

Haha! It's funny because it assumes that a station agent would even lift a finger if you were mugged literally right in front of them.

it's too bad there's not a way to measure performance in jobs like this. because i feel bad for those losing their jobs, but not for the ones who are lazy, too quiet to hear, don't speak english, complete and utter assholes, or slow enough to make you miss your train if there's any sort of problem. truth be told these are the only ones that i've come across.
and @ Cautious Pessmist, I totally agree, they wouldn't do shit - but at least a mugger might think twice if there's somebody else in the room.
"i feel bad for those losing their jobs, but not for the ones who are lazy, too quiet to hear, don't speak english, complete and utter assholes, or slow enough to make you miss your train if there's any sort of problem."
I'll let the two people not in the above categories know.
There are certainly ways to measure performance in jobs like this. The problem is that unions ensure that performance is irrelevant, protecting lousy employees at the expense of everyone else, and destroying the incentive for otherwise motivated employees to continue to do good work.
they won't even lift a finger if you're being raped, ask that poor girl on the G train.
"So I'll have to phone someone at the other end of the station to let them know I'm being mugged? That makes no sense."
