Firefighter "cash-for-shifts" epidemic: deleted by mods edition

DID YOU KNOW THAT BASKETBALL WAS INVENTED BY A SCOT
As was fried chicken.

Isn't there a roll call or check if there's an actual attendance for a pay?

Aren't firefighters salaried though?

Sounds more like Frank is also officially on the clock while clocking in for Joe.

Yes it's usually started by homeless bums or drug farmers. Most of which are spics. However, the fires grow to such massive sizes because (((climate change))) means that dread brush and trees cannot be cleared or control burned.

A system that lets Boston firefighters swap shifts has turned into a costly free-for-all. Some barely work for years and never make up the time. The city does almost nothing about it.

One firefighter, Gregory L. Burton, owes his firehouse comrades 554 shifts — nearly three years of work — for shifts he borrowed over five years while he was tending to a successful real estate business, according to department records. In 2004, for instance, Burton had other firefighters work 124 shifts for him, while Burton himself worked just 34 scheduled tours.

Timothy P. O’Callaghan, another firefighter with outside business interests, has filed for his pension based on years of service. That means he would receive credit for 391 shifts — about two years work — that others worked in his stead, and which he did not repay, according to Fire Department personnel records.

Nearly 70 other firefighters owe comrades between three months and a year of workdays.

… many firefighters have received pay, benefits, and retirement credits for work performed by others.

Taking time for second job
Burton, for many department officials, was Exhibit A.

Burton, who is still president of his own Boston real estate company, said in an interview that business was so good that over time, he had six other firefighters working for him as brokers.

In 2004, for example, Burton worked just 13 day shifts because of his business commitment; and 21 overnight shifts. Other firefighters filled in for him on 124 shifts. Not once that year did Burton reciprocate. The following year, he borrowed 145 shifts, and worked just four in return.

O’Callaghan, who was developing properties in Dorchester, relied on others to work his day shifts for him. In 2005, for example, O’Callaghan worked just two day shifts, while his peers worked his shifts 96 times. In return, he worked just nine overnight shifts.

The firefighter who owes the most shifts since 2006 is Kenneth T. Gibson, at 202, according to the records. Overall, Gibson owes the equivalent of a year’s worth of shifts that he said he borrowed from four or five colleagues. He declined to identify any of them and the department does not keep track of who owes whom.

Gibson is in the hole to others for time spent pursuing two outside interests. According to Federal Aviation Administration records, Gibson is rated as a commercial pilot and multi-engine flight instructor. Corporate records list him as president of a Rhode Island-based aviation company.

And last May, Gibson received a master’s degree in business administration from Northeastern University.

“This was the only way I was able to go to graduate school,’’ Gibson said in explaining how it is that others have worked so many shifts for him. “I used this practice to go to school.’’ The system, he asserted, “was wide open. . . . There has never been any limit to the amount of time you could owe.’’

When Burton resigned in 2007, Fraser said, “he was the number one offender. We called him in to talk, to tell him to stop. It was alleged he was running a real estate empire. It was alleged he was paying people to work his shifts.’’

Last March, with the housing market in dire straits, Burton asked to be rehired and Fraser agreed. The firefighter, Fraser said, “came to understand the error of his ways. . . . He missed working for the department, and it’s a great place to work. He asked to come back. We had many a long discussion with him about what we expect, what our expected behavior was, and I gave him a chance.’’

And what about the days of work Burton owed his colleagues when he left in 2007? According to Fraser, that obligation was officially erased when Burton resigned. By that standard, Burton owes only two shifts he borrowed last year.

Asked whether the firefighters who are owed those 554 shifts have any recourse, Fraser said, “That’s [for] any firefighters he may have owed . . . to discuss with him.’’

In Canada the fire men will probably save your life because they showed up 20 minutes before the paramedics

I was gonna let this slide, but what can I say, Kek wills it. Yeah, I hear about this type of shit all the time, like cops and administration being paid over $100k to be 'on call' but who haven't actually been on duty for years in a row. Eventually the truth will out because communication technology is increasing so rapidly, and people will have a shit fit, and rightly so. I wonder what would happen if something allowed actual mental connections between people. I wonder what kind of monsters we'd see in the mirror. And I wonder who would really be shown to be a good person. Eh, its all speculation at this point

based fireys pwning the govt

I’m fine with this.

