They must be insanely busy or pay like crap, or both...
...possibly some internal issues, and/ or politics as well? Lol, I have never heard of such a generous bonus without a catch, remarkable.

The minute you have kids, all of your priorities change. You stop really caring about stuff for yourself and you just take care of your kids and wife. It's an intrinsic thing that just takes over.

Yea my dad always says that too. Now he comes to Christmas with a bow on his head lol. Only thing I really buy for myself is a gun every year or 2. Fiancé got a car(kinda) for Christmas. I've already begun to spoil her :).

I've heard that Sunstar actually does have something of a "they'll find a reason to part ways amicably" tendency around 4 years in. Additionally, their base pay is only around $40,000 a year for most of their medics, and 35/5 = 7, so they're basically holding back $7k a year as an incentive to work long, hard and for lower wages (and at lower OT rates)

I failed the medic FTO process at Paramedics Plus Alameda County, CA. The pay was surprisingly very low in comparison to adjacent counties (I only got a $1,900 annual pay increase being a tier 2 step 1 medic there compared to a step 1 EMT at another nearby location). Although I failed the FTO process there, I quickly got hired at another company and went from $49k/year as a tier 2 step 1 at Paramedics Plus to $63k/year as step 1 medic at my current company. It looks like many companies around my area pay around $60k/year so Paramedics Plus pay was very low in comparison. Paramedics Plus Alameda County did have a nice $6-$7/hour night differential and you'd get paid a lot in miss code 7/meal break (two 30 minute meal break per shift, get paid one hour regular pay for every missed code 7). They were very good at paying for missed code 7s unlike other companies I've worked for. I really made a lot on missed code 7s alone. Paramedics Plus was an SSM system with no quarters, which I hated coming from a system with a lot of quarters.

I'm confused as to how exactly you're supposed to live in the Bay Area on 49k a year anywhere around Alameda County that isn't literally a tent or a closet.

Got a Littmann 3100 for Christmas. Really cool stethoscope and the ability to amplify sounds is awesome. Heart tones sound amazing. However it does seem a little fragile, we will see how it holds up.
