penultimatestraw 473 Posted August 9, 2018 No, I was actually underpaid when compared to other cops. Nice attempt, but failure.I, too am underpaid relative to other physicians. Especially when you consider the cost of living in HI. What do I win? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 6,570 Posted August 9, 2018 Bullsh!t. Your pay was arbitrary. And why do only some jobs deserve a pension? Â For the record, I think law enforcement officers are probably underpaid, but the concept of "earning" a fraction of your salary indefinitely is silly. Especially when it is involuntarily funded by taxpayers who had no say in its determination. The funny part is the average NYPD beat cop salary is around $70,000 today. HT claims to have earned well in excess of $100,000/year when he retired many years ago but somehow he was underpaid anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 6,570 Posted August 9, 2018 Today in 2018 the high end is $85k plus OT. Lets say HT earned the absolute top rate plus 30% for overtime when he retired some unspecified number of years ago. Thats $110k. Didnt he brag about making vastly more than $100k? Smells like horsesh1t. Â Tanatastic should look into this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 6,570 Posted August 9, 2018 If I work hard enough, can I earn 130% of the top end for my profession 10 years into the future? And if I did, will I complain about having been underpaid in 2028? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 6,570 Posted August 9, 2018 Wow, earned 40% more than todays top rate 10 years ago? That HT must be a real go getter.

MDC 6,570 Posted August 9, 2018 Did they throw a parade every time you locked away a bad guy? Or just special occasions, like when you locked away Zed and the Scullions and cleaned up the 16th Precinct? Â No wonder they paid you 140% of the going rate.

Â Both the cops on this board brag about the money they somehow made yet every other cop everywhere including tv talks about how they are underpaid and make nowhere near that amount. We have the two highest earning law enforcement agents in the country on our board it seems. A job where you could be shot dead in a given day is prob underpaid regardless though.

Casual Observer 597 Posted August 9, 2018 It's an opinion. And I ain't getting pissy, nor am I asking for a large portion of my salary for life...nobody deserves that IMO. I should think the pension was gained through collective bargaining sometime in the past, which was approved by local governmental officials who were either elected by the people or who were appointed by a person elected by the people.

Dude finds a way to watch the kids all day and drive Lyft all night while posting 24/7. He clearly gives 140% and deserves to be paid as much, adjusted for inflation 10 years into the future. Â If he was underpaid its probably because his boss wondered how a NYC beat cop doesnt understand IP addresses and thinks Harlem is bigger than Philadelphia. Must have put a cap on his earning potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
