A California Department of Motor Vehicles employee took naps on the clock for up to three hours a day for nearly four years with her supervisor’s knowledge, according to a new report released Tuesday by the state auditor.
The employee, who has not been named, has cost taxpayers over $40,000, according to The Sacramento Bee.
“From February 2014 through December 2017, the employee misused more than 2,200 hours of work time as a result of sleeping on the job,” the report states. “We believe that the employee likely slept for at least three hours each day.”
The employee’s superiors knew she was sleeping on the job, but “failed to take disciplinary or medical action against the employee after initial efforts to address her conduct proved unsuccessful.”
The employee’s work included routine data entry for change of address and new vehicle ownership forms.
The woman is still a DMV employee. Her managers are currently working with human resources to find a solution after the report’s release, Fox News reported.

Heard on Rush or Plante today that all the big Silicon Valley companies have cafeterias and offer free lunch and free dinner if work late etc AND utilize luxury coaches to pick up and take home workers daily, also for free.
Yes, but those big Silicon Valley companies are doing it to get extra (free) work out of salaried employees, way over a 40 hr work week.
The DMV person would have been on an hourly rate and should actually work the hours he/she was paid for. I bet if he/she overslept an extra hour it would qualify for overtime...:^)
When I saw Zootopia the first time the theater was in a mall in Danvers MA...with a “Registry of Motor Vehicles” around the corner.
That is what demoncraps do.
working with human resources to find a solution after the report’s release,.....You are FIRED, bitch!
meanwhile, the lines go around the block in the blazing hot 100 degree sun... and people sometimes have to wait out there 2 or 3 days before they can even get inside to a counter
where the clerks are over=worked and cranky as hell
and almost totally uncooperative, unhelpful, curt....
and each employee tells you something different than the last one
a miserable horrible mistreatment of the citizens
oh yes, you can’t get an appointment within 2 or 3 months, by which time your driver license is expired of course since they only notify you 6 weeks ahead to try to make an appointment
The real question is who was she sleeping WITH?
Customers or co-workers?
That’s the first truly funny SNL skit I’ve seen in many, many, MANY years.
As opposed to all of those people on pension receiving their annual salary for doing nothing.
If free meals are to be taxed then so should catered meetings.
I know! The latest one I like is “Alexa Silver”. Even my elderly mom busts a gut every time she sees it.
As the DMV rubber stamped millions of illegals/colonists with DL’s so they could vote for Clinton and gain their own political power while sucking off of the system. It is actually scary to think.
At our local DMV, most of the employees wear SEIU T Shirts to work.
Government should be renamed Sinecures R Us
The resident sleeper at a certain gov-co agency I was at for a decade was a higher supervisor.
He slept on an old van backseat that stayed at the loading dock. Plain view.
The guy retired with no problems.
At least he would fight for his people when he wanted something unlike my worthless leader types that wouldn’t lift a finger except for a favorite.
The first government attack on the tech cafeterias is an attempt to tax them as an employee benefit, proving that truism that there is no free lunch.

When I worked for an Asphalt Company I was given a vehicle (pick up) to keep 24/7 and use as my own...it was a perk and I was expected to check jobs on weekends or in the middle of the night etc, no questions asked.
It was agreed upon by us and the saving in insurance and vehicle were significant...In fact, I went from the late 60s into the mid 90s and NEVER had Auto Insurance as I always had a Company Vehicle.
I think in the late 80s or early 90s the govt wanted to started counting Co Vehicles as a ‘taxable benefit’ but no one really paid attention to it and I think as long the ‘big money guys’ were taking advantage it would never be really enforced.
The DMV person would have been on an hourly rate and should actually work the hours he/she was paid for..
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I understand...I just threw that in as an example of the govt interfering with private business where it wasn’t any of there business.
Can imagine if ALL of those ‘out of town’ employees were to flood the area at lunch some wag would complain that the company should make arrangements for lunch or whatever...
Life is so unfair....s/
