Sort of sounds like fraud to me.
Once the pandemic ends a lot of people will be shocked to be dragged back into the office because lots of people are useless working from home.

ehhh I don't think it's fraudulent, it's a combination of companies being inefficient and often wasting time plus people working efficiently or harder at times, I would guess

Look, a lot of companies,esp all IT ones,expect deliverables. On top of that you are expected to attend virtual meetings and do some buereaucracy like filling out time sheets. Deliverables usually have a window of 2 weeks for a list of tasks. Generally, 90% of my meetings have not required much input from me and I work while others talk.
You can finish your daily quota in half a day. Now I prefer to use my free time to work on business ideas. But someone else could take a second gig if they feel like it. Is it really fraud ? If you don't deliver to either employer, you will get laid off. Even in social welfare countries, they can kick you out during probation at least - usually 6 months.
I am not a fan of this approach, because I think its wiser to develop your own business in the remaining time, but to each their own.

You're getting paid to have your time directly owned and controlled by the company that hires you. If you're being paid on a piecemeal basis, then fine, but if you're getting paid to dedicate 8 hours a day to your employer, then if you also promise another employer to dedicate 8 hours a day to them then I don't see how that's fraud. If you have two employers paying you on a piecemeal basis then it's not fraud, but if you're paid hourly then I don't see how it isn't.
