It took four months after they learned an employee was spending hours on-line, surfing for pornography, before our erstwhile union slugs got around to canning the perv...and it was his second dismissal on those charges.
QuoteA Department of Labor (DOL) official looked at porn for hours every single day and wasn't fired for months.
The Daily Caller first reported that a DOL "Grade 14 employee" — who made between $107,325 and $139,523 per year on the taxpayer dime — was caught looking at pornography at work on his official government computer.
Now new information has emerged on the porn-watcher and his obsessive, libidinous habits.
The Daily Mail obtained redacted copies of DOL inspector general reports through a Freedom of Information Act request that detail the employee's self-confessed porn addiction.
The worker "downloaded a voluminous amount of adult pornographic movies and images," according to the reports.
He also "entered the name of actress Alyssa Milano on [his] computer and pornographic sites appeared."
His porn-watching was all-consuming. The employee "visited pornographic sites for several hours a day."
His habits were first noticed by a colleague in August 2014, but the employee was not fired for another four months.
DOL could have vetted the porn addict before he ever started getting taxpayer money. According to the reports, the employee was fired from a previous job for "accessing sites with women wearing little clothing."
Alyssa Milano, 42, was a regular on the television series "Who's The Boss" before appearing nude in films, according to the Daily Mail report.
It is unclear whether the employee ever pursued his work habit to completion.

I'm kinda surprised they fired him at all, there are all sorts of rules and laws that protect federal employee's....he could have went into the "troubled employee" program they have and spent 3 months going to therapy on the taxpayer dole, or he could have claimed that he was experiencing "anxiety attacks" brought on by job stress....lots of different scams.
If he can spend several hours a day surfing porn, I think there is at least one job that could be cut entirely from the Federal Government!
(Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to Google Alyssa Milano...)

This came up again recently at a congressional hearing on the VA mess. One of the managers said she didn't have the authority to fire anyone. Another problem is whenever there is a complaint, they have to have an investigation which drags out forever.

Has anyone at all been fired over the V.A. debacle?
:huh:
