Not if both companies think you are working 9 to 5 for them and they are paying you accordingly. That is theft.
That depends on how one identifies.
I identify as a Income Maximization they/them. See?
Look at some of the posts on this thread. Astonishing.
Some people here think this is perfectly fine, that someone would give their word or sign a contract to work with an employer for 40 hours a week, and then give something less than that.
Or that corporations “deserve” to be screwed because they somehow mistreated their employees.
I am speechless.
On one hand, no moral foundation. On the other hand, people sound like dedicated Marxists.
Right on this very forum. Just wow.
My nephew is an off the charts brilliant computer geek.
For years he refused all promotions so he could work by himself on the graveyard shift in a computer center.
He programmed all tasks so they ran without his intervention (without telling the bosses) and then spent the night sleeping or reading or using his cell phone for personal business.
Is that “theft”?
He was such a productive employee they kept trying to promote him.
It is not his fault that his bosses weren’t smart enough to take full advantage of his skills.
Consider a slightly different scenario. Both companies expect a 40 hr work week. If both get 40 hours, is that theft?
Indeed
Oh, okay.
