FU to the FDNY

[JimmyBlueEyes]

As I have stated earlier, I'm supposed to be getting promoted to Supervising Dispatcher. Well, it turns out that the promotion is coming down on Monday. This means I have to cancel a trip I planned to Myrtle Beach with my girlfriend. A trip I have been planning for the last two and a half months.

Apparently, upper management in my bureau has decided that the morale of the people that work for them means little or nothing. I'm not the only one who is getting promoted that had plans for next week. The job itself is pretty thankless, you get nothing but shit from your subordinates and you get nothing but shit from those above you. If I turn down the promotion I will be shooting myself in the foot by losing seniority to the others, and if I take the promotion, I am stepping on a landmine. Either way I am fucked. What bothers me more is I am letting down my girlfriend. Who took time off from work that she can't get back.

My management is like Nero, who fiddled while Rome burned. The job is a sinking ship and they have done no damage control. They kiss the asses of the uniformed fire personnel, while putting a boot in the asses of those they command. They wonder why sick leave is so high?? Look no further than the mirror. They wonder why people hate coming to work?? It's because they make it miserable for everyone else. I could go on but I'm wasting my breath....so in closing FUCK YOU to the self proclaimed best fire department in the world.

You have to actually be present somewhere to receive the promotion?

Can't they just put the extra money in your paycheck and drop a letter in your inbox?

He can't be THAT stupid.

Laz, thank you for the laugh. Sloats I am actually that stupid, the cheddar ain't worth the BS. Sil, I wish I could have that happen, but it's all a swearing in ceremony and blah blah blah. Laz, you would have to come and see what it's all about to understand why I bitch.

You stand in starched thick wool dress outfits around under the pounding sun for 2 hours while mayor bloomberg lisps away and spins a tangent of the Fire Department into some unrelated political issue?

I wish...it's sign here, sign here, congrats...

[BITENY]

So this means that you can't just go to myrtle beach after the stupid ceremony?

[Black Lazerus]

you can't return/exchange Jet blue tickets

[JimmyBlueEyes]

I'm driving....or I was driving...I only fly if it's a cross country type thing. No, cause I have to go to orientation classes for a week.
