dudeRobot dogs are protecting data centers. Operators are seeing payoffs.
Easy. Data centers need security 24/7.
(150k/52 weeks in a year) = 2884.62 a week
(2884.62/ 168 hours per week) = $17.17 an hour.
Large corporations see roles and not individual people. There needs to be [guard] in [location] which costs 150k.
If you think a security guard is paid $72 an hour I’m going to come work for you.
What I’m getting at is that your logic is assuming the guard lives at the data center and is always on duty. Now forgive me because I’m completely ignorant to this topic, but I don’t think that would be the case here. It would probably be the same as other jobs with scheduled hourly shifts. High profile areas will generally pay higher due to the importance of what needs to be secured.
No, it assumes that there will be A guard always on duty, and that cost is $150,000. In reality that $150,000 is probably 3 or more different guards, with rotating shifts, each making about $17/hr.
