When I worked for the moving company the pay was good, but we often worked like dogs. One WE we had an IBM move into a new building on a Sat +Sun. For some reason, they did not get the CO for the building on time, which required an Operating Engineer for each of the 6 elevators in the bank of elevators.
We were making double time, which was good money, no complaints, but the Operating Engineers not one had a higher pay rate than us, but they were making Triple Time. The elevators were push button, and we often filled them completely with furniture. With no room to get in, they would stand there and say "OK, you can hit the button", and for that, they made much more than we did, and we were killing ourselves (8 am till 2 am, both Sat + Sun, was the most I had ever made in a week in my life). The way it was!!!
