Close friend of mine is a scientist for the federal government and after 8 years makes 72k. And I thought that salary was crazy.

Oh, it doesn't end there... On top of this generous salary is six weeks of vacation, 14 public holidays, 1 personal day, 3 weeks of sick leave (payable even if unused in many cases), an extremely generous benefits package of gold plated health benefits and platinum retirement benefits.
But that's not all! On top of this you have job security, a discipline system that costs hundreds of thousands to run each year - without actually disciplining anyone, benefits managers, employee advocates, servants to clean up after them, as well as generous gifts to feed them as well from coffee service to employee events.
When all is said and done, a cop might take home 70k in salary, but it costs the taxpayers nearly half a million a year. And when he leaves service, that figure drops usually only by half.
It is embezzlement of public funds on the grandest scale ever.
I almost wish the judge would grant the council their wish, immediately order that every janitor and cleaning service is fired, and issue toilet brushes in court to the parties involved.
