People it is your primary responsibility to make sure that you and you alone are safe and operating within your documented policies and procedures.

Happy Ash Wednesday! We hope your Fat Tuesday was all it needed to be. Today we're piggy-backing off of last week's intro to the Normalization of Deviance. People, standards are important and they should be exceeded not deviated from. Excellence and safety is what we essentials strive for. Cole & Reed go more in depth on the topic and the things to look out for and be sure to tune in next Wednesday for the conclusion of this topic.

Welcome to the Unhinged Essentials Podcast. Today is Wednesday, February 11th, 2026 and today, Cole & Reed and tackling the Normalization of Deviance. If you've spent more than five minutes in any area of the Essential's work world, you've seen this. What is Normalization of Deviance? It is "the dangerous organizational process where departing from established safety rules or standards becomes accepted practice over time, often because no immediate negative consequences occur." In other words, "but did you (or anyone) die?" As of today we're seeing massive walk-outs in the nursing, firefighting, and EMS world, all because standards are being lowered and called acceptable, regardless of safety, simply because there's no catastrophe. Are you kidding me? No, no we're not. This is the new thing and 2026 is your year to stand up for yourself, your team and your community.

We hope this strikes a chord. Let us know what you think and what's going on in your world. Cole & Reed promise to keep tackling this subject, most likely for the rest of the month.

Your safety is paramount and if your higher-ups aren't going to make that a priority, its time for them to go!

As always, stay feral, stay unhinged. You're essential and we love you! Hugs, cuddles and kisses!
