What you described can just as easily be done on-site. Remote work merely lets these people actually do something they might enjoy instead of sitting in a chair and pretending to work for 8 hours. I’ve met people likely this and they’d rather pretend to be busy than actually do something.
- PragmaticPulp 5y ago> What you described can just as easily be done on-site. You can't get two on-site jobs at the same time. One of them is going to notice that you're not there.
- sarchertech 5y agoTrue but compared to the number of people who are just unproductive at their single job, there’s no point in worrying about people working 2 jobs.
- kelnos 5y agoI think the point was that many on-site employees get their work done just fine, but spend half of their in-office hours goofing off on Facebook or reading HN or whatever. So in principle that "wasted" time (assuming it is indeed a waste) could be put to use for a different company, with double the compensation. Obviously there are severe logistical issues if you're on-site!
