If anyone thinks that is an easy way to make money they are ill informed.
Legalized theft. The politicians who signed off on the mechanisms that allow these packages to come about should be in prison for life.
Most of the stuff I learned about prison were from watching OZ’. Had a former apt manager, a prison guard retiree and the stuff I saw on Oz was just the tip of the iceberg.
“While Harvard-educated lawyers and consultants often have to work long hours with little recompense besides Chinese take-out”
WTF. Being Harvard educated means that you should get an easier ride than others? You couldn’t pay me enough to be a prison guard.
And you work with a better class of people. Which is nice.
I guess I can get why a prison guard can make some good money seeing that your life is in danger having to babysit some of the worst offenders.
But 85% of your salary at retirement + Medical benefits??
Enough guys getting that and you are basically paying the equal of 1/2 of the workforce now to not actually preform a service.
I’ll tell you what I don’t like about these kind of articles. They focus too much on the working man, the sergeant in this case.
Is it unethical to take a job with good benefits? Is it unethical to put in overtime?
No. It’s the politicians - and only the politicians - at fault here.
Sure, the system needs to be fixed, and soon. But such articles need to focus more on who set up these benefits, not on who is legally receiving them.
Pay issues aside, CO’s want to keep the animals inside, lawyers want them outside so they can reoffend. Frequent offenders equal frequent paychecks for attorneys; defense, prosecutor and judge. (All attorneys)
Sympathy can be found in the dictionary between a crude word for fecal matter and syphilis.
That is huge.
That comes out to 1941 hours of overtime. That is almost another work year (2080 hours).
Not really unusual in the regular industrial work place really. My father worked 7 twelve hour days a week for several years in a foundry. That comes out to 1664 overtime hours per year.
But my father worked till he was 65 and got no medical benefits and only a minimal pension.
Yes, but if you’re mixed-race, arriving and attending under mysterious and anonymous and unrecorded unpublicized circumstances, you have the chance to Elmer Gantry your way into a presidency....beats a great pension anytime.
Some California prison guards have been busted for selling smokes for $100.00 a pack wonder what they get for drugs?.
