Three MTA Workers Suspended After Discovery of "Man Cave" at Grand Central

They had a big screen TV, futon, fridge, microwave and beer.... Looked like a nice TV but now it's the MTA's.

This gem has made the national news feed as a filler piece-OOPS!

Yeah, I've found several hidy-holes in my time, but never one quite this well equipped...

Some man cave, maybe I’m missing something? 25 years ago that would’ve just been a shanty to kick back in. Maybe a poor choice of beverage this day in age, but the story on this hut seems way overblown. Just more sensationalism to push papers and apps.

If building a mancave under Grand Central is wrong, I'm not sure I want to be right.

How about the 3 workers who falsely claimed to be working when they were actually lounging?

The supervisor of the locksmith office....isn't a locksmith!

Former security chief said he had investigated the complaint & found it without evidence when it was not investigated. This implies he lied and was part of the coverup.

The coverup is always worse than the initial crime.

People were goldbricking while on overtime shifts!!

Claim that there were safety hazards. Pictures did not show any wiring hazards. So safety hazard claims are exaggerated. I'm sure the firefighters could bust through a drywall wall pretty quick.

Those cabinets & table were very nice. I assume they were made from MNRR plywood...

I really don't see what the big deal is here...so what?

Sleeping / watching tv while working overtime? Supervisor covering up the persons location? Security asked to perform investigation which he didn't do, then lying about it?

Back in the day, early in my military career, we had very inventive ways of hiding and killing time; I'm sure many do on the railroads. Still, this was pretty ballsy!
