CAR, mismanagement in an administrative sense, not a they don’t get it done sense.
By more right, I meant, if you’re right and I’m wrong on the hours, than that outliers is 4652 hours verus lower (i.e $25/hr versus $30something/hr, IOW, more hours to make that money. If the rate is as you point out ~$25/hr.
If you’re right, a Fire Fighter II at max makes $21/hr. (that concerns me, far too low). If you’re right, then 30% of Fire Figher IIs are working nearly or more than 4000 hours a year. That’s more than $90K with the $63K being for 2904 hours plus 1.5X one everything else. The outliers are working 4900 and 5200 hours. 5200 hours is two and half full time jobs (obviously some other multiplier is kicking and it’s not 5200 hours)
That is a management problem. A manager and organization cannot run 1/3rd of the team for 4000 hours a year, let alone year after year.
I see lower income people struggling with two or three part time jobs or two full time jobs or a job and a half. They’re stressed, they’re fatigued.
