Who is getting insane pay? I'd like to go there.You are a fireman, right? (First of all, great job by the union to get the insane pay you guys get for the amount of work you do)
If you had the record for the most "saved" lives at your job and the record for the most "loss of lives" at your job, you would be fired, right? Or forced to retire, correct?
We start our firefighters at 46k.. and often don't get pay scale step increases. Is 46k too much money in your mind? I'm in my 8th year and work a crazy amount of overtime just to surpass 70k on the year.
We're also at the mercy of the people of the community 24 hours a day. We deal with screaming patients, psychopaths, death, and grieving families on the regular. And very often between the hours of midnight and 6am, which means we get dogsh*t sleep, in turn screwing with our home lives.
But go ahead and tell yourself we are overpaid, dickhead.
