Another good medic bites the dust...

Flight nurse

Pros

Waiting for your day to come to either be run out of the company by management, or fired, so you can collect unemployment - then sue.

Cons

Management cares nothing about their employees. One of the most experienced and best flight medics in Western NM finally quit, after they ran him out the door. Wrote him up for false 'occurrences', even though he had documentation to prove he did nothing wrong. Now the people in the local communities will suffer because the only medics left are inexperienced.

Pros

The Mission for the company is great. Saving lives is never a bad thing. The IT Team is extremely competent, and are some of the greatest people I have ever worked with.

Cons

This company could not care less about technology, modernizing, or coming into this century. They had 6 people supporting 5000 employees, and that will never change. And the CEO has made it abundantly clear that his employees mean far less than his bonus. So the departments that need the most help will never get the support that they need.
