Regarding “My Secret Life: Working Remotely—At Two Jobs” (Exchange, Aug. 14): It’s one thing to report on this practice by a small subset of work-from-home professionals as the main article does. It’s an entirely different matter to then write a supplemental article giving people pointers on how to pull off this unethical behavior. I was very disappointed.

This article reminded me of my own experience: 40 years ago I was recruited by a new human-resources manager for a large company in Massachusetts. After assuming my new position, I learned that the HR staff had been complaining to the company president that the HR manager was constantly out of the office. The staff was tired of doing all his paperwork.

The president decided to check the manager’s references and called his previous employee’s HR department in Buffalo, N.Y. That very same HR manager answered the phone. He had never bothered to quit his old job in another state. Double-dipping isn’t so new after all.

What a sad and cynical commentary on the mutual trust and respect that should exist between employer and employee.
