Episode Details

Baltimore County’s Department of Permits uncovered a shocking case of workplace ghosting: an inspector allegedly clocked in for over 239 hours but did virtually no work, costing taxpayers more than $14K in unpaid labor and another $2K in unapproved vacation time. The inspector, when confronted, admitted “that’s what I did,” while supervisors failed to monitor vehicle usage or workload—despite other inspectors logging 70% more work during the same period. Investigators suspect this isn’t an isolated incident, with years of potential misconduct hidden behind limited GPS data. County Executive Katherine Klausmeier is now pushing for stricter oversight, fairer workloads, and updated driver policies—and whether the inspector stays on the payroll remains uncertain.
