California DMV worker snoozed on job 3 hours a day for about 4 years, audit finds
Fox News ^ | 7/25/18 | Bradford Betz

A California Department of Motor Vehicles employee slept three hours a day on the job for nearly four years-- all while her supervisors knew, according to a state auditor’s report released Tuesday.

And the employee still works there.

Between February 2014 and December 2017, the employee snoozed through an estimated 2,200 hours’ worth of work, costing California taxpayers more than $40,000, the audit said.

The worker, who was not named in the report, is a data operator responsible for updating information on address changes and new vehicle ownership forms.

The worker’s supervisors had been aware of her misuse of time but “failed to take disciplinary or medical action against the employee after initial efforts to address her conduct proved unsuccessful,” the audit said.

Getting paid to sleep. Where do I sign up?

The "worker" is either a minority, an illegal, or a relative of someone important.

4 Years, 2,200 hours of sleep on the job.

Wow, Obama must have been at least 4,400 hours of sleeping on the job for 8 years.

There was a person in the third category that routinely slept on the back dock every day for years.

He retired after decades in public employment.

Well what do you expect. How many times can you type Juan and not just fall over exhausted?

Wow! Give this guy a medal for working 5 hours a day.

That’s much more than anyone else in the DMV.

And the employee still works there.

So do her supervisors.

“And the employee still sleeps there. “

And her supervisor still has a job too1 The CADMV is a completely failed agency. I was at a reunion committee meeting last night and the conversation turned to “what DMV office do you go to where you don’t have to spend 5 hours or more to get a driver’s license renewal?” I’m in the Bay Area. One woman said she had driven all the way out to Jackson (in the Sierra foothills), which is 105 miles distant.
And now, thanks to our $hitball RAT government not dealing with “real ID requirements,” if you want to use your CADL to fly domestically, you are going to have to “renew” it, providing documentation to prove you’re a citizen! A Costco Membership Card is better ID than a CADL today.

That’s not news.

News is that a CA DMV employee was awake for 5 hours a day.

The good news is that when sleeping the female employee was not being surly and rude to people, screwing up their vehicle and license forms and mis-filing DMV records.

She probably helped her DMV office show an improvement in the quality and quantity of work being performed by only screwing up for 5 hours a day instead of 8 hours a day.

“The “worker” is either a minority, an illegal, or a relative of someone important. “

Yep, I had a black engineer assigned to me on my government project. He billed over 40 hours per week and I logged him in for less than 30 hours per week. I went first to the employee and he had some notion that he was a professional and didn’t have to account for his time. When I pointed out that he did, he called me a racist. I reacted like I’d been slapped. I went to our boss and was told, yes, everyone knew about his shirking, but he was the only highly compensated black and he could do whatever he pleased. I said, that’s fine, but not on a charge number I’m responsible for. I finally got him moved off my charge number and they put him on overhead as a “diversity coordinator.” That actually lasted quite a long time, until we had a major layoff. I got laid off before him, but they did, finally, lay him off too. But by that time, they were down to a skeleton staff. Funny, if they’d tried to cut down their overhead, they’d have kept a lot more good people on the payroll.

There was a black technician where I worked years back. He ran a personal TV repair business from work, using his employer’s time, resources, equipment, and parts. He relied on his black friends on the guard force to let him bring anything in or out past the gate, something that would have gotten anyone else fired, or at least in trouble. He was untouchable. I suspect he did free repair work for his bosses.

My mother passed away at 100+ years old. Her CA Driver’s License was good until she would have been 105.
