I made $85K to manage 4 supervisors and a staff of about 50 union employees. I must have been awfully difficult to handle though because there were 6 Civil Service types, all of them earning more than me, that were detailed to supervise parts of the contract I managed - which meant their entire job was to manage me. And that is NOT unusual. I saw many examples of it in my days working for Guvm't contractors. I interacted with these 6 well paid people a total of about 2 hours a week or so. Each had a report that they needed me to produce so that they could spend their week "analyzing" it. I had a software program configured to pump out the reports in a few minutes so that wasn't any problem. And that's not all. One of those six had a staff of 6 working for him to assist him in monitoring me. It just went on and on and on. By the way, I still make $85K and all six of those Civil Service types are still there and managing the guy that took the job when I left - and he tells me all of their salaries are over 6 figures now.

As they say, shit rolls downhill, and the more hill you have above you, the more you're going to be showered with.

Being a government employee myself who works "on the deck plates" we are paid only a little bit more that the contractors and are overworked and under-appreciated. Making roughly 40k a year and expecting to do more work than the top heavy management with is current ratio of 1 supervisor per 7 employees. Back in the old days it was 1 forman, supervisor, or lvl 1 sup, per 25 employees. Very frustrating.
