- David Goldstein found a group of DWP employees eating breakfast little more than an hour-and-a-half after they clocked in.
"We'll look in to this."
6 years later: They never looked in to it, they never did anything about it.
Serious? Let's get city jobs
Democrats never stop corruption. Americans need to stop voting for them!
Exactly like the police. Thin electrical linesmen !
@@fredboucher8689 lineman make 250k a year lots of o.t. you would need a wife that's cool with you working like a slave of be single
stop fking hating......join the DWP. The mayor looks like he does the same thing....
100 bucks says they all still work for DWP.
Joshua Upham I believe you!
Joshua Upham and why wouldn't they?....
Yes and your taxpayers will cover the health insurance they will need after the heart attacks from eating out twice a day
Joshua Upham yep
The pensions are not covered by taxpayer dollars they are covered by ratepayers DWP is not A4 tax organization it creates Revenue just like any other business by charging you and also they're a pretty much a utility so they have protected territory they tried to deregulate years ago Edison many other companies went bankrupt so those of you that live in DWP territory sucks to be you
I’m actually dead that they dragged that man for eating two large meals lol
there's more to it actually but what ever
He was a hobbit tax leacher, fuck him.
Me lmao. So funny they said remember his face haha
he barely put in 2 and half hours before he needed to eat again
I love these videos lol
I know what I want to be when I grow up, DWP employee.
You work for dwp now?
So, you envy these pos's?
Lmao
Hey bro we need to know are you dwp worker? Can I join I'll cook breakfast 😂
Why don’t you do a investigative report on law makers who approve the bills and see if they put in a full days work...... they’re the biggest crooks out there ....
Kitty Oreo I highly agree.
You wouldn't be able to handle just how corrupt and evil your society truly is, thats why they limit how far they show it goes.
Those state law makers are part time - they are nothing like these clowns - why do you not care when folks steal from you? Thought ppl like you hated the swamp?
Amen to that
I know people who take 3 hour breaks while others slave away unloading trucks 😂😂 become your own boss life is never fair.. not even getting into discrimination lmfao
They must make really good money to afford to eat out two times a day
Pangoner they make really good money
20-30$ isn't unaffordable with a decent budget or decent job.
Hillary Clinton did someone named Hillary Clinton dare to say " our money"! outrageous.
You can't afford to eat out at a Chinese restaurant twice a day?
At least 25-30 bucks an hour!
Damn anyone's dream job. No wonder it's hard a/f to get hired. SMH!!!
they are in the union
Guillermo Munguia it’s every city employees dream job. Too bad they only hire friends and family only
@@anarchypanky93they hired me. I didn’t have friends or family. It would help if you take a lineman’s training course first. Got to get a certification that you can climb, and learn some of the trade.
DWP= Down with pancakes
Gary Ko
That is so true
don wilson DWP= Don Wilson's Pleased. 😁
don wilson u Aswell.
DWb= down with burgers
Thanks ihob

"investigation" = "nothing will be done about it but it sounds like it will"
Marc JustMarc Didn't they just show an investigation? Not good enough unless they waste more money investigating by themselves. Maybe plant a few government employees at the diner for a couple of months?
Nothing will be done about it. Why? Because most politicians and government workers are in on it. Basically, supervisors don't want to go around firing workers for not doing their jobs, taking extra long breaks, leaving work early, having redundant job positions, getting paid way too much for what they do, etc., because it's exactly what most supervisors and the people above them do. Government, it's a sweet gig.
all city and Government workers do the same thing.
Francisco Fierro
Yep, its the same everywhere ! Unions breed uselessness and incompetance !
Francisco Fierro I must be different... state employee, but I only get a 20 minute lunch break on a 12.33-15.33hr workday... although I don't live or work in California...
Not all goverment workers are like that! Its like saying all private workers work hard and thats far from true either. Its all what the individual puts in and thats it.
No we dont!
Francisco Fierro around here it seems all they do is drive or sit around all day
I rarely see them do anything
This still happens alot in Santa Monica right next to my job everyday. I see uniform officers and Public works all parking illegally and eating every morning while on the job.
