Any idea where I can find more on that?

I work in a district that covers a pretty large geographical area that includes 2 cities. We have 9 stations. Most of the time you stay at your station the entire 48 hour shift. Sometimes they move people for day 2, and on rare occasions there will be other moves if there's something special going on.

We had some dudes put in for reimbursement for the moves and a BC shot them shade saying one move day 1 to day 2 isn't anything to put in for. He said moving more than once, or moving and then moving back would be covered but that it is a Cheesy thing to put in for.

I've always disagreed but it hasn't really effected me in my career much. Newer guys tend to be "rovers" and some of them do get moved a couple times a shift.

Those are the BC's that hate the management aspect of that job but promoted into it anyways. Then they hold a grudge against anyone that causes them to sign another form or click a box on the staffing website.

The ones I've seen like that are always the hometown guys that see their families tax dollars in the dept. budget.
