The employee doesn't have to be here from 8/5, five days a week, yet he resigned. They are always lying.

@andrewmcnicoll4268 4 жыл бұрын

The one thing that's kinda screwed up, that the reporter didn't comment on, is that some Executive Assistants work much more than 40 hours, even if they're not working the stated 8-5. The woman with the two phones appeared to be one of those types and she pointed out she is required to be out of the office quite commonly. It's a weird position within city/state governments because they're technically regular employees (so they have to follow personnel rules) but their jobs are not the same as traditional salary employees. The first guy was obviously lying, but I wouldn't be surprised if the other woman is working most of her hours out of the office. The reporter was exceptional at stating that his review does not mean they were lying, but that their time sheets "indicated" they were working at the office (since personnel rules require it). It's likely some Executive Assistants, like the 2nd woman, are breaking telecommuting policies. Granted, the policies should probably be amended for someone in her position.

They resigned because of the political nature of their profession. They made the representative look bad, so now they gotta go. Thats why they exist in the first place. This style of ambush journalism isnt always effective, especially when it someone comes our of left field asking ridiculous questions. For example, imagine youre at work minding your business and someone runs in and accuses u of stealing money with a bunch of inconclusive evidence? “I saw you take that money” but in reality youre a cashier and its your job to take money and secure safely out of sight from customers. The point is this story is exactly that a “story” this reporter was not objective and added his opinion. Clearly this is an old reporter scared of being phased out running questionable stories that lack investigative integrity and all for clout. Its sad this was even televised.

Also, if they are on vacation than a note can easily be automatically sent from Outlook saying how long you are out for and who to contact if immediate assistance is required.
