Garage were they fix our cars. Do the names Dewey and Adam ring a bell. Let's just get to work. It's fair time guys we know what to do! Like the man says we can make them pay the next two weeks.

And how many lives will you endanger while your "making them pay" Figures coming from someone concerned with Dewey and Adam. They were both losers. Did you really know them???

Adin, Rusinski, Erin are totally useless. They are only concerned with firing people with seniority (greater then 6 months at this POS company) so they can fill medic cars with basics making minimum wage.
How many medics did we lose this year? 30+ How may are we gaining? 1!!!
When you have HR managers that treat people like crap what do you expect.
Medics, run to TCA or another real company before RMA dies and you are competting with 100 other people for limited jobs. RUN!!!!

We all may be wearing white shirts soon, Adin, Rusinski, Erin and the rest will go down with the ship.

Whatever color the shirts, can we please have educated management??? Is that really too much to ask for?

Hey heres an idea put Gary Bluhm in charge. He has battled many on the front lines in this here war on terror. He just might be the savior needed. And let Tony Murphy be his side kick.

Hey now, Tony Murphy and Matt Busch are our own Batman & Robin...or Ambigously Gay Duo!

Hey who knows, Tony Murphy may end up being GM of Rural/Metro someday soon

At least now we can get our junk fixed. Tony is my hero. Any one know what we gave away on Friday.

Hey Tony is smart! who else would think of it, stating the rig had bad brakes thats why he blew a stop sign, now who can argue that? our rigs have an average 400,000 miles on them

He's so smart he forgot to find out first when the brakes last had a complete overhaul!!!

Why would that matter? he took the rig out of service for two days

The rats start to bail from the sinking ship...

it may be an important job but when i always see rural metro and twin city vehicles parked in lots and at their own homes and these people work 60 hours and sleep on the job and get paid for that yet get all that overtime , there's something wrong- reality is most businesses really don't treat their people well and the way of the world is no ot and just be happy to have a job. regardless of whether you like the job or not be grateful to have it because there isn't much out there especially at a decent pay and benefits and people shouldn't live above their means- for many years now it has been said the average person will hold like 8 or 9 jobs in a lifetime- not 1 anymore like the old days- save when you can and don't just spend or buy the mansion based on your current salary because as we all know , especially today- you will not have that job for 30 years to pay it- get something more affordable and think about your future -times have changed and not for the best and we all live with that everyday and we want what we think we deserve and to care for our families but that's not businesses concern- you are a number and it's all about their bottom line

Ohhh yeah, and massa say pick mo cotton now hear!

Mee- Think why would these tca / rm vehicles be sitting in lots? Because the employees would rather be sitting in a truck then on a corner then some place better? The work 60+ hours a week because they have to! They are only making 9 bucks an hour. And sleeping on the job is where you get your rest when you have to work so many hours to make a living. And for the world is no OT think you should check with the companies. The schedule the employees for 12+ hr shifts. These employees would love to only put in an 8hr day. But the company needs to make it millions, and the higher ups need their bonus at the expense of the "uneducated retards" that work for them.[Quoted from a HR manager] The fact is they like treating people like crapp feeds their egos. Why else scream at employees, use profaine comments, threaten them, ect... I could go on & on here. The employees want a fair wage and professional management. The last part business concern, yeah but at their own expense and the bottom line might just be the end of their line. Because we always keep changing the management, three General Managers in three years? You do the math.......

We will all be in red and white ambulances soon. As the ship sinks so will the old managment. AMR is knocking on the door. But we did get a new rig last week and I heard we will be getting 6 more soon. Atleast that a move we havent had in years. Todd will get them when the doors close.

GO UNION!!!!

AMR - Rural / Metro, beasts of the same nature.
