WORKER SPENDS 39 OF 82 HOURS ON THE JOB WATCHING PORN

Baltimore city officials revealed a Department of Public Works employee was fired after spending 39 hours of an 82-hour work period watching porn. Officials received an anonymous complaint about the worker in August of last year, and monitoring software installed on the man’s work computer found he spent 39 of the 82 hours he spent working in a two-week period watching a pornographic DVD on the computer. One one occasion, the worker – a maintenance supervisor at a wastewater treatment plant – spent nearly seven hours of his eight-hour work day viewing the DVD. The report said the DVD was being played in full-screen mode, leading investigators to determine that “little to no work was being performed during the time that pornographic material was visible on the screen.” Pearre said the 39 hours the man spent watching the DVD were worth about $1,166 of the worker’s salary. He said the man was fired for violating a city policy using city time and equipment for non-city functions.
* He also tried to get worker’s comp for a sore wrist.
* This is shameful. Uhm – do we know the name of the DVD?
* A wastewater treatment plant? So they wanted him to keep his eyes on a DIFFERENT kind of garbage.
* The same DVD? At least hit the Internet and get some variety.
* The crazy thing is he still doesn’t know how the DVD ended.
* Great, it would have to be Baltimore right now.
* He stopped at 39 hours? Maybe it was a week on-week off kind of thing.
* Or maybe it was a week of getting off.
