Misc Are there any unknown "rules" against acquiring a second remote job?

I love how people that work from home don't think there is anything wrong with working less than 40 hours and that it is OK to try to do a second job at the same time and get paid for 80 hours of work while working 40. I have a few design engineers that report directly to me that work from home. I get a weekly report from IT on how many hours they are actually working. It shows time actually spent on the computer actually working, meeting times where they are engaged in on-line meetings, and "idle" time. I don't expect the number of working hours to equal 40 each week because I know that is unrealistic, but anything lower than 35-36 hours and I will definitely take notice. If someone had a 20 hour week, they would be terminated unless they had a damn good explanation.

And before someone gets on here and says something about me typing this out during work hours, I have been up working since 4 a.m. and my last meeting of the day ends at 5:30 p.m. so I am definitely putting in my time.
