Heard on the street -- the corrupt powers that be are protecting their "investments" and like junkies who want to make sure they get their next fix or in this case consulting fees averaging any where to $400,000 plus dollars to a million and the City has feel compelled to hire 100 of consultants.
What I heard on the street is NYC is expanding CityTime and they need to do this asap because many of us are calling for an investigation and not renewal this Sept. I have called John Liu's office and I am not the only one outraged by this tax payers' Titanic.
Mike Bloomberg admits it is a catastrophe but he tries to blame Rudy but Rudy is not responsible for all these consultants which have cost millions of dollars and CityTime does not work.
It was meant to prevent city workers from stealing time and it is an Orwellian Time Clock that doesn't work and coming this Sept. it will cost the City of New York over a billion dollars if renewed.
It so completely does not work that workers have to spend extra time calling in sick days and vacations that the computer can't seem to understand.
For low tier workers that have to use their hand print to sign in -- if you scanned in with your hand and you wore a ring and than don't wear it -- it won't recognize your hand.
Workers feel demeaned to have to sign in with their hand print.
It also does not work except to make 100 of consultants under Mike Bloomberg very, very rich.
There are major scandals involved with this include SAIC and go to this blog engine and type in CityTime to read more and learn about scandal ridden SAIC involved big times scandals but someone in Mayor Bloomberg's office felt compelled to hire them.
SAIC ran to Crains to claim they signed on not knowing that CityTime was such a disaster.
The City of New York rushing to expand CityTime in other departments that do not have it pre-September renewal is like Bernie Madoff trying to convince more people he can take their money and make them more when he knew his arrest was coming.
Denial is the new crack cocaine for City Government and the State of New York and no wonder Mike Bloomberg has free condoms from the city being handed out -- the people are being screwed.....and robbed blind to make consultants richer.
