Teammates in Action: Britt Whitmire

This date of a notable action by Whitmire given of 2/23/2024 only comes to mind because it is the most recent date that Britt Whitmire worked overtime. That within itself may not sound special or unique. However, Mr. Whitmire routinely volunteers, signs up, or comes in when requested to help the agency whenever there is a staffing issue.

What makes this more extraordinary is that he worked at least 300 hours overtime just last year and over 400 for the year 2022. Britt is like the Cal Ripkin of Guilford Metro in the sense that he never misses work, and often he is found working on what should be his off days. He does this without complaint and is perhaps the most dependable employee in all of Guilford Metro.

It should also be mentioned that in addition to his dependability and reliability, he is very humorous and lightens the often times stressful atmosphere with his wittiness and observations. These things may not seem to some as "exemplary" or "outstanding," but anyone who works in a 9-1-1 center knows how valuable a colleague like Britt Whitmire is. While it may be easy to take for granted these qualities that Mr. Whitmire brings to the table, they truly make working for a 9-1-1 center much more bearable and much more enjoyable.

Mr. Whitmire is a rock star in every sense of the meaning for Guilford Metro, Greensboro NC.
