Informal letters...

I have often wondered if someone really told management about what they thought of them in a letter of resignation what it would be like or what it would sound like. I played with this a bit and wrote this about 1 month ago. I put some thought into it, I put myself into the place of one of those employees who gets ticked off by everything and don't care who hears them yelling or ranting about it. So here goes, it is kind of in poem form.



Attention Management:
  • Attention Management, I won't be coming back to on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or EVER!
  • Attention Management, I have had enough of your micro management
  • Attention Management, I am not working for the pennies a day anymore!
  • Attention Management, I love the way each year you raise my insurance and cut the benefits
  • Attention Management: I love the way our pay is below the National Average!
  • Attention Management: Just because I don't see you doesn't mean you can't leave a note saying you appreciate me.
  • Attention Management: I love seeing your budget and profits in the papers, at least the money is going into someone's pocket.
  • Attention Management: I won't be available to work any Holidays, Family reunions, and other days you always want to schedule me for.
  • Attention Management: I refuse to work anymore holidays on regular pay.
  • Attention Management: My new job pays me on regular time what it took me overtime to accomplish here.
  • Attention Management: Thanks for the wonderful equipment, which keeps you from being sued by the insurance company.
  • Attention Management: Don't call me when you refused to hire extra staff.
  • Attention Management: I really appreciate how you schedule training when I am not available, then complain when I miss it.
  • Attention Management: Thanks for deducting that "lunch" from my check when I don't get to take it.
  • Attention Management: Thanks for the uniforms you gave me when I started (that one set) and then charged me marked up costs for the rest
  • Attention Management: Thanks for giving me a job which pays below the poverty level, so I can obtain food stamps and Medicaid
  • Attention Management: Thanks for pushing me into depression , then not having insurance coverage for psychiatric treatments
  • Attention Management: Thanks for turning down my vacation request every time, now you have to pay for 3 months of vacation.
  • Attention Management: Thanks for meeting the federal guidelines, that we know we won't be using unless "they" ask.
  • Attention Management: Thanks for paying me, considering I was able to keep my pay to work ration equal by sleeping 2-3 hours per shift
  • Attention Management: I saw the papers showing your salaries, Nice to know you share the wealth, considering you do less work.
  • Attention Management: You have the only business of this sort here, but that doesn't mean I can't go elsewhere.
  • Attention Management: I am happy to inform you that I have found that McDonald's employees have better benefits, at a cheaper price and make more yearly then I do. Congratulations!
  • Attention Management: Find another sucker. SO Long... You are going to miss me when I'm GONE!

Year gone

Another year approaching the threshold entering new explorations, new challenges, the same game.  Coworkers have came and went a few more than normal this past year and likely more  any day now.  I am starting to think more like a go with the flow person and less with a complainer attitude. I won't say this year was easy, there were many 12 hour shifts and shift coverages due to long term illness and resignations.  Nearing 10 years in the seat behind the headset and at times I feel unwanted, unrespected.  Then a day comes up where my officers thank me or have a discussion with me about nothing.  But it shows they are people to who maybe forget dispatchers need asked if they are ok too.

Fall

It seems as the temperatures start to change, so do attitudes among co-workers.  Its almost like the cooler weather triggers animosity.  The simplest of things can trigger someone.  Lately things have been kind of that way anyways.  We were in the process of training one new dispatcher, and he was not quite up to par, and it seemed like everything resulted in a review of how he was handling things, from trying to field calls himself, to just down right ignoring important details from callers.  Then at at some point he decided to quit, as we were just barely ready to release the trainee who was hired before him.   So now we are short staffed again, as such as been the norm for about the last 2 years off and on.  I don't think administration has anything to do with it. Eh, well I actually do.   The past year we have seen a major shakeup.  We saw not only a change of leadership in the agency, we also experienced changes of leadership o...

The Start of something?

I often have wondered if I could ever have the ability to write, or compose something. I can run on once I get to typing and it just comes easy since typing class in high school. I don't know how fast I type anymore but I could do up to 30-40 words a minute back then or faster. I am starting this blog to kinda show my life and log things that happen. I won't use any names or locations as that wouldn't be allowed by state/federal laws. I will do my best to keep the details together but sometimes they might sound totally crazy but it does happen. I work in EMS things are always crazy. Nothing goes totally as planned, nothing happens when you want it to, nothing is worth really going on about. I have been in EMS several years now and work in a mostly rural area with under 25,000 citizens. I never intended to stay in EMS let alone have a job in EMS. It was accidental. I hope you enjoy my life and stories and maybe get a laugh or two a week. Come again and I hope yo...
