So questions are often raised about what you look for in an employer, but I was talking about my experiences with a former coworker of mine, and the topic came of when I decided I was going to look for another job.
We, in EMS, can often tolerate a lot (poor equipment, restrictive protocols, low pay, etc), for various reasons, but what are your deal breakers?
For example, at my previous non-EMS job, the day my boss started changing my schedule with no prior notice, I knew it was time to find something better (because the new hours and days conflicted with my prior commitments to teach at the local community college)
When I left NJ, it was a combination of my boss telling me I was never going to be able to switch from 5 years of night shift to day shift, and the realization that I would never be promoted to a supervisory position, because I can't be a "yes man."
Does anyone else have deal breakers that would get them to leave their current EMS job, assuming you are happy or happyish there?
