(37,573 posts)or THAT much harder?
The school superintendent here makes $180,000 a year. A school janitor makes $18,000 a year. Okay, supie has a tough job maybe, with some stress and whatnot, but do they really work TEN times harder than the janitor? Or are they sitting in a comfortable office talking on the phone and reading email while the janitor is outside shovelling off the roof?
I moved over 4,000 pounds of snow - by hand, on Wednesday, which was supposed to be my day off. School had a snow day, and this now is their 3rd one. Supie gets paid $690 for an 8 hour day. How much work has Supie done on those three days off, where he/she got paid over $2,000?
It's really quite insulting to say of somebody making $200,000 a year that "they work hard" as if people who make much, much less do NOT work hard.
