So is every cop and paramedic out there. People aren’t happy with that company and this kinda feels like propaganda haha

Edit: just to piggyback they can get near $200/hr while your local paramedics are making a fraction of that (~$22/hr for 911) and working every holiday/birthday/funeral, you name it. We need to reprioritize our system.

Tbf, I’m a firefighter emt in the state and I’m forced to work tonight, like I can’t leave and am held against my will. Jobs gotta run but I’m making about $35/hr tonight- ot rate.

$35/hr for an EMT/firefighter isn’t bad. I don’t believe an experienced ALS provider should make less than $40/hr regular(at the medic level).

Unless you’re a prisoner of the state you’re not being held against your will

I mean no one will physically restrain me from leaving work but if I did leave I would be placed on leave and then fired. Also could be held legally accountable for my actions.
