3 accused of creating man cave under Grand Central Terminal

I guess they don't call it Grand Central Station anymore.

NEW YORK (AP) — Three railroad workers have been suspended for turning a storage room under New York’s Grand Central Terminal into an unauthorized “man cave” with a television, a refrigerator, a microwave and a futon couch, officials said Thursday.

A Metropolitan Transportation Authority investigation found that managers at Metro-North Railroad were unaware of the hideaway beneath Track 114.

“Many a New Yorker has fantasized about kicking back with a cold beer in a prime piece of Manhattan real estate — especially one this close to good transportation,” MTA Inspector General Carolyn Pokorny said in a news release. “But few would have the chutzpah to commandeer a secret room beneath Grand Central Terminal.”

Apparently, someone snitched on them.

The investigation began after the MTA’s office of the inspector general received an anonymous tip in February 2019 alleging that there was a “man cave” under Grand Central with “a couch and a flat screen t.v.” where three specific employees would “hang out and get drunk and party.”

Investigators found the room, which had wooden cabinets designed to conceal the TV and futon, according to the report.

Railroad officials said the space presented a fire hazard because rescue workers would have had difficulty accessing an unmapped room.

I can see where they might want to have some kind of break room or place to eat their lunch, but if they're getting drunk and partying on the job, then I guess they're toast.

Maybe they can get a job with Amtrak.

What if it happened to be a woman cave. Would their response have been different?

And, why don't women make women caves?

They do.
Often referred to as "homes".



I don't see the problem here. Some people(notice the lack of genderism) put a TV and furniture in an unused space. And liked it.

I can understand the authorities booting them out when the space gets let out to a high roller who will pay big bucks for a cozy spot. One their spouse doesn't know even exists. It's probably worth $100K/month.

Or at least was. Now that everyone knows it's there, it's value probably dropped by 50%. A secret hideaway that's been described online and in court records.....
?

I just don't see the problem here.

I used to work at a casino. Not a bad gig, all things considered. I was a technician and we used to have a warehouse that would store slot machines. I heard stories of times when techs and managers alike would sneak out to the warehouse for an hour or two and smoke a bowl/kick one back. A snitch reported it and they closed down the warehouse and cut the staff by a considerable margin so that if anyone left the property, it would be obvious.

Lets just be clear on this:
You are saluting people abusing alcohol on the job amd potentially putting others at risk.
