I'll put down serious money concerning the work philosophy of Fernando, the guy who according to this ad has "twenty businesses:" That he agrees with people like Dave Ramsey and his lapdog Ken Coleman- and Elon Musk- that people who work more than one job are committing "theft" from their employers for not giving 100 percent of their time to one company.
Never mind that mega-rich CEOs brag about how many companies they serve on the boards of or (like this guy) how many businesses they own outright. That's totally different, Because Reasons. If you are a teleworker who isn't available 24/7 for the company that is paying you for forty hours per week, you're a "thief." Doesn't matter if you get all your work done- when that happens, you aren't supposed to supplement your income by getting all of your work done somewhere else. You're supposed to ask your original employer for more work (but not more money.)
So the diminishing number of companies that are still permitting people to work from home are beginning to incorporate software to count keystrokes, require those workers to keep their laptop cameras on and have a photo taken of them every other minute or so, and other 1984-style "productivity monitors" in order to prevent employees from trying to engage in "career cushioning," or establishing another stream of income which provides some measure of financial independence from the company. Because it's bad enough that they don't want to waste time and money commuting to an office so that they can sit in a cubicle and do exactly the same thing they could just as easily do at home; we must make sure that the nose ring is securely fastened to one paycheck and one paycheck only.
Meanwhile, this guy can have twenty companies and nobody will accuse him of neglecting any of them while he takes a salary from all of them. This is just fine- again, because Reasons. Make it make sense, someone. Make it make sense.
