Most city workers get great insurance benefits and pension plans at no extra cost. Couple this with the fact that it's nearly impossible to get fired when working for the city (even if you don't do dick), and i don't feel to sorry for them.
Maybe for other depts, but none of the above is true for HPD. I'd say our insurance and pension are pretty decent but they do come right off the top of our checks. Also, "nearly impossible to get fired"-WRONG. Not w/ HPD.
and there seems to be some misunderstanding on how OT works. there isnt unlimited OT that anyone can just start doing (except for court time). the vast majority of OT programs have limited funding and very few spots. thus, you have to know people and been on for a while. Also, as a matter of fact there are NO active OT for pay programs in the city at all right now. And most programs (like the ones i worked) are hard work and you put in 15-16 hr. days.
