The funny thing is, if those working more than 1 job at home are doing adequate work, is it fraud? After all, if your capacity is far above 100% of what the job requires, how is the employer entitled to 100% of your effort? Are they paying extra for it? After all, these are the same employers who will outsource you or lay you off in a heartbeat.
Very good point.
I personally know a neighbor who is drawing a full time salary for “working at home” and is only actually putting in about 20 hrs work per week and goofing off the balance of the time.
But apparently fulfilling the obligations such that he’s not getting fired.
If you’ve got a room full of people doing the same job, the work will get done if most of them are plugging away, even if you have a few people like the one in the article who sets up the computer and then goes to the gym
The story I read about some huy working a couple of different jobs involved him subcontracting out the work he was tasked with to Chinese coders. He paid them peanuts, then turned it in as his own work.
