Hundreds of Feds Caught Watching Porn at Work
Quote:Hundreds of federal workers have been caught watching porn on the job, including viewing child pornography, according to a new investigation.

NBC News 4 in Washington, D.C., identified over 100 "egregious" cases during the past five years where federal employees watched porn for hours during the day or required an inspector general investigation into their porn habits at work. The report relied on records obtained through Freedom of Information Act from 12 separate government agencies.

"The cases include workers who admitted spending six hours a day surfing illicit images and videos and maintaining tens of thousands of adult images on their office desktops," the report said.

The investigation revealed over 20 cases at the Justice Department during the past two years, and numerous cases at the Environmental Protection Agency.

The report includes the notorious case of an EPA employee in the Office of Air and Radiation who, while earning a $120,000 salary, watched porn between two and six hours every day, masturbated at work, and received bonuses.

Quote:The EPA employee was not fired and stayed on the payroll for years even though he had been banned from the building. He continued to receive his six-figure salary for two years after being caught, including a year of paid leave before he retired in April 2015.

"This is not just an isolated incident at one single agency," said Rep. Mark Meadows (R., N.C.), who is pushing legislation for a zero tolerance policy toward viewing pornography on government computers. "We're starting to find it across almost every agency."

New cases uncovered by NBC News 4 included another EPA employee in San Francisco who watched porn at work an average of two hours a day, and an EPA contractor in North Carolina who viewed porn for three to four hours a day.

It's time to make more room for much needed funds to pay for other things and fire these people. It's despicable.

Did the EPA fine him for an unauthorized discharge? Discharging without a permit?

Love to see a Reagan/ATC moment. But the union will clearly try to protect them from discipline.

They will probably file an unfair labor practice complaint claiming he was illegally observed during the workday.

I was doing a project at a government agency a few years ago and I noticed the panel system for their cubicles had extremely high panels (84"). The trend now is to have more open work spaces with low panels (42") to create a more collaborative work area. The person I was with said that the union would not let them use lower height panels, because (his opinion) the people in those cubicles wanted to be able to have more privacy to do what they shouldn't be doing.

I have a friend that caught his mail man umm...gratifying himself...in his mail truck while parked right outside my friend's house. A few months after it was reported the USPS let the guy retire instead of firing him.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE REGULATION, MOVE TO SOMALIA!!!

Unbelievable that there needs to be a law passed in order to fire bureaucrats for watching pornography on the job.

My first question would be "why aren't porn sites blocked on government computers"? I understand the FBI and some others need to monitor sites like these for enforcement purposes, but EPA shouldn't even be able to access it. It's easy to block.

Don't block anything. Punish them for misuse. Simple.
