We went from saving lives with masks and vaccines that don’t REALLY work to mouse jugglers choosing to mix work with life. They are just as productive. It’s weird how some people cant let go of predispositions. Unless you work at the office 9-5 then answer emails and calls while with family till you are asleep and the again when you wake up you are not really working.
It is and one of the ways baosses do that is by auditing and investigating your work.
This should be obvious. Are you playing some semantic game.
—> The same techniques the Obama admin used to investigate and find time sheet fraud at the patent office
—> The same techniques the Biden admin used toinvesitgate time sheet fraoud among private contractors wiht ogvernment contracts
can now be used here.
Why is it sudenly createing so much reistance and confuions form the left.
Done once,
Done twice.
Down a dozen times and now suddenly (sputter sputter, gasp choke) “But how? how can you prove what you did last January? How cna you prove a negative”

If gov’t contractors can be caught, gov’t employees can be caught.
The government has a lot of experience,
a lot of practice,
doing time card audits of private contractors
(who are routinely caught and criminally prosecuted).
Time card fraud is illegal. Whether you are working a second job or golfing and claiming you are working.
That’s fraud.
I will say that it’s kind of ironic that Trump and his supporters care about fraud when it comes to working class people. When they voted for a 3 time fraudster for President.

All that is true but is working a second job actually fraud?
If not doing your job was a crime… ohh boy… or girl
All federal contractors use a timecard. It’s easier to catch them frauding. However most government civilians DO NOT use a timecard. So it would be a harder to catch them.
Headline…Trump does something: countless victims suffer.
Are we sure about that? Isn’t there a clock in and clock out in federal employment?
Speaking of which why can’t the government do what so many employers did. Require the installation of software to monitor work or force them to return to the office?
I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone to point out that the government already knows if you have a 2nd job.
It’s not illegal though to have a 2nd job. There must be evidence of fraud (getting paid to work somewhere else during work ours for the other job).
If any government employee is shown to have been working a second job on government time, immediate termination for cause is in order and referral to criminal prosecution.

Also something on your dinner table can kill you
I don’t know if that’s fraud. I understand that it fits the definition of fraud to some extent but i don’t know if it qualifies.
Not in most cases. They are salaried employees. Usually salaried federal government workers don’t need to allocate their time to specific job codes/contracts.
Federal government contractors DO need to allocate their time to a specific contract if they are “on task” working. Otherwise they charge to “overhead” aka they charge to the company they work for like Lockheed for example.
It’s entirely possible this whole series of investigations will reveal nothing.
Afterall, we have such great compenent nonpartisan inspectors general on the job every day.
They would never ever ever be alseep at the switch while the Dems gave no-show jobs, DEI jobs etc to their politcal buddies, would they?
There are no “jobs for the boys” in politics. In fact, how did that phrase ever catch on?

I understand what you are saying. I am just wondering whether there is clock in and out process regardless of being salaried or hourly
Being paid by Employer “A” for work during the hours of 0900-1700 and it being discovered that the individual was not doing Employer “A” work but actually working for Employer “B”? Ya, that would be fraud.
Now, if the individual worked for Employer “A” from 0900-1700 and then for Employer “B” from 1800-2200. Then that is perfectly fine.

Sure, your login and log out. You can also track when the computer is “locked”.
Which is why mouse jigglers are a thing but those are prohibited (blocked) on government owned computers.

i understand that it is legally fraud. But i think its Civil not criminal.
The more likely time fraud is saying you are working from 9-5 but from 12-3 someone posted you on instagram golfing.
I do believe that happened way more than someone working two jobs simultaneously
