I’m an EMT. I’m job hunting and interviewing out of state because I plan on moving soon. I was making $27/hr as a medical assistant at my last job, but thought I’d get back into first responding/transport.
Walked into the interview, the guy immediately starting talking about how they hire absolutely employees from another ems company because they hate said ems company. Then he preceded to tell me that he just got finished firing a new guy on the spot for dinging a mirror.
Did not ask me any questions about myself or my experiences, spent 30 minutes talking about how much their company makes, then asks me if I’d be okay with $14/hr. I asked for $16 and then he brought it down to $13.75. The job listing stated $17-$23. I laughed and told him I’d probably fair better at McDonald’s.
Poverty wages are unacceptable. Capitalism has gotten out of hand.
