General Discussion Unpopular Opinions In the Fire Service

I am curious what other peoples unpopular opinions of the fire service are? I know there are alot of things we are doing or trying to do to improve the fire service as far as training and wellness, but I also know alot of it is just not that great in my opinion.

This is mine because my department does 12s instead of 24s. If you don't cook together the young guy shouldn't have to touch your dishes. Cleam them yourself. The young guy is not your maid we are all adults. Also, if you're paid more you should be doing more work (not sure if this is unpopular or just me ranting).
