I believe Elon was saying 90 percent of government employees are not showing up at offices weekly now. Is it possible, that many of these employees do not even exist, and their paycheck is all just going to enrich a handful of insiders?
Thus, demanding that everyone shows up to work would be a means of calling them out on their fraud.
With all the crazy @$&% we’ve seen the last decade I find it within the realm of possibilities. Not 90% but wouldn’t doubt a few may have figured ways to double dip or more.That possibilitiy had crossed my mind.
I remember a story about a state employee had not shown up to work in like 3 years, it was discovered when they went to go give him some award.
This freeloaders aspire to be like the Italian hospital employee that skipped work for 26 years.
I remember that story. Seriously wasn't he like employee of the year? What does that say about government? The best employee is the one that doesn't even show up? Lol
Stop the pay check deposits.
Bob Porter: I looked into it more deeply and I found that apparently what happened is that Milton Waddams was laid off five years ago and no one ever told him about it; but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department, he still gets a paycheck.
Bob Slydell: So we just went ahead and fixed the glitch.
Bill Lumbergh: Great.
Dom Portwood: So, uh, Milton has been let go?
Bob Slydell: Well, just a second there, professor. We, uh, we fixed the glitch. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it'll just work itself out naturally.
Bob Porter: We always like to avoid confrontation, whenever possible. Problem is solved from your end.
Yeah, make them show up in person to collect paychecks, and show IDs.
Not that crazy. It was quite common to have “ghost” workers in construction that didn’t exist, where they were paid just under the tax threshold, so someone could pocket the paycheque.
This sounds like something I heard on the Sopranos. They had no show jobs
Used to be very common.

That's not a stupid thought fren. They don't even know how many agencies there are. I'd say it's pretty likely there are people getting checks that we don't even know about.
Or people collecting from multiple departments.
They indeed do not in many cases. There is a difference between actual employees and how many FTEs are authorized. There is a pay and system in place at many agencies that takes the authorized salary $$ for employees authorized and not hired (and likely never will), and pooled as a performance bonus to all the other employees based on their annual ratings. They get a % from the pay pool as a annual bonus in Dec.
WTF?
Sauce?
Most agencies have some form of pay band system. That's a feature of the pay and system. It's designed to compensate for the agency inability to fill vacancies and reward employees that exceed the standards. What happens in reality is it encourages bosses to keep vacancies so they have a bigger bonus pool. This performance bonus runs parallel with the employees annual evaluations and annual pay increase (which is more frequent with a pay band as opposed to a regular GS employee that has 15 steps per grade level (to max out in your grade level it would take you 15 years).
Look up the AcqDemo (DoD).
A d no this isn't some inherently evil pay system. It's intended to be used to hire qualified candidates but the way it's employed is jacked and needs to be fixed.
I saw it happen at the local levels--ghost employees.
It would be an easy way to launder tax money.
Ghost employees on the payroll is an age old money skimming operation. I am sure there is some scam and skimming across multiple tiers of the government.
Employers pay a hefty NV State Unemployment Insurance. The state has had very low unemployment over decades since creating the fund and should have had a massive reserve. However, when the 2008 crisis hit, the state immediately went to the feds for loans to cover unemployment claims. Employers were subsequently hit with additional tax and new restrictions were applied for eligibility. What happened to the money? Wash, rinse, repeat...
I'm sure that your leaders felt they had better use for your hard work / money. That's now the harry reid's retirement fund for leftists.
The story about renaming the airport and Stephen Cloob3ck's involvement is quite interesting. Also, his home has a huge monarch butterfly.
Thanks! Another rabbit hole to check out.
The honey pot dig about the Only Fans girl who took him for no small change and then sued him is hysterical. He hangs with some pretty nefarious characters and has an ego to fill a stadium, so he's weak. It's his ghey brother, a lawyer, that is difficult to track. Their non-profit has the whiff of something very strange.
I feel quite confident that there is a bunch of this going on.
Duh.
100% sure that's the case.
Fraud stacked upon fraud with some skimming off the top for good measure. You cannot hate the old system enough.
I was thinking this same thing when Elon fired all of the Twitter staff and the company still functioned. They work from home because they don't exist and they are laundering the money.
Or one person being employed by multiple agencies, working 2-3 “full time” jobs?
Yes i have seen this pretty often
Let’s investigate where the pay checks are going. Someone is collecting them.
Yes.
Nah I have a sibling that lives in that area. She told me today there's still too many of them working from home. They are out in all the stores everyday but before COVID she said it was a lot quieter in the stores.
I like the way your mind thinks. I wouldn't be suprised to find out this is happening.
100%. This happens in many other government related spending. Especially ssi, ssdi. it should all be audited.
That's what I call a smart thought fren.
We can be sure that the fraud is so widespread that it will piss off even liberals. They'll be pissed because they were not included in the graft.
You're probably right but SOMEBODY's getting their paychecks.
The real issue will be the contract jobs. That's where you see fraud. Also, a lot of people who work multiple contract jobs but half ass it. Some literally do nothing but show up to the zoom calls.
oh, people get paid for their position but no one does anything except cash a check
I guess I am not devious enough. I hadn't thought of this!! Plus the "ghost employees" and the people "working" 3-4 jobs and just collecting the checks. All stuff I hadn't thought of. I would say DOGE and Elon have, since they are calling people in to the office. Wow.
I'ver had to work multiple jobs. Just saying
Interesting thought
Wow that's interesting
Pathetic! I would never even think up such a thing!
Temporarily do away with direct deposit and force them to pick up their paycheck, with ID. That would at least force a real person to be verified.
It’s ordinary for mafias to require businesses receiving protection to staff up with high salary no shows.
In my country, during the plandemic, the Social Security Department was issuing a weekly $175 to those that had lost their jobs! Mickey Mouse showed up on their official lists of recipients!
Its well within the realm of possibilities of Fed,gov scams
Dumb Thought is a dumb title
Because your idea is interesting and provocative
Good thought.
Or they are already in jail or witness protection and there are actors playing their roles...
Makes sense… good idea.
I believe it was a podcast with Michael Shellenberger where he states that one big problem with the government is that there is no such thing as a org chart. They (the agencies and departments) literally cannot tell you who works where.
Some Glitch in The System, so we just went ahead and fixed the Glitch.