You should ask them, " when are you going to start working?"🤔
@@mayhemjr.803 because the cops would shoot you saying you had a gun
@@ianherp5678 a little paranoid, don't you think?🤔
@@mayhemjr.803that's the joke
@@ianherp5678 I wish I could tell you how chicago pd works to get innocent people put in prison. I lost respect for police .
A good Mobile Device Management installed on equipment would solve this problem. And then a supervisor that pays attention to where the employees are and punishes those who take advantage of the system.
The union won’t let that happen
Are they hiring? I love Chinese food.
The Salesman, they’re always hiring. Come on down and take the test.
I never even considered Chinese food as a breakfast. They woke af.
I know I love working 3 hours and getting paid for 8
Guessing there are some job openings now after this news story....
The Salesman probably but are u Chinese? If not u may not get hired.
The union will protect them, that is why they pay protection money.
No performance reviews, guaranteed rates and protection all at the expense of rate payers
Kevin Schmidt union members get performance reviews. You're talking out of your ass.
Not the ones at my company and even if they do NOTHING is tied to it so doesn't matter
Kevin Schmidt well that's lame. They should be tied to raises and promotions and just so a person can know what people think of their work. I don't feel good unless my work is impressive.
Should a union not protect them? That kind of the function of a union. Suspend these guys without pay for a few days and they'll learn their lesson. They're not murderers. Just slackers who need to be reigned in.
If you want to clock in and eat breakfast, be a security guard. 😂
They need to fire those workers to make an example out of them.
In the Chinese soup guys defence, everyone knows that an hour after eating Chinese food your hungry again, Lmao
Andre Landry Only greedy fat slobs do that. Asians don't eat three meals before noon.
eating Chinese food is like having sex with a hooker, it seems like a good idea at the time, but you are sorry as soon as you are done. but that's what I hear anyway, I don't eat Chinese food lol.
that is why he has to eat again.
I like Asian food but that's a lunch, dinner item. Not breakfast. 🥡.
Hahahaha 🍺
Who eats Chinese food for breakfast?
RedLight GreenArrow People in china ? 😉
RedLight GreenArrow ... fat slobs who work for the government
RedLight GreenArrow better than cold pizza 🍕 🙄
Hey, egg foo young is just an omelette.
DrinkwithaMexican Most Chinese people do not eat what we consider as Chinese food for breakfast. Rather they eat eggs, and sweet items, bacon etc, similar to an American breakfast. It’s breakfast nobody eats orange chicken or beef broccoli for breakfast!
Chinese food places are open for breakfast? That should b the real investigation here......those fish flavoured waffles are to die for I heard. Who ever woke up and thought of Chinese takeout?
Merica’
Dirk Diggler I've had tacos, burgers, pizza, spaghetti etc or eat breakfast foods at dinner time so Im definitely not dawging anyone who does. It's just never crossed my mind. For some reason I'm just used to eating in evening. Here in Canada Chinese food places don't even open untill lunch....
Dirk Diggler good to know. It's usually my go to drunk food. I'll save some for the morning now. And We dream of being Cali out here..I'm going one day before I'm did... Lolol take care
Dirk Diggler u mean vitamins? I've heard lots of sketchy meat utilizing practices but I hope theres no victims in my kung pow
You get kinda spoiled being a DWP worker and get bored of eating what the average shmucks eat.
They "can face anything from a suspension to a firing..." but they won't actually "face" anything. I'm sure that "someone" looked into it and found no evidence of wrongdoing.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day lol
So is lunch......and dinner..... and midnight snacks..... and diabetus
Can't lie about that!
Yep. But why not get your lazy ass up early enough to eat at home? Isn’t that what the rest of us do?
Serving it up Gary's way
Not according to dwp 😂😂
The parking guy rated them out cold lol
Melvin Luna id be mad too. work for the same boss (the city) but get different perks.
He is fired now. They don’t like snitches
Isn't the parking guy the one caught in a scam about parking his cars for nothing one of them for 8 years.

