If he's making four times his base pay as a janitor, 1x of that is base pay, and 3x is overtime. If that 3x is time and a half, he's working 2x his normal hours

If he's making four times his base pay as a janitor, 1x of that is base pay, and 3x is overtime. If that 3x is time and a half, he's working 2x his normal hours on top of his normal hours.
Is this guy working 120 hours a week? Has to be more that time and a half overtime, 120 hours is not doable over a year.
- wadenick 10y agoThe first article I read made it clear he was doing 114 hours a week: http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/BART-Janitor-Made-270K-in-Pay-and-Benefits-Last-Year-Report-399550951.html http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/BART-Janitor-Made-270K-... The headline figure includes his benefits in order to seem worse in some way. Wages were around $230K. Reality is 114 hours of work every week makes for a dismal sort of life for most people. Perhaps this is a case of Chinese work ethic plus pension spiking?
- kamaal 10y ago>>120 hours is not doable over a year. Why do you think so? Just because some of us can't others can't? This is a bit like expressing surprise over people running miles everyday. It looks impossible until you actually start doing it.
- patmcguire 10y agoThat's 17 hours a day, every day without breaks. If he took a day off or worked only 14 hours he's got to make that up. It's more than two-thirds of the time in a year on the job. Not conscious time, total time. Looks like he did do it, but it's at the edge of physical possibility. As you get up there every hour is a much larger chunk of your available time. 114-120 is a lot more than 100.
