Working two full time jobs....

Interesting article - but surely this must be so so rare?

You'd hope so. I noted there was no mention of WTR which would be relevant. It's an interesting point - we've moved from managing people via hours worked to managing via outputs, but what if they can do their outputs in less than a full working week. Do we have a right to the rest of their time or if we are getting the right amount of work out of them for the salary we are paying them, can they reasonably spend the rest of their time doing something else?

Keeping it a secret is never a good idea though, is it?

Though even output based work for a while at least will be based on some notion of the time it takes to create that output for most people

I would like to say No but as very few employers would say yes then providing no damage is done, why would an employee ask?
if they get dismissed they just carry on with the other job and maybe try for another one.

Clearly some companies haven't got that quite right if people have time to do two jobs! :-D

Indeed but I suspect that this is more to do with the industry than wider lessons
