Backstory: I'm a paramedic and started at a new ambulance company that had a bad reputation in the area. First day of work I found most of the medications on the ambulances and in the supply closet to be expired, some by nearly 2 years. There were boxes of hoarded medications in the closet that were put back on the truck when employees tried to remove them. Some had even crystallized. Supervisor kept saying he wasn't able to order the medications (but was somehow magically able to after the owner stepped in). Some of the pediatric equipment (including IV supplies) was 10+ years expired. No infant defibrillation pads. Rusty syringes. I can't even describe my horror. So, I spent the first few months purging it all and writing to the owner with another coworker to try and fix the issue.
But my direct supervisor is a hoarder and was upset that change had occurred and started lashing out at me. I finally had enough of it this week and quit and he sent me a text telling me that change has to happen slowly and that I shouldn't have come in and tried to change things that I thought were a problem. He told me it was still “salvageable” if I wanted to stay, and I said that I should have quit the first day I worked there.
Plus, full time is a minimum of 72 hours a week, only paid a real wage for 36 of those hours. I am so happy to be done.
