This shit is fake as hell. There are maybe a couple of dozen people that could be doing this and riding off of the backs of other people doing their job for them, the rest are just r/thathappened pathological liars and karma farmers.
Yeah, we had a guy on our team we think was trying to do this. For a while I think he was being too clever, but it’s kind of obvious when you constantly have family emergencies that keep you out of contact for days on end? We had to do a ton of overtime to get his work done.
There is one guy in my department now who I’m 95% certain is doing two jobs because he’s so ineffectual and irresponsive, it’s remarkable he’s still around. I’d never complain about him though and even make excuses for him, because, shit, I’d hope someone would do the same for me.
Nah, I’m sure it’s more common than that. One of the big credit reporting agencies fired 24 people recently for doing it, I think because their paycheck info from both their employers was somehow part of their credit report (?): https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/10/equifax-surveilled-1000-remote-workers-fired-24-found-juggling-two-jobs/
Honestly that’s been my biggest concern, that credit reporting agencies would start selling “detection” services to employers who are too nosy (if someone’s getting all their work done, who gives a fuck?) and that might be a problem for me… The other big concern was doing the W-4 properly so I didn’t owe a lot of taxes and doing the 401k deposits correctly to not go over for the year.