Better for it to be firefighters than for the money to go to Shermika and her 8 niglets.

CALIFORNIA. Nuff said

im not worried about it beyond fapping to degenerate porn on occasion. some people are really evil beings that get off on others misery.

Only problem is they won't cut a single dime from her benefits under any circumstance. So everything else will be up on the chopping block, including this case.

You asked this last thread aswell.
Kinda shows the state of 8pol these days.

90% of jobs are bullshitting. Automation just exposes this. It makes the idea of what actually is the economy even more esoteric.

How do I know this is a nigger?

Firing useless bureaucrats that allow shit like this to happen should be your priority tbh fam, just look at the public school system, every single election year they demand more and more money, and each year school standards fall and get shittier at worse and maintaining mediocrity despite 4 figure increases in spending per pupil at best, you can fire all the teachers you want, you still have all this (((faculty))) that exists in school districts that sit on their ass all day and arent even pretending theyre responsible for something

Lol. I called it. The lack of foresight, or just terrible math skills, gave his niggerdom away.

Wew, lad.

In most parts of California, urban fire departments require you to eventually get your paramedic cert because it's just administratively easier to have everybody qualified to run the medic unit. It usually carries an extra 9% base pay, too, so everybody is happy to do it. The alternative is a monkey from AMR or another, even shittier private company handles your ambulance transport. In that case, have fun paying $10,000 for a 2-mile ride when you have chest pain.

For the record, the busiest medic unit in the world is LAFD Medic 31, the part of the department that covers Skid Row. So there's a ton of money pouring down the drain rescuing niggers and spics and degenerate whites dying of overdoses.

Forest fires have absolutely zilch to do with the job of urban firefighter. Nothing. They aren't even similar jobs, though a lot of new EMTs go to work for CalFire because it's good pay and they think it's going to give them a leg up into urban firefighting, which it assuredly will not. Completely different jobs, lad.

The fires start, in California at least, because PG&E is so broke from paying its last multimillion-dollar lawsuit that it can't afford to replace its infrastructure, triggering the next multimillion-dollar lawsuit. This is great for lawyers, but it's ruinously expensive for everybody else. The overgrowth issue isn't really a problem in most areas, despite the horseshit you hear on TalmudVision, because all the forest management in the world won't force the retired fucking Boomerfags to get off their asses and clear a fucking fire break around their $3 million villas in the scenic woodlands. Lazy cunts will hire Mexicans to manicure every twig in their topiary, but won't pay a couple grand to a team of white men to chainsaw their faggot weeping willows on the property line.

Surprise, surprise, the whole thing goes up in smoke and – this is an absolutely true story from my personal experience – a retired anthropologist sues PG&E for the "cash value" of his collection of dried lizards. Fucker was demanding $1 million for his destroyed iguanas and geckos.

You want California to not burn the fuck to the ground every two years? First of all, why not?, and second, kill the kike lawyers who've created an incentive to be victimized by fire for the insurance and class action suits.

yes please on more california burning down every two years. perhaps on “take urban youth to the woods day”

wew lad my uncle is a firefighter and many municipalities because they do fuck all most of the time actually send trucks and people to help with the wildfires, they get state money for doing that.

Next time can you try being more of a faggot when you post? I don't think your post reflects just how much you like taking it up the ass.

Nigger, you can literally see the trucks commuting down I-5 every few years when the fires get really big.

PG&E wasn't found at fault for the last few. The rest were started by homeless people passing out after cooking their heroin over camp fires. Also I suspect terrorism but you'll never hear that information leaked.

The state used to send nigger prisoners up into the hills to clear fire lines wherever they could. They don't do that anymore because kike lawyers decided that's inhumane or something.

I actually do. The fires never affect me personally so I really don't care about them.

I agree, hopefully they start with you.
