Im Schedule B, forced to work Schedule A
Using an anonymous account for this one because not sure who actually reads this
Im a new engineer and im assigned to work schedule B. However Im often being sent to work at schedule A stations. Because of the new 66 hour schedule there are days where we are extra on engineers so they send the extra guy to another station. I wouldn't really care except they send me to schedule A stations where I am well outside my comfort level. I have worked schedule B and handcrew my whole time as a firefighter and I have no interest in working in schedule A. Ive tried to explain to my supervisors that I dont want to work schedule A but usually I get the response of "dont worry youll do fine" and "it will be good for you," etc. I know the basics of driving and pumping the schedule A engines but I am just not confortable or well versed in schedule A. I am getting the feeling that the schedule A people at the station are starting to dislike me too, they can probably sense I dont want to be there. Not sure what to do, any advice?
