No one said "widespread".
I'd say the "innuendo" is spot on.
There HAD to be an impetus to even SUGGEST some work-at-home federal employees were taking 2nd jobs.
Could it be that some workers were ALREADY working 2, 3 jobs and were found out?
Yes.
Studies have already shown that some, not all, federal workers who got to work from home took 2nd jobs. That, in and of itself, is not "illegal",
unless the job conflicts with their federal job, or ANOTHER federal job.
Taxes will tell the story.
