    an LT got fired over this.

    We tried to use this as a training tool and let him stumble his way to victory... no go. fired. He's now the assistant to an assistant in the ops section.

    Not so much.... he wouldn't appreciate that. He'd laugh, but then he'd punch me in the chest or something.

    hahahahaha We've got one of those too. You basically need to treat them like Milton from Office Space: Move their desk into the basement and don't let them get in the way of real work.

    I'm pretty torn about this. I don't really believe in the 'zero defect' mentality. If someone makes a mistake, let's see ho they work themself out of it. Let's see their reaction. Same level as letting a MLB pitcher work his way out of a bad inning. Everyone here is so quick to fire people. Think of the mentoring opportunity that just got lost.

    On the other hand, though. He's a LT. I never made a mistake that bad, and I've had a couple WTH moments.....

    Count your blessings folks. My wife text'd me earlier they lost a little one today and nearly lost the mom. We always feel so bad for the families when this happens.

    She will be a wreck tonight after she gets home. I was gonna run out and get her some flowers and make dinner, but now a damn client has me stuck on the phone.

    She quit being a paramedic many years ago when she couldn't take the horrid things she saw done to children, both accidentally and purposely, but losing a little one at birth also tears her up.
