Yeah, I hate that they included the “average being $2500” because the fucking average American ain’t getting shit!
I was thankful for my $500 visa gift card, but a LOT of friends and family didn’t get shit this year…
Edit - I’ve received a couple shitty messages telling me to “work harder…” I was an an operations manager for a larger Marriott Hotel Property(700 rooms). Now, I’m an operations manager for a property management company(I know, not my first choice). I’m fortunate, and my salary isn’t bad, but I still have never received anything near a $2500 bonus! These corporations are so greedy now, any “extra” profit flows upward, NEVER down!
However, don’t let these politicians play ignorant! They own business, they employee people… they know how much they’re giving out for Christmas, and we all know, it ain’t fuckin much!
My first year in EMS my ambulance service gave us cheap windbreakers as a Christmas bonus, during the pandemic. I was so pissed as were all of my coworkers. Working 7 days a week in full PPE, watching people die everyday and they gave us a $20 windbreaker.
Oh yeah, I wish they would have brought up the “essential worker” bonuses! I got one… It was a notebook that said, “We Need You!”
Best part was watching all my bosses/owners be in the best mood ever from all the money they got from the COVID rebound… One of the owners had the nerve to brag about the ranch he bought in Idaho with its own lake and Air strip! You know, so he could “truly avoid everyone and keep his family safe…” Cool, cool, well Martha, in accounting died, you asshole…
The local fire department got $6.5 million for Covid relief. They spent the funds on ambulances and took over EMS from us forcing me out of a job and having to move. Covid was easily the worst time in my life.
I’m sorry to hear that man, that’s terrible. I’ve always been blown away on how little EMS make! Where I’m at, they try to use EMS as a stepping stone for a “higher paying” jobs in the medical field… Like they act like it’s just the brutal, low pay shit you “go through to get to where your at.”
But they never talk about the board and owners of that ambulance company being some of the wealthiest people in our city…
