Exactly 10:36, I bet a friend of the mayor gets the job

@10:36 that's EVERY job that they create for their buddies. I still can't get over the position DAY created for the jerk Tom Stevenson. The guy was incompetent to fulfill the duties required in every job he was given by tilghman and Ireton. He should have been fired when he got in caught have sexual relationship with a married city department head

What? The four horsemen of the volunteer apocalypse(Day,Tull,Gladwell and Scott) are posting a job opening for a volunteer recruiter. They have been in the process of killing off the volunteers in Salisbury and attempting to make Salisbury an all career department. I guess they are attempting to backdoor a new firefighter to the roster. Shame on these idiots. Just ask the volunteers at all 3 stations. They are being phased out. What a joke but this is Salisbury.

Jake Day has been hostile to volunteers and now he finds out he needs them

Ask Ocean City how this worked for them. Total waste of money

This is nothing but another ploy to hire one more paid fireman when all the while crime is still escalating in this Fkg Ghetto! When the Hell was the last time they hired another police officer? This will be the 25th paid firefighter that Jake Day and Jim Ireton has hired in the last 5 year.

That's right folks, 25 paid firemen when there is rarely a fire in this city! So what are they going to be needing next, a bigger fire station so they can put more recliners in the lounge and beds in the bunk room??

Yep, your paid firemen have the best jobs in Salisbury. Where else do you get to work a 24-hour shift, ride around all day and go to Wawa for breaks, 3 different locations for lunch for the firemen and to Acme to park around the North side of the building to hide the fire truck while shopping for dinner. Where else do you get to take naps in the recliners throughout the day and sleep in a comfy lounge at night and then get 3 days off to work another full-time job? No wonder those paid firemen have the nicest new cars and trucks, boats, motorcycles and nice homes! Many of us in Salisbury are barely living paycheck to paycheck while these clowns have gravy train jobs!

Don't forget, Jake Day is doing great things for Salisbury!

Nope, wrong answer. He doesn't need them. This is just a ploy to hire another paid fireman. If he thought he needed volunteers you would see commercials on TV and large billboards all over Salisbury advertising and recruiting volunteers.

Don't fall for this Bull$hit!

Not hardly. Jake Day got rid of the volunteers from Station 1 and removed their corporation from the city charter so you really think that Jake Day wants volunteers now after hiring 2 dozen paid firemen? NO! All 3 volunteer stations are now 100% filled with paid firemen and there is a Chief, 2 paid deputy chiefs and 1 volunteer deputy chiefs as well as multiple Captains and Lieutenants. There are also 8 paid firemen on the Admin side that work every day and hold the rank of Captain or higher. So do you really think that Jake Day needs volunteers now as long as the taxpayers are footing the bill and not complaining? Not hardly!!

Why can't that lazy a$$ volunteer Deputy Chief be the "Volunteer Recruitment Coordinator?" After all, he is getting a new chief's car to ride around in and all the free gas that he wants and he never ever gets to a call as the first officer on scene and establishes command(Hint: he is scared and incompetent). At least the take-home car and gas would be compensation for "recruiting" volunteers. I might be more receptive of this position if it didn't require being a "Firefighter I" with a degree. What this tells me is that Jake Day and John Tull are grooming to be the next Lieutenant or Captain. That's just what Salisbury needs, another paid fire officer with a gravy job doing nothing every day of the week.

By the way does anyone know of a fulltime "Volunteer Recruitment Coordinator" anywhere in the state of Maryland for a fire department?

Seriously, does anyone think that a "Volunteer Recruitment Coordinator" requires a full-time position? Is someone going to be actively recruiting 40 hours a week? This is just as dumb as hiring Caroline O'Hare as the full-time coordinator for the National Foke Festival!! WTH is she doing every day of the week for 40 hours a week? Nothing! The little Boi Mare doesn't know the first thing about running a fire department no more than he does running a National Foke Festival!! What does he know? This moron is unemployable and has never held down a full-time job so we know he knows nothing about running a damn city!

"Valid drivers license in the state the employee resides." Sounds to me like they might be hiring someone that lives in Delaware.

If Jake Day really cared about this city he would require the paid firemen to be residents of Salisbury so they can give back to the city that pays their salaries. Not only that they would be in town and available for any after hour calls alerted for. After all the city gives each paid firemen a $500 Motorola pager that does no good if they are living in Ocean City or Chincoteague!

Police Officers should be required to live in the city limits of Salisbury as well. Hell, why not all city employees! Many other cities require their employees to live in or relocate to that city if they are offered a job.

Why is that job ad so darn blurry? Can't they do better than that?

I'd rather see more police officers in Salisbury than hiring more paid firemen!

The City of Salisbury and the Field Operations Department are looking for a Utility Section Chief! This individual would supervise crews during installation, repair, and maintenance of water, wastewater, storm drain, and water distribution control systems. 💦💧

Field Operations Department and Utility Section Chief??? Now what in the Hell do those titles mean?? Not a damn thing except for they sound like titles from a fire department. Jake Day idolizes firemen because he doesn't have the balls to become one. That is why he has never been deployed. GOOBER!

Who would that be?

@11:21 someone should check into ALL hiring practices within Salisbury City government. This idiot Stevenson since being given his latest job has hired 4 people below him since assuming director of operations. It seems he can't handle the TOTAL requirements of another city management position so it's costing the city roughly 200,000 grand a year in salaries to handle the slack of his being allowed to stay in a managerial position. Why would a department head be permitted to hire 4 people to do his job and he just skates around all day?

Stevenson has got to have a record of all the women he has slept with in the various departments in the city and yet still gets no charges and skates free. Susan Phillips was the best one in the whole department and actually worked with the citizens of Salisbury, since she left the city is worse again and slumlords are getting away with everything short of murder, well at least so far there are no body bags.

It's nothing short of theft what today's Salisbury City government is getting away with. Jake Day and his merry band of ferry's are creating numerous unnecessary positions costing the city taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars

This job is a higher salary than people on the police department patrol. Lots of city employees are not happy about it. Thats why they end up at the sheriffs office.

Half the department heads there don't do anything but bark orders and take credit for their underlings work!

@12:34 I hear this douchebag Stevenson has really gone off the deep end with his Napoleon complex and let a job go to his head. He's pissed off a lot of people with his nasty attitude

Actually there are none. They are not required to post ANY position with exception to department heads...
