YOU WENT TO EAT 2 TIMES???!!!Well... we finally had it out with each other last shift. Tension had been rising... the other crew had been smarting off to us... and having a bad attitude towards us for a while now... and since it's just us and them working at the station now it was starting to create an atomosphere that was making it stressful to come to work and deal with every shift. Both me and my partner are not from the city we work in, but everyone else that works there is. So we don't know everyone as well and aren't as good friends... since me and him have both only been working there for about 8 months now, versus the years everyone else has... so we're both new trying to get along. Well, we talked to the crew we were relieving the shift before last about the problems we were having with the crew we worked with. They agreed that we weren't the only ones that had the problem, that basically everyone at the station felt the same way. So the guy we talked to about it went and told them that they're making our lives at work miserable and they need to lay off before they run us off. The one guy from our shift said "Good... I'm glad that bug I put in their ear is working(talking about telling my partner there was an opening elsewhere)" he went and told his partner that we were saying they're dodging calls and etc... and his partner said "It wouldn't hurt my feelings none if they were gone." So after that... later on that day I noticed the guy that's stirring all this trouble around is in the supervisor's office... which leads me up to last shift. We walk in to relieve the crew and I'm told that that guy had been in the supervisor's office claiming we were dodging calls, "hiding behind mcdonalds" "going to eat 2 times at the same restaurant in one shift" when we went on out of town transfers... staying at the hospital to long ... and so on and so forth... so the supervisor laughs in his face and said we've done nothing wrong... and in fact he heard that they were the ones dodging calls. So EVERY other crew working in the station goes in and tells the supervisor that we do a good job, takes up for us, and tells them everything they know of, that that crew has done. So a few mins later they come on shift... and we start having a "heart to heart" which includes yelling and cussing (not done by me or the other basic, but by the paramedics) about everything that was told to the supervisor. The other paramedic accused us of dodging calls, screwing around, and causing problems with the system. We quickly pointed out that we've done nothing wrong... and we'll continue doing what we're doing... We hadn't ever dodged a call, infact we had helped the other crew out more than once in taking their calls late at nights when they were tired, or at other times. So it was completely ridiculous that this childish thing had to happen. It caused a lot of problems. The other crew both apologized to us... but there's still that tension there... that you can't trust them anymore after what they said and done to us... and I don't think it'll be the same for a while. I just can't get over the fact that they said something as stupid to a supervisor as "They go and eat to times at the same place" We do go to eat at this same place when we do an out of town transfer, but we call in our order leaving the hospital, swing by and pick it up, my partner eats in the ambulance, and I eat it when we get back to the station... how does that put a strain on the system? The funny thing is... everything they said we do...they're the ones that actually do it, and the supervisor was made aware of that once they tried to rat us out, by every other crew that works there. So the supervisor said we're in the clear, and he's going to go down hard on the other guys if they keep this up. I'm an easy going person and I try to get along with everyone... but I don't appreciate what they tried to do to us... and I don't like working in a bad atmosphere when things are stressful enough from losing a truck. I enjoy my job and I enjoy running calls... but it's so irritating working with a crew that doesn't and is always jumping on Posting assignments to avoid calls, and worrying about who is up next.
