Hot off the press

Well a new installment of the unofficial news of our workplace has hit the floor. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone want to talk about something they don't like? Let em know!

Open Post

Time for an open post. What's new? Watch bids come out 03August, power watches to return, any complaints? any congrats? (As always please no names)

What does he look like?

This post hopefully will get to the right person. You see it has been a few weeks now and well we were told we have a new boss. The papers call him the "acting." Well is he acting or is he our leader? Either way, he still hasn't introduced himself to all of us. Some of us have seen him once or twice, some not at all. The only time I've seen him was on tv when he told a large crowd that he wasn't happy with us and that the appropriate action will be taken, perhaps termination, well maybe not those exact words but pretty darn close. So Mr boss please look at it from our perspective, we haven't met you, you haven't come to our roll calls, we know nothing about you and the only thing we do now is that some of us feel like we are in a boat without a paddle, just when we thought we were headed in the right direction

What would you have done?

Well once again we are in the middle of chaos! OEMC has for the past 2 weeks been in the newspaper in some not so good articles. It is easy to say well I would of simulcasted that call, or I would not have given lunches out, or I would've put a backlog in the minute I sat down, but what it comes down to is NOBODY knows unless you are put in that situation. One thing is for certain, the 8th district is far too large for what they give us as far as cars to dispatch to. That district needs to be cut in half. At this point what is done is done and there is no way to go back and change what happened. But in the future please dispatchers, put those raps in asap, watch your p's and q's and here's a big one, make your cars go on the air with any transmission instead of that pdt. Like it was told at a roll call, you can party all you want with them, but in the end if a beef comes down, do you really think the guy on the other end of the radio has your back?

Summer halfway done

Well, it's over, another 4th of July survived at the OEMC. Any stories that you would like to share? Anyone think cancelling rdo's was a waste of money? Anyone think we still didn't have enough help? Please share...
