Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Bus. It exists as certainly as Back stabbing and jealousy and gossip exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its tire tracks and heartaches.
A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, the bus will continue to leave tire tracks on hearts of adulthood.
Why is it in our line of work people feel the need to throw others under the bus? Are we not supposed to be a team and support each other? There is Drama Drama Drama rolling everywhere and no one tries to stop it. You have admin and supervisory people that encourage people to run and tell as opposed to stop and offer help. Maybe if people tried to help each other more often you would find the bus circling the center less and less, because things may have been done correctly the first time.
Why, when a trainee does not make it is the trainer blamed? This job is NOT easy and most people cannot do the multi tasking or handle the emotion stress that is caused from daily 911 calls. Being a training officer is stressful enough with out hearing whispers that your training was subpar or that you are a training Nazi. I don't know about your agencies, but in ours the training officers receive no incentive to train.
Why, when there is a dispatcher that is complimented others allow jealousy to step in? Just because a dispatcher has been complimented on an achievement or just a busy day done well we should not whisper and grumble about that achievement. We should recognize a job well done and be thrilled that someone was acknowledged! We work a hell of a job with little to no compliments be glad that someone actually got recognized!
We all have at least 1 person that is paranoid! Every whisper, every look, every visit to an admin office is about them. If you are not doing anything wrong quit worrying so damn much. The word may revolve around you, your family, or your friends at home however, here it is not all about you. Sorry to break it to you.
I will be sure to keep you all posted to the tire tracks I receive for posting this one. Someone is bound to think it is all about them.\
BEEP BEEP!!
