Coworker was caught with a second job-both SAP consulting jobs - both companies immediately let him go. Who knows what is going to happen now. At least on my project, we were time and materials and he was billing 40 hours a week. Great consultant - fought to find him all the time. A couple of weeks ago client complained and we had to set up daily meetings with them just so they could find him. He complained about his workload, even though others were doing much more (cont)

You don't get it. He was not doing two jobs he must be doing a lot more.
I have heard of cases where people do 4 or 5 jobs at once and that must be the case for this person.
I fired an sap funtional consultany because he was never available.

Yea I think such individuals should be fired immediately. My firm waited for too long to fire this contractor.

If he had really been dedicated to the project, even at 40 hours with no overtime, he would have been fabulous. Instead he was a source of constant rebuke from the client, slippage of work, tough conversations with his lead because he wasn't getting his work done on time (I had to hear about it from his lead).

We have had others on the project suspected of having other jobs. Some got fired with poor performance, some got by. Maybe some were doing a good enough job - and I probably care less if they were able to swing it. I knew if I regularly had issues getting ahold of people, the ones who refused to travel even after taking a travel project, the ones who were constantly late with deliverables but seemed bright enough to do the job, the ones who complained about workload when they were pushing everything off to their coworkers - those were the ones.

Ranting to this group - because I'm fascinated with you guys. I've had projects where I barely had anything to do and could have handled a second job. For he most part, reality of SAP implementations is that it's not something that can be done in 20 hours a week. Not something that can be done in one meeting a day, then work off hours. I think most (my world at least) are kidding themselves that they aren't doing a disservice to their coworkers and clients. It's really not 'I can get my job done in 2 hours instead of 8', but the quality of the work suffers.

My company won't be hiring 100% remote workers anymore. For SAP projects, travel will be required so you're at client site for a week at a time, just so we won't have anyone else doing this. I think this is going to be the trend moving forward because of overemployed.

How did the other firm find out? And how long did this go on for?

Well, I’m sure he made bank. He was prob charging min $100/hour at both places
