Yeah I’ve seen that before many times and usually they’re moonlighting. So it’s not career immolation necessarily, it’s more like double dipping.

Ding-ding-ding.

I’ve worked with a manager at a customer that rarely turned up to even online meetings and even complained that this was taking time away from his personal business!

He was a full-time employee using business hours at his job to run a side-hussle.

After this experience I’ve learned to recognise the signs.

I suppose this makes more sense, though I feel like if they'd put in even a partial effort they could've dragged it out much longer than they did. Boom, FAANG wages at boring mid-west companies.
