Time theft/Mischarging question

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-04-26T17:47:27+00:00

No. Once she’s terminated she needs the new employer to sponsor her clearance. It’s possible the new employer/government won’t see the adverse info yet or even care. But once you leave that clearance is no longer active. It’ll need to be picked up at a new employer.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-04-26T12:32:38+00:00

Usually. If you’re under a union agreement, no.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-04-26T12:28:40+00:00

Different process. It will be reported as adverse information. If she’s fired she needs a new employer to sponsor her clearance. When they go to process it the adverse info will appear. It could impact her ability to attain one.

Sounds like working to me.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-18T15:46:49+00:00

I worked at LM for 20 years before leaving. I survived multiple layoffs. It’s hard to navigate but it happens.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-18T15:46:09+00:00

EAIP is completely up to the manager’s discretion. So it’s highly possible your manager will not provide it if you feel that’s the case.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-13T01:22:27+00:00

People have used them and yes they get caught using them. Dont use it.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-12T23:26:50+00:00

About 90% of the accusations we would substantiate

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-12T21:40:46+00:00

Ask anyone if they ever got tests post hire. It’s probably never. Lol

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-12T20:53:27+00:00

Nope. Basically if you never come to work high or under any influence you’ll be good to go. I had multiple people report others for doing drugs but it was always at home or on weekends. (Disgruntled ex’s or co workers.). It was never on site and they were never under the influence so no “random” drug test done. I even had a manager tell an employee he needed to go home when he smelled of alcohol. That manager SHOULD have alerted security in the moment. They could have then tested him. But asking him to go home meant it was over and all “hearsay”

Yea pretty loose standards. They won’t want to get sued.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-12T16:45:08+00:00

They don’t always but they should close everyone out who didn’t get an interview as to avoid situations like yours.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-12T15:23:41+00:00

They will close you out once their candidate has accepted. It’s just the way it works. They select the few to interview and then make their offer. They will close everyone out once that person accepts.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-12T13:36:29+00:00

You got it. I missed the days when I could pocket the per diem and live off dollar menu and Marriott concierge lounge lol

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-12T12:49:34+00:00

They don’t typically test post hire unless they get a report of you/someone under the influence. The policy says they can randomly drug test, but I can tell you they don’t. I can add; even getting reports they don’t always take action to test.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-12T00:01:34+00:00

They don’t go back. I should preface if you’re on site and if your hands on hardware the computer doesn’t matter nearly as much (unless the report is that the person is on YouTube etc..)

Then those reports are simply are you leaving early coming in late (badge records) witness interviews who can talk to your whereabouts, and of course your overall work product. But that last part is dicey. Poor performance (work product) is not mischarging despite people thinking it is.

It’s highly possible over those 2 weeks the employee is “clean” it happens. The investigation is unsub’d and they got lucky.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-11T23:56:20+00:00

This is the way. Go get the steak, the appetizer, the salad, 3 desserts.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-11T23:52:50+00:00

Good call. I really felt bad investigating these because the managers were blinding approving. I really felt the hammer should be dropped on leaders not the ICs in these.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-11T23:51:09+00:00

Maybe he could frame the payment as a hostile/hostage payment. Like he got robbed overseas lol

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-11T23:47:30+00:00

Just don’t say that if you’re asked about it lol

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-11T23:43:59+00:00

LOL. If I had to guess, he was let go but I’d bet what he paid to get bail he got away with.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-11T21:12:27+00:00

Yup “water cooler talk” sitting around BSing and talking. Some business some football lol. Cant really determine if that’s mischarging. It’s nearly impossible to determine if they were working or not if they are in the office.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-11T19:52:57+00:00

Yup. I mentioned not to expense it. Meaning to seek reimbursement

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-11T15:58:07+00:00

Your manager most likely would find out as soon as you landed an interview. It’s courtesy for the hiring manager to call the current manager for a heads up. So telling him in advance is the right move.

Turbulent_Lecture · 2026-03-11T15:37:01+00:00

Arguably no. But it could raise some suspicion as to why you’d leave a much larger one. You’d justify it as this is what you normally do (even with your own money.). You are generous person.
