Srsly? Have you checked out the rental prices in sf and the surrounding area? Ya gotta make that kind of money to live out there. Or not.
Still a $100,000 for being a janitor + nice pension.
With subways this filthy, i didn;t even think they had janitorial staff.
They could hire 5 times as many people, at minimum wage.
Minimum wage plus benefits- that’s a decent job.
But who will clean up the feces and hypodermic needles?
The question is, were they really working, or just working the system with faked time cards? If they really worked that nasty job and that is the pay scale, then more power to them. If they were fraudulently claiming hours, they belong in prison.
Hire the homeless.
It is a government job.
There is almost no incentive to keep costs down.
Plenty of incentive to keep costs up.
$100,000 in overtime. Unreal.

The title of this book is: If you are going to be a janitor, be the best one you can be. Or - the destruction wrought by public sector unions.
they are reining in their pay now with this example from 2015. Are they brain dead or awareness dead?? BART always paid a wage rate above the other services in SF area as far back as I can recall, but this, a base rate of over 100K for a janitor in 2015 is beyond the pale. Worse, some “managers” did not notice that someone had been paid almost 300K makes one wonder what the hell is going on that we are not being told: Kickbacks, inflated hours??
Side note: Circa 1985 BART tried to run trains at closer intervals to increase ridership. One problem, the commodore 64 data control, sarcasm, was not able to keep pace and the system virtually crashed. So, the braintrust said they would run fewer trains to increase on time performance. I wrote a simple letter to the editor which said BART will by its own admission run a perfect system when they run zero trains. The editorial page gave my letter top billing along with a cartoon showing zero trains on tracks with the title: Perfect system, no trains.
Who’s son or nephew was it that took home $271,000?
I doubt that it was Juan Doe.
And they claim no one wants to do this work.
That’s hazard pay.
They should be paid much more! (Break the libturd bank!!)
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.
It's just government money anyway.
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 ...