2 T’s Melvin “Ratted”
CALIFORNIA HAS A WORK ETHIC CODE THAT GOES LIKE THIS. WORKERS GET PAID TO WORK 40 HOURS PER WEEK. THIS INCLUDES A STANDARD 10 HOURS PAID MEAL BREAK, 5 PAID SMOKE BREAKS, 3 TWO HOUR PAID GROCERY SHOPPING BREAKS, AND 6 HOUR PAID TOILET BREAKS. THIS IS PER WEEK. AND IT IS OKAY TO CLOCK IN VIA PHONE IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN OUT OF BED YET.
Huh?!? If this were true then it would not have become home to Silicon Valley and the birthplace of some many startups. There is actually a truly killer work ethic here, people work too many hours and hustle so hard it creates a work/home life imbalance. Not to mention the thousands of 'pickers' that come here to get the rest of the U.S. their fruits and vegetables which are largely grown here. Sooo you are way off base. Maybe it's different for city employees or the like, but it's certainly not the norm or a state wide work ethic. I've been here 50 years and never been around this type of behavior as a norm, just individuals occasionally who are slackers..
We will investigate ourselves, thank you.
Whew! That was exhausting to watch. I’m gonna need a break and a snack ...
Awesome investigating journalism!
They need to investigate the DMV! That place is a clusterfuck of people just doing nothing but making your visits take hours, while they chat away on their phones.
I don't think I could eat Chinese food and then slam a big burger and fries a couple hours later... I would feel like trash all day. Lol
4:39 the smirk on that mayor's face tells me all I need to know. Nobody is gonna be held accountable!!
Seeing this is just a taste of the powerful force for good that the media could be. Sadly this is the ‘less than one percent’.
Bahaha,this goes on in every city in every state!
I work for LADWP, and this kind of abuse pisses me off! Very few employees do this, and the few that do, and get caught, give the department, and all employees, a bad name.
I hope these jackasses got more than a slap on the wrist!
They knew what they were doing was wrong, and they got caught! Good work!
Yeah,no…
Bologna. More are lazy nepotistic hires than not. Laborer in local 589 for 5 years. Entered as a JOURNEYMAN at 24 because I worked from 10 years old on and knew my shit. I was first or second ON EVERY JOB I ever got. I did anything asked of me. I never complained. I would work on holidays, off the clock, through breaks.....I wanted permanent hire and never got close. Never advanced on the list. Why? I didn't kiss enough ass or use my family name to get preference. I watched dudes who did jack shit all day on a job site get job after job because they were either friends or family of the unions head here.....don't you tell me that it's a minority pulling this shit. I have seen otherwise.
Thoe "bad names " really hurt
@LG Leblanc it's sad. We get the laziest and softest in jobs where the opposite is necessary. This is one reason why this countries infrastructure is currently trash
@LG Leblanc guys like us want to work hard and care about the job we do and are therefore punished for it. Makes sense right?! 🤦🏻
Legend has it that they still enjoy a healthy big breakfast right after clocking in up to this day and the new rate increases are here to stay so either way, tax payers are screwed. Lol
He should investigate
CAL Trans, Spectrum Cable and SCE....all crooks
Give me a frigging break. These are the same guys that get up at 1:00 in the morning to fix a water main break or work a 20 hour day to repair the substation some border jumper drove his stolen car into running from the cops. Guys like this across this nation do more for paying customers off the clock and unpaid than anybody complaining. Gauranteed. Who in the hell cares if they grab some chow before they bail your sorry asses out.
Hard day at work. Phew ! that was hard chowing down that big bowl.
Greatest place on Earth to work can't beat the pay or benefits
Sounds like totally inept supervision and management, leading all the way to the Mayor's Office.
They all should be fine and fired and sent to jail, including the Mayor.
Great job Goldstein. Keep exposing these crooked employees taking advantage of our hard earned money.
