[quote=sdrealtor]Cmon UR you know how ridiculous that is. We dont get pensions or any benefits. If we dont make it happen we could work 168 hours a week and not make a penny.
These are both regular employees not particularly high level ones. They dont work massive overtime like some have suggested. They are just regular folks taking home money that 99% of this country only dreams of. And when they retire at a nice young age they will collect pensions for likely 20 to 40 years of close to 200K a year. Do you have that to look forward to?[/quote]
No. We get paid sometimes very far above market for our labor. Sometimes nothing.
A while back I closed a deal that netted me over $6000 per hour worked.
This morning I am drafting a letter for a former client about a short sale I was underpaid on 2 years ago (for no pay).
The question you asked was about income and not bennies.
There is a valid argument to be made that some public employees are overpaid.
However, just laughing that somebody working in healthcare and another in PS (I am guessing a police supervisor)make a lot is shallow and dumb beyond words.
It is also a departure from the usually high level of discourse you display (though you have been doing that a lot lately).
It also makes me glad I am not your client.
I would hate to have an agent I interviewed chuckling online about my livelihood.
That’s pretty fucked up.
