The streets of New York aren’t paved with gold, but the sewers apparently are.
An employee in the city’s Department of Environmental Protection walked off with an astonishing $539,098 paycheck last year, according to records released by the Empire Center think tank.
Bhavesh Patel, a stationary engineer, clocked 1,992 overtime hours on top of his 2,086 regular hours, the city confirmed Friday.
That means he worked an average of 78 hours a week for 52 weeks, assuming he never called out sick or took a day of vacation.
His pay was also bolstered by back pay from a new contract settled after a 10-year dispute.
“New York’s sewers run 24 hours a day with more than 1 billion gallons of wastewater and these engineers protect public health by ensuring it all flows in the right direction,” said DEP spokesman Ted Timbers, trying to explain the eye-popping figure.

That guy barely has the time to eat, sleep, shower, and change clothes if he’s clocking 78 hours a week for a year.
I’ll betcha if he could work out a deal like that, he wasn’t working all that hard inside a just a 40-hour week.

If the stationary engineer can prove he was at his post/on duty for the hours he logged and his work was getting done, I’m sure no one would bat an eye.
I’d guess the trick is to catch him in a lie about it.

I’ve been there, done that. Not for an entire year but about 8 months of it. Sometimes I would cover someone else’s Shift and do 20 hours at a time in the same week as the 12’s at the Water Plant.

16 hours a day for 52 weeks with no days off and supervisor approved?
How many holidays did he clock in?

I thought a stationary engineer was one of those guys that leans on a shovel all day.

So many classic moments. I'm glad that The Honeymooners,unlike lots of stuff from the 50’s,didn't disappear due to money and/or technological limitations.

That wasn’t because of Nortons salary. That was because Trixie ran that household.
