I heard this story on the radio this morning and someone called in saying that he's probably doing it for his pension. They mentioned he was a captain and was probably close to retirement. LA County employees can get 80% of the average of their final three years salary at age 55.

For starters, Daniel "Danny" Douglas, and other high-earning lifeguards listed by OpenTheBooks.com, serve on specialized teams that travel to other parts of the state and even the country to assist in emergencies such as wildfire disasters. Last year, Douglas alone served 114 days on a COVID incident management team, and 70 days on fire incident management teams on six separate fires in addition to his service as an ocean lifeguard.
"These are all in addition to his normal lifeguard responsibilities," the spokesperson said of Douglas. "So it's not like he's just sitting around at the beach with his toes in the sand collecting overtime. He's doing some major things on these incident teams, which are really essential in the structure of wildland firefighting. And, as we saw with the COVID response, [in] helping the communities."

How many people realistically average 80 hours a week every single week for an entire year?
I'll call bullshite

Is this high for the largest lifeguard group in the world that also assists with fighting fires?

hey retards.
200k for overtime to 1 person.
So his base pay is 150k and he was paid more than 150k in overtime?
So they could have 2 captains at 150k, eliminated need for overtime, and saved money.
Obviously none of you have ever run a business.
The stupidity on this board is impressive.

That would be $70k in this example. 15% reduction in hours.
So again, I'll call bullshite.

In fact, only two of the top 20 high-earners were women: Virginia Rupe ($307,664; 16th highest paid), a lifeguard captain, and Lauren Dale ($303,518; 19th highest paid), an ocean lifeguard specialist.

Fiscal irresponsibility.
He's got a supervisor getting kickbacks. If youre paying a lifeguard 500k, you've got a lazy Manager or corrupt administration.

Govt workers are all overpaid, and over compensated for what they do. Pensions, bonuses, etc.
Teachers might be the only exception.

You're in control of the finances and you are paying 4-5x salary to your employees. That's irresponsible of you
