Patrick SyngerunsMetrickal, a business headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, that has ten full-time employees who work remotely.
While he showed some signs of improvement, his overall performance didnt change much.
When Synge analyzed the data from the Peruvian workers computer, his suspicions were confirmed.
He also found the name of an American business on the platform.
I would have probably fired him anyway, but the tracked data was the missing hard proof.
If employees fail to manage all the different tasks simultaneously, the overemployment trend becomes problematic.
Their attention will be scattered, so the quality of their work will suffer.
As an entrepreneur, I have to think about my business and clients first.
I cant afford to lose clients because someone wants to make extra money, he argued.
This is why keeping this employee of mine in the company wasnt an option.
He wasnt fair and respectful to the team, and thats something I cant tolerate.
Youre taking your destiny into your own hands.
Synges decision sparked a debate on the practice of overemployment
