A tech CEO reported firing two engineers who were caught working a second full-time job in this LinkedIn post that went viral.

This topic has been trending across the wider web this week as there have been multiple reports from businesses that claim to be firing employees who are working multiple full-time jobs. Notable stories have emerged from the software company mentioned in this thread and from a multinational credit reporting agency that claims to have caught and fired 24 workers who were holding a secret second job. These reports have attempted to "warn" employers of this new trend.

The post elaborates and shares the employer's views on the "moral issues at play" in "'working' two full-time jobs," claiming that the practice was "stealing" from the employer.

The screenshots were posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, and the Redditors were not shy about roasting the CEO and making some arguments of their own.
