If you are familiar with the area where the hospital is located, $9+ dollars an hour plus benefits is really good. It is some cheap living up there.

Cheap living in Stroudsburg PA? I’m a half hour away in the Belvidere, NJ area.

I assumed that with all the mega schools going up, due to the fact that half of Staten Island, NYC and Bergen County moving in, the taxes were skyrocketing.

Glover, Raitt and Adnan Shrumji?

I think somebody proved it was him a couple years ago.

I live 12 miles from this hospital. I’ve even been hospitalized there one time. I’ll try not to ever go there again. But it’s not cheap here. The prices have been driven up steadily over the past 20 years by people from NYC and NJ moving out here. We are moving 600 miles south, where our property taxes will be about 1/10 of what they are here.

Glover is almost as “RED” as Obama.

Lied to by the union and she won’t listen to any other opinion. Pathetic.

You are fortunate that they didn’t shoot out your tires for that.

Wow. I just had my annual review - not one negative comment on it, superior worker in many areas and I got a 2.5% raise.

I pay close to $80.00 a month for individual coverage health plan. I put money in my savings plan which the company matches by half.

What are they whining about?
