You know he isn't the only one doing it, he's just the only one they caught.

If only the media dug into real government like this.

Yeah, he "retired" because he threatened to take every other slacker with him if he were to be fired without being allowed the option to retire first.

This happens at just about all levels of government.

Other employees, including his boss, surely knew what he was doing. They looked the other way because they do the same to some degree. The ONLY reason they had to go after this guy is that a neighbor made a formal complaint.

if you guys want to see more stories like this, watch Congress

That’s what happens when you are an ahole to neighbors. Whoever ratted him out got their revenge.

He’s probably one of those dudes who constantly talks about how busy he is too lol

Lol a government employee ripping off the same government ripping off the people. yep sounds about right.

Well, he found a radioshack, that is pretty impressive inspection work.

I worked on local government jobs and I saw this a lot. If you said anything you were told don't rock the boat, you will be the one pushed out.

When I worked for the City of Dallas in the Building Services Department, I saw this kind of stuff happening all the time. We had to punch a time clock, so we had to be at the shop at starting time and quitting time. Every morning we would pick up the work tickets for the buildings our area and then drive out to them in our city work trucks. There was never much maintenance to do each day and I could usually be done in just a few hours. But, we were told specifically to NOT come back to the shop until quitting time! The boss said it looked bad to have employees sitting around the shop waiting on work tickets. Some employees went to strip clubs, some went home and some just parked somewhere and napped. I would go to my assigned buildings and visit with employees there, to see if any preventive maintenance was needed. That's why I had so few work tickets. My most visited buildings were libraries and fire stations. I could check out books to read (I'm an avid reader) or eat lunch with the firemen. Some of those guys could've been professional chefs!

The irony is that it's way more of a pain in the ass to act busy than it is to be busy. Lol

damn this dude must spend like 200$ on food everyday

This has got to be the first time that a reporter is showing proof of a wrongdoing and not continuously using the word "alleged". Must be an accident.

gas was 2.95 and they had a radio shack...be hard pressed to find either one these days, that's for sure

If you actually did this to all of our public officials we wouldn't have any of them left. They ALL do things like this on a daily basis.

Isn’t this the life of a typical politician?

I mean to be fair there’s only a certain amount of repairs available in a given week, what you see is a tired old man who’s progressed beyond the exuberant young inspector and into the “repetitive work that trickles in infrequently” Nobody in their right mind is going to drive back and forth to the same lights “which have no issues” day in and day out He waits for a repair call, goes and fixes the issue and waits for the next repair call. Imagine if a private investigator documented all the time you guys spent changing your playlist or messaging your significant other, you’d be chopped too.

This is 90 percent of govt workers not just Ken. Ken is just a good example of what we really pay for

They’d see me sparking my blunt 😂 eating Taco Bell lmao

Boss wasn't doing much bossing if he had an employee like that. Maybe he should be replaced too

If you’re wondering what your co worker does all day, you don’t have enough work

The real question here is why the neighbor was watching his house long enough to know when he was and wasn't home, and why did he care enough to tell?

Still he works more than the average city employee

I've worked as a state employee in three different states and I can tell you that this type of behavior and worse is commonplace. The stories I could tell....

There's always down time. The secret is not to get caught. I never took my company vehicle home during the day. I worked for a telecom company. So it wasn't unusual to see our vehicles all over the place. We did maintenance (pre paid service) time and material (we charged) and installation (if the job was quoted at 100 hrs. You try to do it in 40-50 hrs). I was even told by more than 1 supervisor just try to look busy. Todays generation aren't use to NOT being micro manage. We were given a lot of leeway as long as the job got done and the customer was happy.

Man’s a legend

Damn got snitched by your neighbor. Must not have a good relationship with them.

When i grow up i wana be just like him... My hero

I was a public works supervisor and I had this one guy whom I had 'inherited' - 20 year plus employee, functionally illiterate, who was our designated lawn mowing person though out our tiny town. Any job to be done, he had it figured out to how much time it would take, in hours and would tell me. Town had a population of 800, so it's not that big. I had just installed radios in all of the vehicles to make it easier to locate people in the field if someone needed help. One day myself and the other two workers were at the shop trying to figure out where he was. We each tried calling him on the radio - no response. After 20 minutes we gave up the search. About 45 minutes later he calls back (on the radio) asking me if I had called him! The other 2 employees and myself had been together in the shop during most of this time. We looked at each other laughing our asses off, with him giving us a blank look in return. Now if this had been done on the cell phones; (which he didn't have and couldn't operate) I could see this response to a 'missed call'. I busted him right there and then saying; 'You heard us calling on the radio, and chose not to answer'; 'Do you see the word STUPID tattooed on my forehead?' He got his verbal warning and was much better about replying after that. Filed under 'you can't make this up'.

