Yep, rules for thee and not for me.

Companies subcontract all day long. And they rely on cheap labor to do this. And the company benefits.

Yet when the person (not a fake person like a company) does this, it's a "firable offense".

I've also seen similar parallels about whom should get the fruits of automation: If I automate a harder process from 10h to 10m...

If the company knows, then I will be expected to keep automating and get 9h 50m more work.

If the company doesn't know, then Im able to retain the 9h50m to myself for my purposes (learning, entertainment).
