Here’s something juicy: a PDF file that lists the 596 people who work for the City of San Francisco and earn over $150,000 a year.
Imagine how many packets of Ramen you could buy if you made over $150K a year? Better yet, imagine what you could eat, instead?
This list was procured following Sup. Aaron Peskin’s announcement that he wants to eliminate such positions, unless they are absolutely essential, rather than simply slash and burn from the bottom up, as Mayor Gavin Newsom appears to be proposing.
As it happens, most of these jobs are safe from cuts, thanks to a bunch of charter mandates that say, the City needs department heads, and lawyers and doctors.
But the list makes for interesting reading especially if you are sitting in a cramped apartment, huddled over a space heater and eating Ramen noodles for the 596th time!
