Labor Dept Employees Watch Porn, Lie About Hours

Employees at the Obama administration’s Department of Labor look at porn on the job and lie about how many hours they work while the department gives out hundreds of millions of dollars in stimulus money to groups that can’t manage their finances.

As Obama works on his comedy career, his administration also doesn’t seem to care anymore.

“An OIG investigation involving allegations of accessing and viewing pornographic materials during work hours against a Grade 14 employee was completed in February 2015. The OIG substantiated the allegations and referred the matter to the agency for administrative action,” according to the department’s inspector general in a newly submitted semiannual report to Congress (p. 37).

What did DOL do about the porn-watcher? In our search for answers, The Daily Caller reached out to a DOL spokesman who did not respond to our inquiry. (RELATED: TheDC Was Banned From Talking To DOL For A While).

America still doesn’t know the name of the pornographic film the employee was watching. Was it called “PINK-O Stink-O”? “Head and Roses”? “Ass for the working class”? “An Injury To One Is A….[rest of joke redacted]”

Moving on.

DOL employees also lied about their hours to get taxpayer money they didn’t earn, according to the report.

“An OIG investigation involving allegations of time and attendance fraud/irregularities against three employees in the same office (Grades 14, 13, and 11) was completed in October 2014. The OIG found a significant number of inconsistencies between the start times entered on the employees’ official timesheets and the times when the employees actually entered the DOL headquarters building and/or actually began their work day.”

More lying…

“The OIG also found that one of the employees was not totally truthful during investigative interviews, and that another employee abused telework privileges as well. This investigation was a follow-up to a previous investigation in which the OIG found time and attendance inconsistencies and abuses involving another employee (Grade 12) in this office. All the OIG’s findings were referred to the Department for administrative action.”

Oh yeah, and the department gives out stimulus money to groups that don’t know what to do with it.

“We reviewed 186 single audit reports this period covering DOL expenditures of about $21.3 billion. These expenditures included about $861 million related to Recovery Act funding. For 37 organizations that received DOL grant funds, the auditors identified material weaknesses or significant deficiencies, indicating that improvements are needed in those organizations’ management of DOL funds and/or compliance with grant requirements.”
