I can't imagine being the parent with multiple kids and having to go home to tell your spouse and your kids that the park admissions are going away, and they now only get $1000.

Why don't you go tell you're boss you'll gladly take a cut to your compensation so you can step up?
If you complain, you don't make enough, perks taking away , and not willing step up to earn more/ restructure , downsize your life through other ways, then little sympathy... Your post doesn't make sense.

Getting a bit off-topic, but this seems like a harsh response. I know the firefighters and RCID had been back and forth on contract negotiations for awhile, and CFTOD finally settled and approved a new contract. But, attacking them for “complaining”, and suggesting they need to work more or downsize their life is way over the line.
I don’t know all the details, but I’m firmly on the side of supporting them and compensating them with a good wage.

It's not a situation specific response, just blind sycophancy. You're not supposed to question your betters, just do what you're told and work harder to please them.

After going back and forth with negotiations , contract was approved.
Earn more in various ways to improve financial situation is a good thing, nothing blind about that but some will still have other viewpoints .

I'm hearing the real reason he resigned is to spend more time with his press releases.

Exactly, the primary and by far the largest taxpayer to RCID was Disney, so they just gave a refund to the only major taxpayer that they have. What a crock of crap and grossly misleading that entire previous post is. It is implying that it is the Florida Taxpayers that financially supported RCID. Do people no longer have a working brain cell or have we become so evil as a society that we just want to believe the worst of everything.This the best type of misdirection. It's technically true, while giving the wrong impression. Since, certainly, the taxpayers should be upset by this wasteful spending, and we're all taxpayers right? Right?
If they had written "it cost taxpayers to RCID over $2.5 million" it would lose some if it's impact. As people began think, "I don't pay taxes to RCID, so it's some other taxpayer that should be concerned". If it was clear that the taxpayers to RCID all voted and desired to spend the money this way, it would lose a lot of the PR impact.

wonder how the firefighters feel that this dude waltzes in with a $400k salary, while they had to fight to get what, $50k for risking their lives? I'd have more sympathy if they hadn't been part of this unconstitutional takeover.
Average annual salary of an Orlando firefighter is $49K.
That's interesting since it was never tied to taxpayer money before. So here come the additional bills to Florida taxpayers, on top of desantis' presidential campaign and travel expenses which have been hidden from the people who are paying for them, all while he isn't working as governor.

Well… he doesn’t have a boss… but he know someone who did… and they said they can’t do that
Let me know when you try out your idea to your boss.
The previous benefits or the stipend? Both are paid from District revenues. Which are tax assessments on District property owners.
Do you understand that every time the district says “taxpayer” they are referring to the taxpayers of the district, and the vast majority of those tax payers are the Walt Disney World company? It is not the taxpayers of the state of Florida. This is how they are misrepresenting the situation in the media and people don’t know any better, or don’t take the time to actually pay attention to the details.
