This is unreal - from Hot Air:
Billion-dollar ObamaCare contract pays people to do … nothing?
What kind of business could possibly survive by simply hitting refresh buttons every 10 minutes while no business comes across their desks? If you guessed public sector, congratulations, and claim a bonus for specifying ObamaCare. St Louis’ KMOV News looked into an ObamaCare contractor with a billion-dollar contract after hearing employee complaints that the well-motivated workforce is getting paid to do nothing — a whole lot of nothing (via Daniel Halper):
“A billion dollar government contract involving hundreds of local workers at an Obamacare processing center … But now employees on the inside are stepping forward, asking, Is this why we’re broke? Some of them claim to spend most of their day doing nothing,” reports a local St. Louis reporter.
The contractor is called Serco and local reporter discovered that, despite there not being any work to be done, the government contractor is still hiring.
"The company is still hiring,” says a local reporter. “A current employee wonders why … After providing proof of employment, this Serco employee agreed to speak through the phone with their voice altered. The employee says hundreds of employees spend much of the day staring at computer screens, with little or no work to do.”
The reporter asks the employee, “Are there some days where a data entry person may not process one single application?”
“There are weeks when a data entry person would not process an application,” the employee responds.
The reporter explains, “The facility is one of three Serco locations that process paper applications, people seeking to qualify for insurance.”
“It’s no secret, the rollout for the website was a mess. But now that the website is running, this employee says the paper applications are trickling in less and less. Our employee doesn’t appear to be the only one complaining. On April 16, a person claiming to be a former Serco employee posted this online, ‘This place is a JOKE. There’s nothing to do–NO WORK.’”
And this is just one location of one government agency. How much money do these people have to piss away before We the People get ticked off enough to clean house...
