Based on how much it appears to cost to live in the San Diego area (and the Bay Area in SF, where I have headhunters trying to get me to move to from DE), I don’t think that check amounts to much.

And for the Los Angeles guy, my condolences. I hope you have other income for retirement (I’m not critizing, it just sounds like you are getting a bad deal for 20 yrs service).

“The average San Diegan city employee now gets a check for $306,000 when he retires, plus an additional $50,000 per year thereafter”

I have worked for the city of Los Angeles, and now work the state of California. I can tell you my retirment will be nothing like this. I will get about 60% of my salary and no lump sum payment.

You can say the average government employee is lazy, rude and sometimes a borderline mental patient, but well paid?

Hopefully it’s a mistake. If not, I’m transfering to San Diego.
