According to various reports, the room had a futon, flat-screen television, a refrigerator and a microwave. It was used by the three workers as a place to drink, nap and watch TV. The room itself was behind a plasterboard wall in an unused locksmith shop below Track 114. The three men were fans of various Twitch streamers such as Tfue, if reports are to be believed.
3 metro workers suspended without pay for building a secret room to watch Twitch streamers during job hours
MTA Inspector General Carolyn Pokorny, the officer who headed the investigation, said the following about the matter:
The three Metro officials, a wireman, carpenter foreman and an electrical foreman, denied ever having been in the room. However, their fingerprints were found inside, and the wireman’s name was found printed on an air mattress box in the room. The group was fond of various Twitch streamers and watched channels during their work hours.
Apparently, there had been multiple complaints about such a space being used for recreational purposes by Metro workers. However, due to the lack of proper investigation, the man-cave remained undiscovered until now.
Further evidence of the three workers’ involvement came in the form of a streaming device attached to the TV. The device was used to access Twitch and other websites. It had the carpenter foreman’s mobile hotspot on its list of available WiFi devices while it was also registered under the electrical foreman’s name.
Furthermore, 2018 datebooks and a pull-up bar box found in the room also had the electrical foreman’s name. The three men have been suspended without pay and face potential termination. You can watch Esports Talk’s video on the matter below.