I had a supervisor like him, he would go home and do welding jobs for his side gig and never around when you needed his help, we call those people dead weight.

He was doing his inpections. He inspected Lowe's Radio Shack, McDonald's , Best Buy, Circle K, various hardware stores, Taco Cabana. I say that was a pretty productive day😁

5:06 what's in the plastic bag?? Hiding dope in locked boxes around the city is perfect idea.

Must be nice huh Im over here working 12 hour days killing my self just to feed my family and provide a comfortable living space . I guess I’m jealous who wouldn’t want a gig like that

Retired with full retirement for doing nothing! I'm not talking about this guy I'm talking about our politicians!

Kenneth Sanchez likely engaged in this type of behavior for some time, possibly many years, and he will spend his taxpayer funded pension and retirement living the high life while individuals who committed less egregious offenses spent time in prison, and the taxpayers who paid his salary and will pay for his many years of retirement work themselves to exhaustion and may never be able to truly retire. Kenneth Sanchez is despicable. Rips off the public while an "active" public employee, and now gets to rip off the public for his retirement without consequence. Remember this the next time some public official tells you they have no choice but to raise taxes.

Then he goes from councilman to mayor 😂

Sounds like a good job👍 Will see how to get in!

It’s so nice that someone is checking government employees!!! HOPEFULLY THERES SOMEONE WHO WILL BE CHECKING ABUSES OF UNIFORMED MEN AND WOMEN!

How can afford to eat 30 times a day?

This guy does a lot of shopping. Wow.

You ever see 7 workers standing around a small hole on the side of the road? There’s at least 5 of this guy in that group. 😂

And this is news? This happens everywhere , all the time with public employees. They drive around with a tree branch and an orange cone in the pick up all day. Tough job

You almost gotta hand it to this guy. I expect many workers to find creative ways to avoid doing some work but this guy takes it to another level.

I've worked for a large public utility for 35 years. I've been in the Dispatch side for 20 of those years but when I was in the field I used to tell the apprentices and new guys that it's only 8 hours of your day. Plan all your personal stuff on your own time. Work is for work. I used to pack my lunch and take my breaks exactly on time and for the exact time never more and really....thats a pretty damn good job compared to farm work that I grew up doing. Some people will never figure that out.

I've seen fast food workers that work harder than this guy and some of them don't get paid enough for the kind of work they do.

This shit goes on all the time,,,Damn at least hide the damn truck🤦🏽‍♂️

These guys all do this shit they're just not getting caught.

Shit this video shows him doing more work than any county worker I’ve ever seen most of the time there’s eight of them leaning on a shovel and one man in the hole

different situation, but it reminds me of a Chief Master Sergant in my squadron when I was in the USAF. He would roll in about 10 am, then go to lunch, then go to the base gym then go home about 2-3 pm. If it was Friday, then he would hang around in his office til about 4, then head to the golf course snack bar and drink pitchers and pitchers of beer with my commander and some of the people in my squadron that weren't scheduled to work on Fridays. Good memories!

He's one of thousands, maybe millions of deadbeat employees. Yesterday I saw a guy sleeping in a governments ban with the engine running, I'm sure for the air conditioning. When I came out of the business I went into about 1/2 hour later, he was still sleeping. I doubt he would be on a lunch break at 9:00 o'clock in the morning, plus with high gas prices, why would somebody leave the engine running like that for so long?!

He retired. From what? Fast food? One word: Government!

I'm sure a lot of people are guilty of this. It's just most of them don't have reporters spying & following them.

How come nobody ever secretly films somebody and then goes on rant cause they are working too hard and need a raise.

