[quote=pjwal]This makes me sick to my stomach. Some joke IT dinosaur, that probably worked most his life fixing printer problems, whom made it “all the way up” to Director if IT (where most of his job still consisted of fixing printer problems) is now sitting pretty on a 139k/year pension. It’s not he was actually really challenged with a budget or had to worry about profitably at all during his career. Not like he actually had to innovate or keep his skill set up with changing technology. Not like he actually worked weekends or ever averaged more than 38 hours per week.[/quote]
Do you have backup for ANY of these claims?

We covered all this a year or so ago when we talked about some female Fire Chief’s pension.

I’m with Texas and CAR.

Think about it – recall the recent thread where we had some sfwr engr with 10 years experience at 110k right? Or was it 120?

Now you got someone who worked 35 years and rose to a leadership position, managing LOTS of people (which is not that fun or easy) – uh, 138k is not really that much money, after taxes.

The comment about the director of IT fixing printers is laughable, sorry. Most likely that person’s job was managing managers, managing budgets, modernization plans, big capital expenditure decisions, payroll software, facilities, contractor decisions, etc. Think about it. Think about what the IT needs of all of San Diego and all its departments would be. Sheesh.

If you were given that job tomorrow, do you think you’d be running around fixing printers? Hell no, your first thought would probably be “Holy Sh*t, this job is a LOT bigger and more complex than I thought it would be”.

Calling B.S. that an editor of the Wall Street Journal said wall st must be “defeated”. And that he startled paraphrasing Lenin. Pulease.