Myself and a few employees were just talking about this the other day. Our boss said we can't stop at the donut shop for even 5 minutes once we clock in and hit the road,he said it isn't right. Look,I can completely understand if you're doing what they're doing or going to sit down at freaking shoneys for half an hour or more which is completely understandable. I'm a grown ass man and we bust our asses all damn day for not really good pay yet we also keep our mouths shut and we produce productivity every single day and always get everything done. Yet we can't stop by and even grab something in the morning from a store for seriously like no more than 5 minutes?? Pshhhhh,like hell I can't and like hell I won't. We ask for 1 simple thing and oh by the way,we hardly ever take the 30 minute lunch we get much less the 2 15 minute breaks we get as well. Companies are becoming stupid.
Amen
these workers are getting primo pay and benefits, while only working about 3 to 4 hours a day.
beyondsand we don't call those people workers, they haven't earned that. We call them slackers for the sake of semantics.
Don't be mad at them for lucking into a gravy job.
DrinkwithaMexican $90k a year isn't considered primo? LOL. Look out guys we have a RUclips millionaire here!
DrinkwithaMexican Okay, whatever you say RUclips millionaire. $90k is a great salary and they're probably putting in 4 hours a day of actual work for that kind of money.
You are either a kid or you're just some sort of weird maladjusted adult. Either way you are hilariously stupid.
DrinkwithaMexican This is how I know you are either a kid with no actual concept of money or just a sad and lonely adult who likes to make himself feel better about his self-worth on RUclips to complete strangers.
You should change your username from the super hilarious "DrinkwithaMexican" to "RealRUclipsMillionaire". Then people will really know you're a big shot! Go get em' tiger!! Don't bother replying by the way, you aren't worth anymore of my time. Later Bill Gates!
This starts at the top down. The reason they thought they could do it and get away with it is because their bosses do it.
Time for the department to place trackers in trucks and monitor the places where they go .this way they check the log book on each truck where they go and how long there there for
Most city and county already have gps , I know bc I work for county . And they never check . Like ever
Thats stupid and yet the county want more money from the people .for what waiting money on losers robbing peoples money they all need to be accountable. Fire them
Some day I too wanna work for the government!
This is how the news should be
'I asked the Dept to vigorously investigate this. We'll be meeting over breakfast."
BIG HATIN!! can't even finesse the system in peace! 😞😭
wow and to think that there are people without a job that would love a job at the very least and not take advantage of it.smh....
I won't say who I worked for but I've seen this type of city workers giving themselves long breaks and even sleeping for hours while on the clock at City of Inglewood
stryker7x The City of Carlsbad...
stryker7x Buying beer in a City vehicle...
Happens all the time
They now have cut down their 1 hour breakfast to 30 minutes and their 2 hour lunch to 1:30.
When all together, they should only be taking 1 hour.
It keeps happening. That's for sure.
How can Garcetti smirk and almost smile?
Poor quality management. They know damn well some crews are not productive because they have good crews that are. Just like lazy crews lazy managers do nothing to earn their pay.
I worked for dwp lol just normal for workers not gonna change ever
Just like Public Workers protest for more pay, the public taxpayers should surround Union Halls and protest them to put in a days work.
🤡
I love my Union and my job if you hate yours just quit
I’ve seen DWP put in work. These guys have some pretty skilled positions and get the job done.
Do news crews put in a full day's work? Or do they horse around while being paid?
All Government Agencies Act This Way. Tax Payers Front The Bill‼️
What the hell is their to investigate. It’s on film
Alot, how many actual jobs did they have?
Holy Cow 🐄🐄🐄!!!
Goldstein's the largest standing reporter that I've ever seen before...
The bigger question is who is eating Chinese food at 8 in the morning?
Lord Jesus keep open up the door s of darkness in justice and in government workers .Amen
"Oh man, Goldstein's outside" lmao
That's good reporting...excellent
DWP, they have hefty paychecks for using work time hours for themselves. Corruption is like a gangrene...spreads quietly and rapidly. They've been used to that and they have just been discovered. Great!
Gotta spend all that money somehow....
SittingInDetroit city budget is chipping in
Garcetti says “we’ll look into this”😂
Sure you will. This is Gov in action.
Union, bet on it!
