Let’s say you work fully remote for Company A. Then Company B offers you a new job. Also fully remote.
What if you just didn’t tell Company A that you started with Company B? You slowly stop attending Zoom meetings, you just keep telling your manager you are busy with projects. Call in sick. Find ways to buy time. When in reality you’ve now started fully working for Company B.
I feel I could squeak out a month or 3 before Company A actually calls me out and fires me for not meeting productivity requirements… so what I’m saying is, I could receive an extra pay check or 3 out of Company A before they are forced to fire me, while at the same time getting paid by (and actually working for) Company B.
If I don’t care about burning bridges at Company A, what other repercussions could there be? Assuming no non-compete and proprietary company product rules are broken.
