In defense of this hypothetical employee (who may or may not exist) I would give them the benefit of the doubt that they didn't go in to this thinking "I'm going to work 2 jobs" but rather: - Interviewed at the other company, and received an offer - Took time away from main job to start new job, with the intention of resigning after his onboarding (just in case) - Came back and wanted to clean a few things up before resigning. - Kept doing that - Realized everything was fine and never quit Not saying it doesn't still have issues, but it's easy to see how someone with "normal" intentions could have slowly ended up in this situation.
