I once worked for a company that didn't track their expenses too well, and we found out the maid was getting over 10K a month for working 2 hours 5 days a week. The maid.

I did the hourly break down and realized she was the highest paid person in the company (CEO included) for about a year and a half.

I couldn't believe it.

There's also a pun about maids and laundry somewhere in there.
lol. commenting on HN is generally unproductive.
