This is the type of thing that makes this ardent DOGE critic an ardent DOGE supporter. From the Herald: “A Boston school custodian cleaned up as he retired with $567,427 in take-home pay last year, with a barrelful of that cash coming from unused vacation time.”

No use-it-or-lose-it vacation policies in government. … The custodian in question, whose base salary was $108,815 last year, claims he didn’t use 6,000 hours of vacation time “over decades,” or roughly 150 weeks of unused vacation time. … Does this sound plausible? Can the public see his vacation stubs?
