I've worked with people like this, they rarely get caught. It's always the guy that busts his hump day in and day out, taking a sandwich or smoke break, that ends up getting his or her ass chewed.
These guys sit around 2 hours while the hard working guys wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning to clean are trash while these guys waste millions its stupid
Didn't even sound very convincing himself about rectifying the problem. He'll just ask his workers to be extra careful when slacking because it looks bad on all of them, including him.
Most garbage collectors are on task hours. They get paid for eight hours daily but if they finish their routes in 5 hours, they are technically done for the day but they hang out in the early afternoon to make it look like their route takes longer to run. They get their full shift pay and almost never work more that 5 hours. I know because I supervised sanitation workers in the past. It is part of their union contract and that is why they sit around in the afternoon.
not true. Anyone in a job that gets paid task hours, or union rules or such will simply finish their tasks under time then leave. They get paid for 8 hours no matter what, so if they get done early they are not going to hang around they are going to go home. The only people "hanging around" are those on hourly wage who are milking the clock to get paid for doing nothing. There is NO job that people finish their work and can go home and still get paid, and will just stay at work.
Exactly! Which is why unions are cancerous and useless...and so are their members, which is why they're in a union-they have no marketable skills and no discernable brain activity!
They are so lucky they can just chill and make money. I work in service repair and some days my dispatcher keeps calling to check up on me every 10 minutes, asking if I'm done because he has another call for me. I should have been a garbage man instead.
They made over $100k in overtime for the past 10 years. They could be making $35k a year plus $10k for OT. That doesn't sound as nice as saying "this guy made over $100k in OT.... " and the average veiewer would be asking... on top of their regular salary? Man, I'm in the wrong line of work.
What they need is a live dispatcher watching routes at all times till they all get back have different drivers run different routes and times, to see if they are running the same time
Different drivers will always finish at different times the routes will not take the same amount of time to finish every time either because some days people have more trash out than usual, traffic, or something breaks in the truck
So doing the math. $40 an hour x 40 hrs per week = $1600 per week x 52 weeks = $83,200 per year. If they received double time for Saturday and Sunday that would be $80 per hour x 16 hrs per week = $1200 per week x 52 = $66,560. $66,560+$83,200 =$149,760. This assumes the worker worked every single day of the year with a base wage of $40 per hour. The report stated they made $20 per hour. Where are the internal auditors?
That was an interview full of so many non-answers as I have never heard. And as for the one employee resigning, that was so that he/she could still work at another position within government.
You gave them a job that wasn't enough work then fired them for finishing it....that's a paradox if they are all telling you they are finishing early then your gonna fire them anyway when you realize you have to many
In Mineola , NY. , the former mayor , Jack Martins , then went on to be a senator . He made a deal to have the garbage taken to the NEXT county , instead of about 5 miles away . We were told it's cheaper . But , the crew of THREE ALWAYS goes for the ride and returns HOURS later ! So the dump FEE is LESS , but EVERYTHING else costs MORE !!!!!!
So what if the drivers take a break or go get some lunch with a buddy? They’re allowed two breaks and a lunch break, and how ever long they need to dump the load at the transfer station or landfill. There breaks are as long as an hour from what I’ve seen, so no issue for them to take a break. Crappy news source having a slow day, I guess
200k in overtime wow sign me in, this is rubbing in your face i work my ass off for 25k how can people get away without getting cought for so long have to be everyone was covering eachothers back
These are hit pieces done on the behalf of private companies who are angling for the contracts. If there are a few bad employees, they need to be fired, and the managers need to be in the field checking on their employees and coming up with more tasks that can been like roadside clean up.
It is still a commercial vehicle you get lunch breaks and two fifteen minute breaks these are hard working people , they are not sitting behind a desk all day...
The city needs to fire the department head, for not supervising and malfeasants. What was the department head doing when his employees were sitting around, watching the view?
It’s a known fact in my neighborhood do you work till the job is done and then if you finish early you still get paid for the full day it’s always been that way
@@robmoney4life exactly, you bounce. No worker that gets done early and will get the full day pay is just going to hang out at work, they go home. Only hourly people will stretch out the time to make more money doing nothing.
What!!!! This home Owner is liken to man giving bravery., if you can get it done for 200$ bucks here it is. Any homeowner knows that it cost way more than $200 to get your driveway paved. Jeez there is not honesty anymore not even on our older generation.
lets start out by saying this story sounds horrible right? but when you find out in the story these guys are only being paid $20 an hour, well thats why they are milking the clock!! lets be honest with ourselves, do you think that one of these guys can afford rent in an ybor or channelside apartment making $20 an hour? i've heard rents in these areas are currently $2500 a month! if they made the rent they wouldn't have anything left for food, fuel, a car payment, for life in general.
I see the trucks in my city stop and park, usually just for 30 minutes. pretty sure its cause they get a lunch break and are allowed to. This seems a lil different though, but who knows.
I’m a garbage man sometimes it is necessary to stop and take a break the job sucks; someone has to do it. Go after Congress and senate ranking in extra
In bigger cities, it's not feasible (logistically) to have multiple contractors for residential pick-up. Most will have one and commercial businesses will be left to the own devices.
I don't see a problem. How about the decades of back breaking no respect work collectors have been doing forever? It's their time now. As long as their routes are done and they have killed the open, do you.
Yes we all know how lazy union workers like Bunker are. They put in 2-3 hours of work a day then he crawls into a boxcar and napped for the rest of his shift or sits on his ass somewhere. We all pay the price for for incompetent union "workers".
