No city employee gets paid enough, but luckily, with overtime ,they can make over 100k a year and they retire after 22.5 years, these jobs have a waiting list for that reason. Even after 5 years they make over 83k base, plus overtime, some people make close to 200k, which is insane for what they do. To put that in perspective, a teacher with student loans and 8 years of college for example, makes 81k after 5 years and a Ph.D, and they rarely get overtime. So for a job that requires only a high school diploma, they get paid really well (taking into account the overtime which is guaranteed and salary after 5 years.)

[@jayprimo]

No, this job has a waiting list because it requires no skill outside of a CDL (which they train and provide for), no college degree, and still hire people with criminal records. No other agency has wait lists like this, because the requirement are much stricter or require certain levels of skill.

[@mikepizza76]

The overtime is never guaranteed. And is sometimes even forced upon you, with the threat of disciplinary action against you if you can't stay late or can't work a day that you were supposed to be off for. As for the higher wagers ($200K) that were mentioned, that for the most part is not the Sanitation Worker. That was mostly Supervisors and up. And even for them that is an abnormalitie. For the last 2 years of dealing with Covid, put most to work 7 days a week, some for months at a time. So it's really not fair to compare a teacher and a manual labored job for 7 days a week for months at a time, with no summers and winter recesses off, and some holidays worked as well. And for the snow days those 7 days a week days are 12 hours long of driving. And let's not forget that Sanitation Worker is in the top 5 of most dangerous jobs yearly, Google it.

Let’s do a NYC Public School Special Education Teacher next! Starting salary with a Bachelors $65,000. Salary with a Masters after 8 years, taking and passing 6 state exams, and receiving your permanent professional license $80,000. After 22 YEARS we’ll receive $110,000. Overtime is rare. Tier 6 retirement plan is 30 years of service and 67 years of age. Being a teacher is the only profession where your expected to purchase the items to actually do your job. Not all NYC agencies are created and/or funded equally. (This is not an attack on DSNY, merely shedding light on the disparities between agencies). Love my guys in green!

@@Seenalot since you missed the ENTIRE POINT. Let’s break this down further: NYC Teachers: NO over time pay, $250 a YEAR supply grant, NO clothing allowance, NO reduced and/or free metro-card, NO universal car plaque, 25 years and 62 years old to retire. Shall I continue? Allow me to preface this by saying every city worker is deserving of a livable wage and security. With that said, one city agency shouldn’t supersede another-especially those who have sacrificed years in school to teach the next generation of human beings.
