Yeah kind of scummy to get them fired elsewhere too. CEOs and board members do this all the time but god forbid middle class try to get ahead by working hard.

The difference is in hiding the fact and being transparent/disclosing it. Are you seriously saying you think it's fine to not disclose one or more other full time jobs you're doing at the same time while working remotely as developer?

When I'm not working, sometimes I busk on the street corner. Should I disclose that?

[mirekrusin]

If you're doing it every workday full time during the time that you're suppose to work - yes, you should.

[simplotek]

If you expect to busk on the street corner during company time, what do you think?

[ijustcantevenw]

What is company time when you're +8 hours from an employer, and you complete your work?

And yes, I do busk in lieu of taking lunch sometimes.

[mirekrusin]

When you complete your work - that's a big if - your company probably won't give a crap about the rest and will want to keep you.

If you keep barely completing fraction of your work, say 5% what you'd normally expect, it's a problem and looking at contract agreement where you agreed to work certain amount of hours for exchange of salary - that is not full-filled starts to matter.

Same way from PoV of employee it would not be fair if company would start to wire you fraction of agreed salary because they're also working with other developers at the same time and you just have to deal with it.

It only works as long as it's a niche behavior, because if not the system will adjust and it'll inflate the supply of labor
