Was he a money-loving Shylock named Lynne?

This. That probably buys you a roach-infested 1 bedroom studio apartment in the ghetto part of San Francisco.

He's figured out that he gets paid for the time he's clocked on, not for the work he does.
Probably sleeps on the job, and runs errands and shit, goes home for dinner and shows up later to clock out etc.

Update - Best not to end up in the news because.
Except he is still employed and probably lives in City of Fairfield at just below 50% the cost of San Francisco.

A San Francisco transit janitor with an arguably excessive salary was caught hiding in a closet for several hours at work. What exactly he does there remains questioned.
Liang Zhao Zhang, tasked to clean the Powell Street station, made at least $270,000 in 2015. On top of his basic pay worth $57,945, the amount included $162,050 in overtime, $14,594 in “other pay” and $36,652 in total benefits.
Overall, Zhang earned $271,243 in 2015 and possibly more in 2016, Transparent California showed. But he’s now under flak following an investigation conducted by local television station KTVU, which noticed that he often visited a storage closet in the station.
Through surveillance footage, KTVU found that Zhang spent as much as 90 minutes in the closet several times in the day. Employer Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) paid him for a 17-hour workday for a period of 18 consecutive days in July 2015.

Yeah, the dude found a hiding place to sleep, of course it's the janitors closet. Anyone "working" those hours is sleeping on the job, or chilling out in the wifi closet most of the day.
I bet those janitors find out where the cameras blind spots are now and plan their days "work" accordingly.
