[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoever disputes that admins at finregs are grossly overpaid is crazy. At my finreg, there are secretaries and paralegals who literally do 15 minute of work per week and yet make $120k. So they basically make more per hour than Cravath and Wachtell partners.

Not complaining — “hate the game, not the player.”  But don’t pretend it’s not happening. [/quote]

+1000. I work at a FinReg. Admins were grossly overpaid for the amount of work they did even before Covid. With new telework postures in place, many of these positions should go away entirely. But there is no way this administration is going to reduce headcount that leans heavily toward black women. Fiscal responsibility be damned.[/quote]

Agree. But it really hurts morale when hardworking economists/lawyers/etc have to work all weekend on a rule making or trial while these useless admins do nothing and still get paid. They should get rid of them and use the savings to boost everyone else’s salaries. [/quote]

er, presumably those hardworking econs/lawyers/etc are on flex schedules and are also accruing credit hours and overtime for any extra work. If they are not, that's specifically a their-management problem, because it's not actually legal to donate your time to the government. I've pulled plenty of weekend and night work, and I get paid.

Also, salaries are a drop in the bucket expense-wise. [/quote]

I am at FRB where many professional staff put in 60 hour weeks. We do not accrue any credit hours or other compensation for the extra hours. [/quote]

Cool, good to know![/quote]
