Patent office filters out worst telework abuses in report to its watchdog - The Washington Post
Prompted by multiple whistleblower complaints, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office began an internal investigation two years ago of an award-winning program thats been praised in and outside government: Employees are allowed to work from home.

Some of the 8,300 patent examiners, about half of whom work from home full time, repeatedly lied about the hours they were putting in, and many were receiving bonuses for work they didnt do.
