oooo How surprising !

No surprise here at all. For every conscientious, hard worker in a state agency, there are at least 3 clueless, uncaring, lazy, do-nothing state workers. Even though there are no unions, supervisors never fire these useless workers on our dime. They just get lost in the system doing nothing for years. If every state agency was truly audited, 25% of the jobs in every agency would be deemed unnecessary. This is no doubt true throughout the whole country. Call any state agency, and see what type of people you have to deal with!

SPEAKING OF COMPUTER GLICHES HAS THE NCDOT EVER GOT THEIR WONDERFUL BECON PAYROLL SYSTEM FIXED TO THE POINT THAT IT HAS QUIT MESSING UP STATE EMPLOYEE PAYROLL CHECKS. ALSO THE STATE AUDITOR NEED TO DEMAND THAT THERE BE AN INVESTIGATION INTOT HE CONTRACT PAYMENT AN THE LINE ITEM THAT ARE BEING PAID FOR IN THESE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS TO CONTRACTING ENITYS ACROSS THIS STATE FOR LINE ITEM SUCH AS UNDERCUT EXCAVATION THAT HAS BEEN PAID FOR WHEN THERE WAS NEVER ANY NEED FOR THE UNDERCUT EXCAVATION IN THE FIRST PLACE ON A PROJECT WHEN THE CONTRACTOR WAS UNDERCUTTING BENETH A PREFECTLY GOOD HILL OF SAND CLAY TYPE MATERIAL BUT CONTRACTOR WAS ALLOWED TO GET PAID FOR THIS UNDERCUT JUST SO AS TO INCREASE THE NEED FOR MORE ADDITIONAL BORROW MATERIAL IN ORDER TO BACK FILL WITH . THIS WAS A TOTAL WASTE AN FRAUD AGAINST THE STATES TAXPAYING CITIZENS THANK YOU

just wait until these same people are working on your medical insurance.

Owe they dont care how much it cost to get it back its not their money anyway they just want everyone to do the right thing. They want you to give your money "right" back to them.

So let me get this right some bigwig embezzels money gets caught the state wants to keep it quiet so they come up with the we overpaid solution and now want the unemployed to pay for it. Sounds like a movie of the week to me. Its just plain scary how much the government quote unquote over pays then they want it back. You know what government I want my money that was used in the bank bailout back I believe that you overpayed them.

LOL at the guy that said if they cut his unemployment benefit by $25 he'd have to cut back on his job searches. Somehow I don't think he is serious about finding a job.

So Bev is giving a Gov's pardon to all ESC employees.

Bev has already said that NO ONE will have to pay back the overpayments. Nothing has changed since Nov of 2010, except they have armed guards at the unemployment office.

Bev's answer was to put the unemp office under commerce, to save money, but no one was let go. A lot of changes had to be made, though, that cost thousands. All the political appointees are still sitting there, drawing their fat paychecks.

this is not good, but no recourse here
