Cancelled for Maintenance

Almost every public/customer service industry is ran 24/7.  As convenient it is to us as a customer, there is always a group of people who get fucked out of their time off. In some cases, these overtime workdays are preventable.

Our special guest Bubbles, associate director of a non-profit organization that houses unfortunate youths, returns for a third time to share some of her stories of shift shortages and micro-management.

Nothing puts an organization on edge more than an inspection.  It’s never a good feeling having someone dig through your work life.  It’s around this time where management reinforces the policies and procedures of your organization, some of which you were never made aware of, nor were they enforced until now.  When your boss is awkwardly nice, and has that creepy smile, that’s when you know….

Special guest Bubbles, associate director of a non-profit organization for housing unfortunate youths, makes a return to share with us some of her stories of having to undergo surprise inspections and how simple steps can make them less painful. 

Inspections are part of the quality process to ensure products and/pr services are meeting the minimums and won't fail.  There are those however who wait until the last minute to prepare and/or correct any deficiencies. This poor practice can lead to lengthy audits, poor performance, a lack of morale, and incur more costs.

In some cases, the end justifies the means. It’s instances like this where most “get it done” actions are performed and get overlooked or waived. However, “one-time actions” slowly turn into the new normal which can spell disaster if it continues to be practiced.  No operation is worth continually glossing over procedures.

When major emergencies happen, they take to the sky.  We count on them to take those in critical condition to the nearest haven and be our eyes in the sky during major disasters.  They are the men and women of the aviation emergency services.  Life in the EMS/SAR community can be very demanding, but one thing is for sure…
