Wouldn’t it be even crazier (but like our wonderful bureaucracies) if the money was going into a never-accessed bank account and the woman actually was earning a living elsewhere.
Well, now there’s a non-job opening!
I wonder if I can nontelecommute to not do this job from Dallas.
Well, since she is off the payroll now, is she eligible for her 99 weeks of unemployment pay?
So, does this job now count as being saved?
Should be fairly easy to find out at least one link in the chain of this fraud ...
... who signed her performance evaluations?
SOmeone being blackmailed? Who had she had an affair with?
With your political leanings they would never give you the job. Not that you could stand to steal money like that.
“The agency employs about 300 workers.”
299 or 301? Either way, how can the organization justify this many workers?
I once lived in an area (a US island) in which the local government workers also had a side business. For instance a government truck driver would be a taxi driver(tourist industry big). The truck driver would clock in and instead of getting in the truck would drive away in his cab. The government hired, purposely hired more government workers than they needed and paid them above the average. This was, probably is a well known racket.
It’s difficult to shake the feeling that all this righteous indignation is not over the missing funds but over the embarrassment to a load of bureaucrats.
Thank you Councilman Protogyrou. A recent theft of $80,000 from the local mass transit agency was going to go without prosecution.
Thankfully, word leaked out and that has now changed.
Two ex-HRT employees indicted over missing cash (80K, HRT executives chose not to prosecute)
Why are these government agencies so rife with corruption? Anyone? Bueller?
What is sickening is that their are federally funded
operations like this all over the country, usually under names like “Community Action Organization”.
The Feds supply the money for these operations that run free bus services, free cheese distribution, and whatever scams that suck federal funds.
I was contracted by one in Tennessee to provide radio communications services.
The waste and incompetence is mind staggering.
Exactly. She must have a yearly performance evaluation. Her direct superior was in on this. And if the boss changed over the years I would suspect a much bigger scam.
Well, wanna bet there are more phantom employees.
The money was going somewhere or to something, was she keeping the money or was she just a drop off point?
The management definitely had to know and accountants probably had to know as they signed off accounts.
The immediate supervisors are in a heap of crap because they are directly in the toilet.
Ironically, the fact that she was not doing anything to spend more of other people’s money on worthless projects may make her, comparatively speaking, a plus.
We call them “Ghost Workers”....every union run jobsite has them.....
Do a search on Alonzo McGlone, just for the heck of it!
Very interesting! It appears her husband is suing Wal-Mart for wrongful termination! I guess they exected him to actually show up! ( Actually, he was hired as a greeter and starting using a cane at work and was let go, just to be clear )
