I found three people who might be able to afford Trumpcare

Three Los Angeles City Firefighters Earn Combined $1.4M

Three Los Angeles City Firefighters Top State Employee Salary List, Earning Combined $1.4 Million

But they are heroes.

 

If it saves one strip mall, it's all worth it.

 

Don't worry... these are just one-offs....
oh no, they aren't. The employees retire approximating their last year's salary

 

Story says 72 percent of the pay is OT. Seems like that's more California's fault that it can't staff the department correctly. Are we now against overtime around here?

 

Its a scam.
Thompson has been appearing on overtime lists for years. A Los Angeles Times article from 1996 lists him as a top overtime earner. In 2009, the Los Angeles Daily News identified him as a top overtime earner for the year 2008.

 

OK, still the state's fault for allowing it to happen. Have you called Sacramento?

 

Are you saying it's a scam that he gets the OT or are you saying there really is no OT?

 

We see articles like this all of the time. When it happens year after year after year they are either allowing it to happen because the guys getting OT want to continue to get it, or that the people who are in charge of hiring can't do their job properly.

 

It is real OT.

 

Hasn't been any o_t around these parts for months.

 

So why is the fault of the employees who are getting extra money? Seems to me they are taking advantage of the state's stupidity. You should be mad at the state you live in, not all firefighters.

 

You mean the people bought and paid for by the public employee's union? Excellent idea!