Gotta love that taxpayer money at work. It's so common in California to see road workers standing around doing absolutely nothing. Alot of times it's sub'd out work and even those companies will have 2 guys working and 5 more standing around doing nothing. Must have been a profitable bid that was accepted if the company can afford 5 guys doing jack shit while only 2 work. California is ripe for this kind of excess.....sad but it's very common here...
if you don't fire them you are just as guilty and you should be fired
Union Employees and Public Works employees are very similar: Entitled and lazy. And I used to be a Public Works employee. I know first hand how super lazy and unproductive these people are. Bad supervision lets it happen. No accountability, until a reporter starts sniffing around.
who doesn't always see 3 guys watching while only one guy works.
Wow how dare they! Disgraceful! *flushes toilet and heads back into work*
I work for a public entity. I show up at the agreed upon time each morning monday thru friday ready to work. How management chooses to utilize me is up to them. Somedays i work the whole day, somedays not. I do know that any work given to me by management is completed the same day unless specified beforehand that it could take multiple days. Somedays i finish the job well before my 8 hours is up, in that case my boss says as long as i dont get caught sleeping or steal anything and answer my work phone when called im good.
What about having breakfast an hour after you clocked in? 🤣🤣🤣
Not enough air time to have a story about every time this happens.
Let'em eat their breakfast alone
Don't bother'em please!!!🤑🤑🤑🤑
Only reasons these DWP workers may not be fired is because their bosses and managers conduct themselves in a similar manner. Some people have no concept of what hard work is or putting in a good days work.
Thats why all trucks or cars need gps tracker on them and camera's installed in them to track all city workers like this.
1Shignog Then your employees will quit. So as a response the city has to raise pay to retain employees. All private sector companies have abandoned gps and cameras in vehicles because they lose all of their skilled employees.
richard vaughn so if they make it law to have GPS and cameras in the cars, drivers are just gonna go jobless? you make no sense lol
ISayStupidThings Sometimes You can always work somewhere else. Employees are not disposable. This is a skilled trade and you cant just hire random people to fill vacancies. Training is expensive and it takes years to replace these guys.
Many private companies will often have company bbqs were they party on the clock. They arent working at McDonalds, its a very skilled job and a dangerous and stressful job where you are on call 24-7.
They have a lax working environment to help retention.
only scumbag employees would quit over that. honest employees should welcome it to get rid of the dead weight.
Lol, worked for a cable company it’s not hard to unplug the gps
I see a lot of state and county employees here in Oklahoma, doing the same thing on my tax dollars
...the ridiculous mayor asked the thieving corrupt city workers to investigate themselves, (and we all know how scared those untouchable employees were about that.) A responsible mayor would demand the names of every city employee shown in the video and then demand they be fired immediately (and charged with fraud,) as well as having their incompetent supervisors fired too!
Their dump breaks must be legendary.
.
GOLDSTEIN WAS A BEAST!!💪
Don't rush us. We just ate.
"They're getting rate hikes, let's slack off and eat some chinese food!"
😂😂😂 No.
City council should be strung up and every DWP worker need to lose their jobs and charged with fraud.
What a waste of tax money
That is not tax money.
They are workin to make America great again!
Rafael Ramirez 1meal at the time:)
2 years later I can still see trucks park there in the morning.
And what will happen after this???? NOTHING. Thank you for reporting David.
If were police officers, they would have been given paid time off and then promoted.
No, no they wouldn't.
No, they'd have to shoot someone to get that, which some would be glad to do.
Someone should follow the reporter around 😂
God’s work by these reporters
G thanks David for leaving families with no food
Sweet “work” if you can get it!
Goldstein is here. Oh sht, hide the food 😂
That's call time theft and it's chargeable have some of them arrested , see how quick this stops.
Gotta raise the rates. All that eating is expensive . These guys need more pay so they can afford it.
Chronic misbehavior like that should be termination justification for all of them!
YOU'RE FIRED! (Vince McMahon's voice) 🤣🤣🤣
Law makers are the ones we should be mad at
Yep! Federal employers are the worst, starting with the politicians 😒
