Sometimes reading Dispatch Magazine and seeing all the dispatchers that are fired or forced to take time off etc, just frustrates me. It’s feels like we are not allowed to be human. We must always perform above and beyond, always without fallibility. Sometimes, it is sad to see such harshness handed down. It is a hard profession to be in because people are so quick to see what we did wrong yet all the good we do is just swept under the rug and considered how it should always be, not that that isn’t our hope as well.

There has to be more to it. I can’t believe that would be the only reason that dispatcher would get fired. Especially if there were other calls on the same call. And why didn’t they put it in as a common place? There has to be more to it.

By all means, fire the dispatcher. Sheesh. Kind of a knee-jerk reaction. S/he will get their job back after union appeal. Typical management scapegoating.
