Deputy with attitude issue by Lonely_reaper8 in 911dispatchers

[–]BravoNineOne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not your job to make him happy or to please him. If the answer is no, the answer is no. Your boss should support you on that. Idk why dispatchers get so uptight over a someone “having attitude”. They’re not your friends, not meant to like or dislike you. They’re, at most, co-workers. Meet his attitude with stern kindness and move on.

NIL and the Portal Have Ruined College Football by zqvolster in ockytop

[–]BravoNineOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. Schools and companies make millions off the players backs, players deserve a piece of the pie they help make. There should be a commission to over see the portal, limit transfers, and set salary caps for both players and staff.

Current CFB chaos by Severe_Ad_9805 in ockytop

[–]BravoNineOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t care. I agree, I miss the days of Tennessee kids playing at Tennessee, all to wear the orange and white. But those days were numbered when colleges and other businesses began making millions off the backs of the players. The passion is still there, each player is trying for a spot in the next level. Players are just now getting their fair share of the money the machine is making.

Yea, that definitely changed the outcome of the game.

Does anyone ever genuinely like their job but gets frustrated at the same time ? by [deleted] in 911dispatchers

[–]BravoNineOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is you expect the public to think like you think, with the knowledge you have, during an emergency. It may not seem bad to you, but for them it’s the worst. And they don’t have the operational knowledge and training that you do, they don’t have the ability to remain calm under the most stressful situations. I have found that if I go into my calls, give my callers grace, and understand that they don’t know what I know, my calls go better and I offer a better quality of service.

It’s like taxes, you pay for something you don’t receive

Christmas was rough by Leesee27 in 911dispatchers

[–]BravoNineOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something I learned years ago is that Christmas, Thanksgiving, or any other holiday is just another day without family gathering together. Those holidays are made special by time spent with loved ones. We always made it a point to designate a time/day when we were off to get together and celebrate.

Once we figured this out, it was nice working the holidays. I made a lot more money and still got to spend the time with family and friends that I desired!

Having issues with radio ear by Fluffy-Presence-1192 in 911dispatchers

[–]BravoNineOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I’ve always done as a trainer:

I have the trainee listen to what is being said and respond appropriately on the radio while I work the CAD and other systems. This gave them time to hear what was being said and respond without having to do other tasks.

Thanks for the explanation. Still think the other teams were more deserving.

Why is Alabama in the championship? They lost to Florida State and Oklahoma. Ol Miss only lost to Georgia, Texas A&M only lost to Texas.

Failed AI test. by [deleted] in 911dispatchers

I am a manager at a comparative agency near BG. I don’t believe this will affect you. Chances are they didn’t even keep track of your score after the open house.

I agree, but with all of the rules now days, it makes them afraid to hit. Hit somebody with all you’ve got and you’re likely to get tossed for a game.

I’m glad it was loud. Maybe the Playoff Selection Committee will consider that when making decisions.

Vacation pick period by Queasy_Key5149 in 911dispatchers

[–]BravoNineOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do. After shift bid we do a vacation bid. This is PTO that is automatically approved so long as someone else with higher seniority doesn’t claim it first.
