A company has found out that one of its employees has been manipulating financial records to embezzle money. The company's auditors have discovered that over a 6-month period, the employee stole $30,000. If the employee took an equal amount of money each month, how much money did they embezzle each month? If the employee worked 8-hour shifts, 5 days a week, at an hourly rate of $25, how much did they make in total during the 6-month period? Assume that the employee did not take any vacation days during this period.
