I can almost guarantee she was counting "on call" time as overtime.

I did a stint in offshore O&G rig work and it was 12 on 12 off for 28 straight days in a rotation, so I was getting in 84 hour weeks for a month straight, BUT that was in a crew rotation with an entire month off to mentally and physically recover. That time was paid at 1.5 and 2.0 overtime per the law after it hit the weekly hours, so it was good pay but my base rate wasn't nearly that high to start. Working 65 or 70 hour weeks nonstop isn't happening for most people without breaks or periodic slowdowns unless their work is really low level of intensity and effort.

Also a cancer survivor, and a hero because she held a teenage boy as he lay dying.

I've done 7x12s for months on end. It's really bo big deal when you're sequestered offshore.

You do get used to it but it depends on if you are clicking buttons or moving heavy equipment and doing repetitive physical labor. I was the warehouse night manager so I was working nights and trying to sleep days on a noisy rig, and that included moving and inventorying material in addition to data management, meetings, coordinating with onshore and delivery boats and copters, etc. there were third party contractors that sometimes would be out there for months straight, but some rig hand, roughneck, or mechanic was going to physically break down at some point, or you'd start getting mental errors that could become a danger when there were drilling or crane or repair or construction or welding or whatever going on. My job was relatively easy compared with what sone of the crew was doing every day for 12 hours. The warehouse office had A/C at least. And coffee.

Oh yea I'm well aware of the disparity. I did subsea pipelining for months on end as a laborer. When I worked on the rigs the majors wouldn't let you stay out past 28 days for the very reasons you mentioned. I did a mix of manual labor and admin.

Yeah, not exactly an office job, though I will admit in a way it was nice because everyone was there every day to get the job done safely and efficiently and get everyone home.

Working almost 12/7 in an office job to get that kind of overtime would be mind warping misery. I'd rather be on a drill ship again. That's why I would have my doubts that someone put in those kind of hours in full days of work for seemingly almost non-stop. At some point almost everyone needs a break or some down time, if only to deal with real life like Dr appointments or whatever.

Exactly right on your second paragraph. The only ones doing that are the bankers, not some middling desk jockey cop.

It's not that complicated.

She signed off on her own paysheets claiming she did an average of 34 hours a week of overtime, or worked 74 hours a week.

She wasn't counting 'on call' time, this was just straight up fraud.

The more alarming part is it wasn't caught by anyone in payroll/human resources, but since she was apparently the chief's golden girl, and a BIPOC cancer survivor, she was considered untouchable. NY isn't like other places, people are terrified of being called 'racist' there.

More female cops making tons of overtime for the ousted "executive":

" More female officers in disgraced top cop Jeffrey Maddrey's orbit pulled down massive overtime and other perks, The Post has learned.

The driver for the former chief of department made an eye-popping $163,414 in OT last year and resigned days after The Post exposed her boss's alleged sleazy conduct at police headquarters, records show.

Detective Ingrid Sanders was the seventh-highest overtime earner in the department, boosting her total salary last fiscal year to $352,462, records show."

Workfare grift op

Looks like the new Commissioner is cleaning house:

" Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch ousted dozens of NYPD bosses in a shocking Saturday purge, beginning with the department's Internal Affairs Bureau, a week after The Post revealed that top cop Jeffrey Maddrey was allegedly trading overtime for sex at police headquarters.

Deputy Chief Chris Morello, the No. 2 boss at the famed watchdog bureau whose mission is to weed out bad cops, was removed from his post, paperwork obtained by The Post shows.

This comes a week after IAB's top boss, Chief of Internal Affairs Miguel Iglesias, was ejected the day of the Dec. 21 expose in The Post."

"Overtime"? That's what we used to call "quid pro quo sexual harassment"...

I read about the disaster that's Dallas fireman's pension and how it needs majir shoring up, help from the state.

The bs the admins chasing returns on investment (like buying a home I think in New Mexico)... if they simply would have "invested" in S&P 500 index, intermediate-term U.S. Treasury bonds, and "safe" municipal bonds the returns would have adequately accommodated the retirees' obligations.

Who knows what the workers were promised/guaranteed in retirement... that may have been unrealistic.

200k during the year for playing the skin flute sounds more like the world's oldest profession than harassment.

In addition to the accusations of quid pro quo sexual favors and sex harassment that led to the Friday evening retirement of Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, Lt. Quathisha Epps alleges in a complaint a wide-ranging scheme to manipulate overtime-reporting procedures dating to the tenure of Police Commissioner Edward Caban.

Can't argue that. Probably progressed from harassment to flat out pay for play. But you know it's (D)ifferent... somehow...

Probably more like, "plata o plomo". Play along and get paid serious overtime, but don't and watch your career go in the ****ter. It makes sense to offer the OT instead of just going the straight "do it or else" route because it gives her an incentive, but it also becomes a blackmail tool to keep her going and keep her quiet.

Public Safety has much different retirement rules than rank and file govt employees.

Public Safety from behind a desk?

Members of The Party always live by a different set of rules than the rest of the citizens. Work?

The person managing the pension lied to everyone, and the Dallas city council members who were supposed to be on the board and watching everything were conveniently absent and not doing their jobs....funny how that works.