Back at my first job at Walmart, I knew three people that would camp out in the bathroom for 2 hours total & just doze off. 😂

How does an investigation stop just because he retired? He committed fraud, endangered people's lives, he should be in prison

What's orange, costs $175,000, and sleeps three? A county truck!

this is literally the best piece of public television ive seen in a while, god it feels like im back in 2007

Bro.... If this is called "loafing" and if that got him fired, then PLEASE PLEASE fire every manager, supervisor, CEO, school principal etc.... Any and everyone who has a job that allows them this freedom, does this exact thing at work.... I've seen in it in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kansas, Kentucky, Wyoming, Washington, Utah, etc... I've worked Around the states and the "loafers" are all around... Let that man go and let him continue doing what he's doing cause everyone else does it they just won't admit it.... Even your precious president "sleepy Brandon" is a fucking loaf

This dude spends alot of money per day. He must have a good Retirement plan

The OG of the “dirty sanchez”. 🤣😂😅

He strapped on his golden parachute and easily glided into a comfy retirement. Their pensions are untouchable. It’s so wrong!

Every employer on the planet has people like this. They don’t accomplish much, if anything, and still collect their pay and benefits. Give them a vehicle and a position where they don’t have someone holding them accountable and they will do even less (if that’s even possible).

That man is living the dream.

Anyone else click this cuz they were wondering what loafing was?

This is a perfect example of why managers want people back at the office after the pandemic.

Can't believe they gave up the tip information? Although not specific, it alerts him that some neighbor isn't his friend. Unusual!

Can someone please explain to me why all of this information can be gathered for the traffic light division employees but when documents or information is requested on police officers is always a "personnel matter"?

they always retire. no penalties. full pension. wtf.

The guys on call waiting for lights to repair , follow most people all day and they dont do much either lol

This guy visits pretty much all Fast Food restaurants in his community

lol i need to get a gov job

What most people don't understand is that lying on a time card is called "theft from an employer" and is a criminal charge. It also makes you unable to get a bond by most bonding agency's.

I once told my boss I was the only one working. You know what he said. I don't care who does the job just as long as it's done. Useless👎

Just fire him instead of following him around acting like the FBI.

Nothing wrong with him. Standard behavior for city worker. Why dont they leave him alone

I believe him about the overtime. They probably stuffed him on the pay, so he decided he’d get it back somehow. I worked for a city before for over 15 years, as a youth worker. When a union was brought in. All of us long timers found out that we had vacation, sick and sick time that they never told us about. I was in a really bad accident one year, and when I took time off. They never paid me, because apparently “” we don’t have sick time.” It was a complete lie!!! I wouldn’t of done it this way, but good for him. I hope he enjoys retirement! We also had overtime, which we never received as well.

Their needs to be more accountability like this in Citys by the new investigation including police departments. As for me, I work for a City hovernment for 14 years and had never ever seen anything like this abuse, but I did witness Workman Compensation Fraud and reported it. I hope this individual was fired because it reflects badly on public employee's.

the most shocking part of this report is that there was a radio shack still open then..

No matter what town public employees do this all the time.

To me sounds like everyone else is jealous of his job

This man is so passionate I can hear the pain in his voice that’s how I feel too

Wow they made like a whole unsolved mysteries episode out of this. Dude was just skipping out on work not burying a body

How come the black guy seemed like he was fighting back the tears? You'd think Sanchez had ditched work and murdered people on the clock by his reaction

I would have taken him to court to get back our tax paying money if you did not do that you are just as guilty

If you think he's the only one doing that in just that one city, yer in for a rude awakening.

My supervisor takes his lunch break at the casino buffet and than goes down to the sports book for a few. When hes ready he comes to the sight to make an appearance than it's off to finish "paperwork for the day" .

"He goes home for an hour and 15 min" = online porno. 🤔🤔🤔 This is the fault of his supervisors, who apparently have their heads up their asses. Been there, done that.

I bet he filed for unemployment after got fired. Then got to kick it a home and get paid still.

Nice of Ken Sanchez to retire rather than be fired.

Sanchez Penalty should be : a big fine, fired and Jailed. ASAP.

Most city employees ride the easy gravy train.Most jobs like these you have to know someone usually politically connected..

We all low key want this job

What ? He wasn’t arrested, heavily fined and somehow was able to retire? I’m sure keeping all accumulated benefits. Disgusting.

I know of some people in my town like this, I call them "check collectors ", they NEVER do thier jobs they just pretend and collect their check while many many services never get done. Pathetic

Boy he’s really busy I didn’t realize loafing was so much hard work 😓

Our city manager used to golf during his shift. He just retired. No one ever told him anything…..

A classic he didn’t give them the chance to fire them

dude was caught doing a drop lololololololololol
