“He is making more than me — who the hell is Thomas Caputo? Why isn’t there transparency?” - Dini Morbillo
Uh, who the hell is Dina Morbillo? And who's Caputo? Likely someone who is pretty critical to one of the most public transportation systems in the Country. Also..."why isn't there transparency?" I thought that's what the article was about? Seems pretty transparent to me, but what do I know.
“This guy is making almost $500,000?! Wow. I don’t even know what a chief measurement operator is; all I know is I want in that,” said one customer-service worker, who wouldn’t give his name. “I’m in the wrong department.”
Go answer the phones or hand out subway maps, guy. What a crock of BS. No sh-t your $12/hr "customer service" job doesn't compare. Sucks to suck.
Even worse the guy who made 255k in ot with a 55k base. How is that even possible. I wonder if they still have those rules move a train get a full 8 hours of OT. At double time with a 55k you would have to work 130hrs a week the entire year to make 255k.
With seniority you get first dibs on all overtime assignments regardless of your specialty position. So most likely for all that OT he wasn't working his measurement job, but was probably the guy sitting in the truck.
While this is completely ridiculous, don't blame the guy making the $....blame management for running the LIRR so poorly. ANYONE given the chance to make this much $, would. If not, your an idiot.

My last 3 yrs because of administrative incompetence in hiring staff I so called "padded" my pension. Only a lazy fool wouldn't. I worked an avg of 15 hrs OT a week. It sucked then but it's great now.

It's not about what this person does; union rules made this possible, and I've said more than once the unions run NY State. Multiple this by thousands of times, and that's why NY State is so broke and dysfunctional. They've got pols at the throat, so leaving is the only relief available for Mr. and Ms. Taxpayer.
This is the reality, whether you think this is terrific or terrible.
Assuming that the average monthly LIRR ticket is $320, this one dude's overtime pay alone could buy 1,075 monthly tickets. Geez..
And soon they'll be raising fares again while they pretend to be clueless as to why. They'll try to make you believe that its actually for a legitimate reason and you guys will fall for it again. Rinse & Repeat.
