Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and I am excited to find a group of fellow professionals like yourselves. A quick rundown on myself. Thirty seven, paramedic of fourteen years, employed all years at a private company that employs around four hundred field employees.
I love my job, but like any other, sometimes I don't like where I do it. My title "aggressor", was meant to be ironic, since I don't do things to patients "just because I can". I'm aggressive when need be.
I have a question for all you folks. In the last few years, our company has developed titles for our field superiors, such as Lieutenants, Captains, etc.
I was enlisted in the military, and there, those titles mean something special.
It seems that all of our ALS field supervisors have the Lt. title, but there is one particular employee, whom is BLS, with less that one year experience, that was given that title, and does her best to enforce it, no matter to whom.
I firmly believe that respect is earned, not given away. However, I also obey my superiors, but it does not mean I respect them.
My question to you is, was giving this one employee, (doesn't matter that she is bls, there are quite a few that are quite good), was a good idea for the moral of the regular bls and als field providers?
Thanks,
The aggressor
