Cut the commute: Employee moved into company paint shed

Ever feel like you spend so much time at work, you might as well live there?

If you found out that some of your co-workers were living out of their office cubicles, you might assume they couldn’t afford a place to live on their salary.

That’s the first thing we thought when we heard about Henry Logue — he moved a microwave and refrigerator into the Rockland Psychiatric Center’s paint shed, and even had his mail delivered there.

But here’s the kicker: Logue made over $100,000 a year and owned a house with his wife.

Okay, well, maybe the house was too far away to make the daily commute, so he slept at the company during the week?

Logue’s upscale house was only 15 minutes from the hospital.

After hospital officials received an anonymous tip about the maintenance worker (we’re betting it was from his wife), they began an investigation and quickly found the humble abode.

Logue’s now living back at home with his wife, and is being charged $2,500 for the time he lived on company premises. That comes out cheaper than most mortgages in New York state.
