Dipping into 'candy bowl' can add up to 25% to paycheck
(Washington Post) Federal employees at the Department of Homeland Security call it the “candy bowl,” a pot of overtime money they have long dipped into to pad their pay even if they haven’t earned it, whistleblowers say.
This practice, which can add up to 25 percent to a paycheck, has become so routine over the last generation that it’s often held out as a perk when government managers try to recruit new employees, according to these accounts.
In a report submitted to the White House and Congress on Thursday, the federal Office of Special Counsel (OSC) details what it calls a “profound and entrenched problem” at DHS and a “gross waste of government funds.” Based on the testimony of seven whistleblowers, the OSC concludes that the pervasive misuse of overtime pay in six DHS offices, including four within Customs and Border Protection, comes to $8.7 million a year.

Thats because the people you want to do your dirty work has to be looked after because unlike everyone else,
I KNOW THEY WILL NOT ENFORCE THE DUMB ASS LAWS THEY KEEP PASSING IF YOU DO NOT LOOK AFTER THE ONES YOU WANT TO ENFORCE AND SCREW OVER IN THE END OF THE ENFORCEMENT...
BUT that is funny too, how the cops and DHS and all them will be on the sidelines like us getting a foot to neck after they are done killing us and shooting at us and enforcing the elites laws...
