And while we're at it, let's bump them up to eight hours per day, five days per week. That post for the cycling coordinator was outrageous - not because of the annual wage as they were looking for a highly-qualified professional, but because the hours were ridiculous:

Fata that. Government employees have sweet contracts (don't get me started on teachers working 3/4 of a day, 2/3 of a year for full-time pay) where they work less and less and get paid more than their private-sector counterparts. All while thinking they have it rough and are giving up something to be 'civil servants'. Let's cut these salaries and benefits, and get back to eight hours per day, five days per week. If you're going to have an easy government job with low expectations of productivity, the pay should be commensurate with that.
