If it's any consolation, we in EOC are as pissed off as the crews. We are being put in a position that we definitely do NOT want to be in. One of the documents which we in control were given states "crews are not to be ALLOWED to return to station EXCEPT fo a break". THis means that - in theory - I should not ALLOW you to return to collect Oxygen, Morphine, Salbutamol etc etc. In practice, you need these things to do your job (on the relatively few occasions you get a "real" job). I actually used to look forward to coming to work, as each - even in EOC - was different. No longer. We now have managers whose sole job appears to be to wind up staff (road and EOC), to the detriment of any semblance of a good working relationship. I have never ever - in my 13 years in this job - felt anything like as stressed, fed up, put upon and run ragged as I do now. I am seriously now thinking of leaving this job. The blame lies with Peter Bradley and his cohorts.
