- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- THE TOP ISSUES FACING THE FDNYEMS IS THAT FOR WHAT WE DO WE ARE EXTREMLY UNDER PAID AND APPERCIATED BY BOTH THE HEADS OF THE DEPARTMENT AND THE PUBLIC. WE SAVE LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. BUT UNFORTUNATELY I AM GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE THIS JOB. THERE'S NO MONEY IN THIS JOB AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE WORKING FOR THE CITY YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE ANY WHERE IN THAT CITY AND WORKING HERE YOU WILL BE HOMELESS. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS JOB FOR THAT REASON......SORRY WE HAVE FAMLIES TOO AND NEED TO LIVE
