What kind of person fakes illness expressly so they don't have to help out during an actual disaster when their skills are needed? "Whenever I hear there's a fire, I tell my firefighter friends to take the battery out of their pager so they won't have to go fight the fire." I agree we owe these people better treatment than just mandating they work heroic hours, but this only makes things worse on those who comply with the mandate.
- genewitch 1y agoMy neighborhood and community is more important than the hospital; the friends i mentioned specifically are also radio operators, so they have more important things to do during a disaster than be a warm body at not that type of hospital. A sanitarium. The low-wage workers can get triple-time and take weeks off "later in the year" for covering the stop-loss, so they also benefit. I don't call fire fighters, because they are emergency responders. Please note i said what i do, not what i think other people should do. The people i tell this to are free to do with that information what they want, i don't demand it or anything. Consider this a contextual error on my part. It's more of an "inside baseball" snippet of conversation than anything that requires judgement.
