BTW, this comment of yours doesn’t even make any sense:
“Car you are really failing here. The point wasn’t realtors working along the coast or in an expensive market it was ocean view or even palatial office space.”
…which you wrote in response to this:
“Do you have any evidence that the brokers require a higher percentage from agents who work in ocean-view offices vs. offices that overlook something more mundane (keeping all other variables the same, of course)?”
So…do you have any EVIDENCE showing that brokers keep a higher percentage from agents who work in ocean-view offices vs. offices that overlook something more mundane (keeping all other variables the same)?
………..
Just read your post again, too. No, firefighters do not hang out at work after hours, they do not drink margaritas on the deck (HELL NO…do you even know what you’re talking about?), and they often don’t want to work in the higher-profile stations that often attract politicians and their entourages as they “show off what they’ve done.” They work 24-hour shifts, sometimes for days on end (no, it’s not a perk…it’s often forced on them, often without notice), and desperately want to get home when their shift is over.
I honestly think you have weird, romanticized notions about what public sector workers do and what their job responsibilities, work environment, etc. are like. This might explain why (misplaced) envy seems to drive so many of your belligerent comments. You truly have no clue.
