Getting fired for working remotely without approval doesn't seem unreasonable, but if he actually performed his tasks, this story isn't nearly as outrageous the headline makes it out to be.
Exactly, it sounds like he's been working remotely and others probably knew this, but it probably wasn't officially "Okay'ed" by the higher ups. This happens a lot in Tech jobs.

Go work in the private sector then. If you can get 5 jobs done in 50 hours a week, then obviously, it doesn't take 5 different people to do it.

Awesome. I'm pretty sure he was a graduate student and taught one of my classes back in 03-04ish.

I guess he means the "long term value" of getting a paycheck for 6 months and never actually doing anything.

50 hours on site. 10 hours min off.
The problem is we are still paying some private company to try and fail to do the jobs.

This is a terrible headline on the story.
Working remotely unauthorized is not the same as skipping work. If he worked from home unauthorized for 6 months, to me, that's a problem on the manager, not on him.
So we arrested him in Texas and extradited him back to Baton Rouge? Because he didn't turn in his laptop and other property a week after he said he would? We searched his house out of state? For this amount? For a guy that's worked at LSU for 13 years?
Look, if he was fired, he should have turned his stuff back in, and if he did not, send him a bill. To extradite him and all that for $6,000 of stuff seems, well, extreme.

Are you sure he actually worked from home and didn't just flake out? Nothing in the article points to him working from home....but it is from The Advocate, so inaccuracies are almost a certainty.

How do you interpret this line?
quote:
Thouta never had permission from the university to work remotely or to take any of the equipment off campus, according to the report.
Why would they say that if he wasn't working remotely? Also, what's more plausible, that an employee can actually not work at all for 6 months without being noticed, or that a job that can be done remotely was done remotely and nobody noticed because whenever they emailed him a problem he took care of it?

Holy shite, I worked with that guy when I was running studies there.
Posted on 3/3/16 at 4:08 pm to TigerinATL
Also, what's more plausible: the guy had all of his equipment with him in Texas because he was working remotely, or because he thought he'd get away with not working for 6 months and stealing all of his work equipment?

That's awesome. I wonder who snitched him out.

So the article is disingenuous, at best.
