i work in emergency services (EMS specifically) and we get the most insane fucking work hours at least where i am. i was on 8:00 to 20:00 monday then tuesday i am on 20:00 to 8:00 and wednesday i am on 10:00 to 00:00 then thursday i am on from 8:00 to 17:00 then off friday and unknown if i am working this weekend yet

i dont physically know how your brain is supposed to function enough to not accidentally kill someone when you are working like that.

also i have to be 30 minutes early to check off the unit because those are just the hours i am actively available for 911 calls and each day i am on a different truck with an unknown crew before me so i cant even know that everything works when i get there.

and i am sick but cant call out because i took a covid/flu test and didnt test positive and no matter how sick i am unless i am rendered physically unable to work or test positive for one of those i cant call out

    honestly i already short my milages all i can without getting caught because they charge by the tenth of the mile typically i can cut it by at least a tenth maybe 2 to subtly undercharge the pt

      Get yourself some hangover bags for a rainy day, see how long you can ride in the breakdown lane before you pop a tire, talk to your coworkers about how much this sucks and how its all management’s fault. With Pt care be kind, its not their fault, its capitalism’s, and remember if it wasnt documented, it didnt happen as far as billing is concerned.
