\_ Are you going to retire now? -ausman
\_ No. I'm not quite there yet. But home ownership looks tempting.
-dans
\_ Financially how much better was the exit vs. the amount you could
have gotten working as a sysadmin in ucb?
\_ I'm pretty sure UCB sysadmins don't have exits. What's a
typical UCB sysadmin make? -dans
\_ http://www.sacbee.com/statepay/?name=holub&agency=&salarylevel=
\_ That's just mean. -dans
\_ not as mean as the things tom said to other people
in the past 2 decades or so.
\_ Call that a job perk. The opportunity to bitch out
people on the motd. +1 for UC Sysadmin job. -dans
\_ Probably overpaid given all the other benefits.
\_ I thought government workers were all overpaid. I just
looked up a CSUAer who works for the UC and he is making
about 2/3 what I would expect to pay for someone of his
skill and experince in the private sector. What gives?
\_ Offer him a job at the higher rate then. See if he
takes it.
\_ You are making the mistake of thinking all salary
and wages come in the form of cash.
\_ I am not sure if he would take the job or not.
It's a curious experiment. I think the one
making the mistake is the "2/3 salary" guy.
If the CSUAer could make 50% more in industry
then why isn't he? Could it be because he's
in a pretty cushy spot relative to industry?
\_ Sorry; clarification, i agree with you,
i don't agree with "all compensation is only
determined by the absolute value of my
paycheck" guy. He is assuming many things;
the least of which is that everyone has
identical values. I can give many instances
where people would opt for a lower "pay" but
more secure job: single parents (is only one
example).
\_ Maybe he lives in East Bay and doesn't want
to commute to Silicon Valley. Two extra
hours a day of free time is worth a lot
of money.
\_ I have a resume that came across my desk last
week which is a Berkeley sysadmin (not this guy).
I will probably give him a call. His stated
reason for his job search "The UC is not a good
place to work for right now." I notice most
employees haven't had a raise in four years. |

| www.sacbee.com/statepay/?name=holub&agency=&salarylevel= Traffic Clear 77 F Search for State Worker Salaries Updated: June 1, 2010. Results reflect most recent available data: 2009 for civil service, CSU and legislative workers, and for UC system workers. Note: The University of California now redacts the name of student employees, citing federal privacy law. Results for legislative staffers show pay as of March 2009 projected out for the remainder of the year. Gross pay includes overtime, bonuses, housing allowances, sick leave payout, vacation payout and multiple other forms of cash compensation. Some workers promoted toward the end of the year will see their old job titles listed here. None of the data presented has been changed from what was released to the Bee by the State Controller's Office, the University of California President's Office and the California Legislature. On names that show up in the database twice: Some state workers performed two jobs during 2009. For instance, a full-time lieutenant working for the Department of Corrections may work several part-time shifts as a sergeant. He would be listed twice here, and to see his total salary, you would add up both figures shown. This phenomenon is especially common in the California State University system. Outside the CSU system, well over 99 percent of workers only show up in this data once. UC salaries only include those earning a total of more than $20,000 in 2009. Also, the UC system blanked out the names of several thousand student assistants in their latest data release, most of them earning a relatively small amount. On comparing past year salaries: The Bee determined past pay by matching the first name, last name, middle initial and department of employees with the same criteria from past years. To avoid errors, The Bee excluded workers who show up in this data twice (see above note). Also, a state worker who wasn't hired until recently won't have any salary history. State workers hired in the middle of a previous year may appear to have a large jump in pay during the subsequent year -- that's because this database logs the actual amount paid to each worker during the entire year. Likewise, workers who left state service during the middle of 2009 may appear to have a dip in pay -- or even a big jump if they cashed out lots of vacation time. |
