The controversy surfaced in 2016 when Transparent California, a watchdog group, publicized system service worker Liang Zhao Zhang’s $271,000 pay in the previous year, calling it “outrageous and irresponsible.”BART claims that none of the other
Zhang quickly gained international fame, or infamy, as news outlets, cable TV commentators, New York and London tabloids and websites blasted him and BART. KTVU reviewed surveillance video and reported that Zhang took overly long breaks behind closed doors in a room at Powell Street Station.
BART officials said then and now that Zhang legitimately earned his pay by working long and hard and completed the work expected of him. He managed to rack up so much overtime by accepting nearly every extra shift offered, either because seniority required that it be offered to him or because no one else wanted the additional hours. …
How much would it cost the city to clean all the human crap off the sidewalks?
I wouldn’t even think of moving to the SF/Silicon Valley area for anything less than 500k a year. And likely would require much more.
Not only that, but if the $162,050 was pure overtime, that means regular yearly pay is $108,950, or over $50 per hour.
The one who got $271K in 2015 was seen on surveillance cameras taking excessively long breaks behind a locked door. BART still backed him up.
That’s hazard pay.
They should be paid much more! (Break the libturd bank!!)
They have to have a PhD in Environmental Engineering to collect the special SF crap.
“Minimum wage plus benefits- that’s a decent job.”
Where?

for a janitor? anywhere
Cameras catch BART janitor who made $270,000 in a year spending hours in Powell St. closet

BART janitors get paid regardless of whether they show up for work or not.
Not to mention, much of that was “earned” while locking himself in a closet and goofing off, but BART still backs him up and claims he did everything that was required of him. (They didn’t tell him to come out of the closet.)
It's just government money anyway.
Yup, just more IOUs.
why pay your janitors $271,000 a year when there’s still sh*t and trash all over the train stations? The astronomical wages sure haven’t incentivized any cleanup ...

So, a janitor makes $109K a year? What a gig.
