Before the recession, it was a well-known secret among coworkers who was doing this, now when budgets are being slashed these folks are the first to be let go. Please don't do this, you're ruining remote work for everyone. If you really want to, become a contractor and be honest about your situation.
- speeder 4y agoI was fired from my last job partially because a lot of people were doing this and the company decided to make my job be 100% in Office in response. Since the office of my job was literally on the other side of the planet and people there spoke the local language (one I don't know), I got fired.

- ghaff 4y agoI assume people who are sufficiently self-centered that they've convinced themselves that this is fine because it obviously is if you can get away with it are incredibly selfish and not nearly as clever as they think they are in many other ways as well. Personally if I were aware, I'd report them because I don't want to be either complicit or a liar if it comes out and I'm asked.

- oofta-boofta 4y agoI can't wait until you get laid-off/fired unjustly. I had this same attitude until I got laid off even though I was a high-performer (4/5 and 5/5 on all my bi-yearly reviews). Now, I'm in it for me and only me. Fuck these companies, they don't care about you so why should I care? I perform to the expectations of my job description but forget going above and beyond.
- ghaff 4y agoI honestly don't understand why someone with your attitude doesn't become a freelancer/consultant. If I hated working for companies that much, pretty much no amount of incremental salary would persuade me to not go my own way.
