September 1, 2014

Pursuit's Take

 

OIG initiated this inspection in response to a complaint alleging fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement at a Department of Energy Site Office.  Specifically, the complaint alleged that employees and other resources were used to perform personal tasks.  The complaint also alleged various other ethics violations, to include:  (1) accessing and sharing of employee email records; (2) creation of a negative work environment; (3) disclosure of employee personal information; (4) the use of inappropriate influence; and (5) improprieties related to the consumption of alcohol during an offsite event.
