Now I know why the toll collectors always have a smile on their face…
Toll road collections eaten into expenses – More than half of the $22 million collected last year on three regional toll roads operated by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission was eaten up by expenses, including toll collector salaries that ranged as high as $72,000, according to a review of finances by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
:doh:
DAMN!!
"Four toll collectors and a janitor are assigned to the Jefferson Hills plaza. The top three toll collectors grossed $72,367, $66,229 and $64,977 last year, respectively, counting regular and overtime wages.
Turnpike records disclosed that personnel assigned to the Mon-Fayette Expressway’s Interstate 70-to-Route 51 toll barrier in Jefferson Hills collectively grossed almost as much in overtime ($141,700) as in regular salary ($150,601) last year under a labor contract that pays $18.69 an hour to top-rated collectors."
thats crazy… to just collect money
insane nothing, it’s bullshit. penndotters are some of the most overpaid, underworked ppl in america
Sounds like they logged plenty of overtime :dunno:
and the Univ. of Pitt Chancellor…if you knew of the perks he gets you’d be so pissed.
besides getting a house/mansion, he has the Univ. of Pitt grounds crew come to his house to do his yard work?? WTF…and thats just the tip of it.
DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!
I work closely with PennDOT on a daily basis. Let me confirm the obvious and let everyone know that the obsurd laziness doesn’t just include the highway workers and toll collectors. Even the business people in charge don’t do shit. They slack and try to follow so many BS regulations that nothing gets done. We submit plans (the firm I work for designs highways/sewage systems, etc) and they get delayed and reviewed constantly. It’s aggrivating because once our plans start to get built, the laziness/overpaidiness starts all over.
No wonder the US economy sucks. Any businessman with a sense in their head would hire an illegal immigrant in a heartbeat… you get a REAL worker for a portion of the money.
Totally agree!
Recently Ive been researching the job market / US econ. quite a bit and think that its has all gone to hell because of lazy overpaid American “workers” and not suprisingly the lazy unemployed fawkers collecting unemployment from my tax dollars :rant: Theres plently of openings out there but Americans are too picky when it comes to job selection. Sure everyone wants somethign that will make them happy but telling the fed. that you are unable to work because ya cant find a job is BS.
…and Americans wonder why jobs are going overseas. Sure the war doesnt help the econ. but at least try to make the best of the situation :wtcslap:
Usually wars help the economy. Look how WWII ended the Great Depression. But even G.W. Bush fucked that up somehow. Instead of getting the US involved in the war (like WWII) Bush has everyone against it. Its just silly how stupid most of the things the government does. Then after they go to war on our primary source of oil, they neglect the fact that our country and it’s citezens are financially in ruin except for like 1% of us. Alot of arrogant americans think they DESERVE unemployment and/or the perfect job. The fact is the origional members of this country founded it through hard work. Hell, anyone that BUILDS A COUNTRY must be a pretty hard worker… too bad we lost that motivation somewhere along the way. Now it seems americans just want handed everything like children. The lazy ones just don’t see that you have to work for better things.
and like the rage against the machine lyrics go… plead the 5th 'cuz you can’t plead the first.
you guys should just forget about getting jobs. Stay at home and get drunk all day. Its really fun! :bigok:
