Blacklock’s- 344 Fired For CERB Cheating
A total 289 Revenue Agency employees were fired for falsely claiming $2,000 monthly pandemic relief cheques under the Canada Emergency Response Benefit Act. Another 55 employees were fired at the Department of Employment. “All employees are expected to abide by the Code Of Conduct,” wrote managers.
The Revenue Agency said any employee “who inappropriately applied for and received the CERB will be required to repay the amounts if they haven’t already done so as part of normal collection methods.” No cases were referred to police.
The count is expected to rise with ongoing investigations.
Only 344? And how many when they audit the second floor of that office building?
Good thing they don’t fire them for being assholes…
I don’t see how it isn’t fraud and how they’re not charged – except its Canada and its overfull of corruption.
Steal a part to stand together
Are there any etnic connections to the 344? Just curious.
To actually get fired in the public service, you basically have to commit a crime.
The stories you can hear from public servants are crazy. I know a person who switched departments, and didn’t even meet his new boss for 6 months. He picked up a second job driving for Uber, while being paid full time for doing nothing at his govt job.
L – “A total 289 Revenue Agency employees were fired for falsely claiming $2,000 monthly pandemic
relief cheques…” Well, that is, at least, some relief for those they defrauded…
By the way, where those employees real or fictitious ones. working out of the office of a Nigerian prince?
I can’t believe these well paid public servants had the audacity to do that. Talk about low-lifes.
The culture of corruption runs deep in some parts.
How many of them were arrested?
Zero you say?
Not at all surprising.
