POLL A boss lit a small fire under LinkedIn when he posted that his company had sacked two recently hired engineers for continuing to work a full-time job at another company.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought a seismic shift to the workplace as office workers were encouraged to perform their roles from home in order to limit the spread. Since the madness has calmed, many have opted to continue working this way or in hybrid arrangements where the employee comes in for a number of days each week.

Many workers who were able to do their job from home liked it. They could focus better without the hustle and bustle of office life and it put an end to onerous and expensive commutes. It has also given parents more flexibility. Of course, just as many didn't like it for various reasons, usually social or the importance of face-to-face communication in their job.

Leaders of companies, on the other hand, feared it would be a productivity drain or, worse, lead to an inability to determine productivity. Last year "over employment" became a "trend," with articles from The Wall Street Journal and Forbes reporting on the sensation of people who used lockdown restrictions to work two full-time jobs without letting either employer know. While some workers would view this as a finger to Western capitalism, bosses don't take too kindly to the chicanery involved in pulling this off.

This is exactly the situation Davis Bell, CEO of cloud-based accounting practice management software company Canopy, seems to describe in his post on the social network for suits.
