My point was, the city kicks you out the door at 60. Now we have to start a new career for 5 years to get to Medicare. How many employers are hiring 60 year olds?
How many Firefighters retire and then go to work for another City or Town and then garner another pension?
Leave high enough and your almost guaranteed another high paying job at state or local level.
Do you know the wear and tear on a body pushing a shopping cart thru Stop & Shop in your fire uniform? All the while the fire truck is parked in the fire lane out front. The loss of sleep from your shift if a call comes in. The worries when you need to find someone to cover your shift and so they can receive overtime pay and then you can sell the extra sick pay time back. Yeah there is about 2 dozen fires a year that have to be covered. Accidents and some crime scenes. But that's what should be expected. The city is failing at an alarming rate in so many aspects. It does not matter who is in office the damage is done. People are leaving, kids are pulled from the public schools. Nothing will ever change. The unions will control the leaders who they help elect. Ask any cop and they all say they should have been a firefighter.
