  It's a pretty standard tactic within municipal workforces to intentionally under-hire full time employees to "force" overtime among the remaining ones. Low level corruption.

    And to rotate who gets to take advantage of the forced overtime to allow those about to retire to clock in a few years of inflated pay to boost their pension payouts.

    Interesting, is the incentive here to undermine wage limits in place to give their employees a better living?

      Notice how the last name of the janitor is the same as his supervisor's name. That's the nature of government jobs. Certain groups (families, friends, ...) "conquer" them. They only hire from the group and do whatever you can to make the group as a whole earn as much as possible, and "re-divide" the results (e.g. in order to get overtime you have to pay 50% of it to the supervisor).
