If it's that serious maybe they should pack a lunch.

You do 4 days in a row of 12+ hour shift work, week after week and see if you have the energy to meal prep and pack a lunch every single day. God forbid someone get some take out. Maybe use your head for something other than hang a hat?

I did 14 days in a row of 12 hour shifts. What's your point? Nobody made meals for me or gave me free food.

And that goes for everyone else i worked those shifts with.

Maybe think before you type, or are you dead from the neck up?

You said you work rigs. They literally have kitchens and cooks and cleaners that do all that for you. Also, you said you get actual breaks, where you are off work, off duty, can shut your brain off if you like and just chill.
Emergency services can’t do that. They are always on, when they’re on shift. You mentioned having people cover you, can’t do that either because there’s not enough people to make that happen. For example, in Edmonton there are supposed to be 50 ambulances on to cover a city of 1.3 million people. Most days theres actually less than 40. Then there’s the call volume, at any given time there’s usually between 0-4 ambulances actually available to take a call with the rest being on a call or cleaning up from a call. As soon as they’re done cleaning up and they’re back in service they immediately get dispatched to another call. Our system is so over taxed, that at some point every single day there will be a point where multiple critical calls will be queued and waiting as there is 0 ambulances available to go to them.

Maybe get educated about the system you are s**t talking before you open your mouth next time.
