Re: Interdepartmental relationships

[Guest guest]

It would probably be handled no differently in EMS than it would in any other

business. It is not unique to our work force. Why do we think we have the

market on interdepartmental relationships? They either work with diplomacy

and tact or they hang themselves. Usually the latter. We are all victims of

rage at some time or another and after an argument, one side will try and get

back at the other. At this time, one-half of the relationship will usually

spill the beans about something he or she is not supposed to be aware of or

squeal on the other for some small theft or lie they told and the whole

system falls apart trying to repair the damage done. But, I have been in

many lines of work before EMS and they are all the same. The sad part is the

some work places do not allow husband and wives to work in the same

department, but yet I could be dating 4 people in my department, under my

supervision and that is OK. You just have to work with it. There are no

easy answers and jealousy usually prevails.
