"He crushed the interview": Silicon Valley duped by software engineer secretly working four jobs

It’s a**holes like this who ruin it for other remote workers. THIS is why companies are demanding employees go back to the office. Can’t even blame em when nonsense like this is going on.

Yes, its a problem with remote work. Ive seen it in my hirings and interviews as well. We let someone go who we suspect was working 3 jobs. How did we find out? Just hold folks accountable to their objectives. When working remote, if you are evaluating and assigning objectives out effectively, the ones who are not working get exposed VERY quick. It may take a month or two but the picture will become crystal clear. Its the only way to weed these guys out.

Exactly, I tend toward over-production working from home to show I'm not f34$#^@ around.

Same and most folks that I know in my org of 20k+, they do the exact same. The ones who dont get exposed very quickly on performance and missed objectives.

There is no reason you need to stare over someone's shoulder to evaluate if they are working or not. Have measurable goals and deliverables. Are they meeting them? If yes, who cares what they are doing. If no, on to the next.