First off watch your language bitch. Now you were right when you said "I don't work..." So you had to move a little snow or actually work once or twice. Lazy union slackers like you cost the consumer lots of extra money because of your lack of productivity. Bums like Bunker are the main reason companies have moved production off shore.
Let a undercover agent from the Majors office poses as a new person and record every thing. All those people found guilty should be fine and fired and served jail time.
I work in sanitation when the job is done it’s done there’s nothing to do but chill and to be honest I’m trying to move to Tampa and join Tampa solid waste
@@robmoney4life idk why people would raise such a stink... people make me sick like they don't fuck off at their job .. fortunately I work on my own now n come n go as I please having my own little business but these guys a bet didn't take 1 break until route was over like we always did
I'm under a tree lots of times and nothing has happened! I'm a pickup and delivery truck driver. I look for a spot where I can pull over and just relax(lunch and 15 minute break... 45 minutes altogether) after I have taken care of all my stops and my dispatcher doesn't have anything else for me to do. Or in some cases, when I have 2 or 3 deliveries, they send me pickups that will not be ready for 45 minutes to an hour.....so what can I do?
not the same as this. These people have routes, your a delivery guy you don't have routes, so you get to sit around and wait for the next call. If you were a route delivery driver you would be doing your route and not "waiting" for a call.
@eolsunder TRUE! I'm actually what they call SHAG driver. I'll be in one area one day, different area the next , and so on. If I had a route, I'd have maybe 15 stops ALL DAY long. A few deliveries and then pick up freight. I'd be on the move trying to unload my trailer. Then.....fill it up trying to help businesses ship out their freight
Lack of supervision and organizational leadership causes this kind of stuff which happens in all government operations. Whether its cops, bureacrats, customer service, parks, public works, doesn't matter one bit what Department. Your basic worker takes the path of least resistance every chance they get. You must have production standards of some type and a supervisor who holds the feet to the fire, fairly across the board.
I guess theyr we not allowed to take breaks? Is the news that slow there that all you can find to report about is this? While you were watching them did you turn your motor off or did you leave the car runnig?
i am paying for standard trash service at my apartment community , $11.00 a month in Ohio. it WAS included. are my taxes not paying for this service? 🤔
The sitting around for 90 minutes was bad but them stopping to get something to eat and drink or talking to other employees isn't what are they supposed to starve or get dehydrated
I guess garbage truck drivers are not human, so don't let them have a lunch break. Absolutely ridiculous! Have a heart people. BTW I am not a truck driver
MrBassMann Nothing wrong with stopping for meals as you are required to take a 1/2 hr lunch otherwise you get questioned by management why it wasn't done. Stopping for snacks is one thing, but it should be something already brought from home. I use to do this a laborer for WM in Port Charlotte Florida, but when the truck brakes down & your sitting there for more than an hour. What do people expect you to do, run with a broken truck. It just annoys me how the reporter has to pick on them for getting meals & when you meet up with another truck for lunch or more of them. It makes lunch more enjoyable than sitting there alone. I don't do it anymore as the hours were on & off as the hours were steady then not.
MrBassMann it ain’t nothing wrong with it, the problem, if you watched the video, was with workers seating in their trucks doing nothing for long periods of time!! Also making stops to purchase items when it wasn’t lunch hour, there is specific hours to take lunch/brakes and those workers didn’t seem to be following that rule!!
gcl 011 They should bring their own snacks & beverages but If they don't do if & management allows it to happen. You're basically beating a dead horse til management takes action. It happened when I worked as a laborer for a WM in Port Charlotte FL, but I would be like 5 minutes in & out sometimes 10 because of a line into the bathroom.
MrBassMan, Hey, DUMBASS, the narrator didn't say anything about stopping to get lunch! He said they wasted a lot of time in the AFTERNOON stopping to get meals and snacks! Try paying attention and actually HEARING what the man is saying. Are you saying you don't have a problem with these losers stopping on the side of the road for 2 1/2 hours when they're supposed to be working? Or how about heading back to the yard HOURS before their shift ends? If they were doing nothing wrong why did one of these workers resign and the other get fired? YOU don't see anything wrong with this because you are another lazy fucking loser just like the guys in this report.
I've worked with people like this, they rarely get caught. It's always the guy that busts his hump day in and day out, taking a sandwich or smoke break, that ends up getting his or her ass chewed.
Literally
Chewed for making the others look bad. Usually management because they could probably do their jobs, too.
Fuck that,I'll tell them to go fuck themselves!
Bigggggh facts
Because those guys aren’t connected
As the daughter of a trash man; this breaks my heart! My dad works his ass off, while others get to chill !
These guys sit around 2 hours while the hard working guys wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning to clean are trash while these guys waste millions its stupid
Stfu I'm sure your dad has done this also everybody does this 😆
Youre dad gets plenty of sit time
Could someone do the same for government officials? They practically do nothing all day
Exactly
BINGO!!!!!!
Dont piss off the garbage man , you need him more that you know

MrBassMan, Hey, DUMBASS, the narrator didn't say anything about stopping to get lunch! He said they wasted a lot of time in the AFTERNOON stopping to get meals and snacks! Try paying attention and actually HEARING what the man is saying. Are you saying you don't have a problem with these losers stopping on the side of the road for 2 1/2 hours when they're supposed to be working? Or how about heading back to the yard HOURS before their shift ends? If they were doing nothing wrong why did one of these workers resign and the other get fired? YOU don't see anything wrong with this because you are another lazy fucking loser just like the guys in this report.
