    The lead engineer at a site I work on from time to time is on a 3 on 3 off rotation (weeks) on an offshore oil rig.
    It turns out he was having to miss some of his trips because he had to ‘look after his ailing father’.
    It turns out he was spending this time working another lead engineer job, for the same oil company but in a different country.
    He got away with it for months until some issue came up and he had to call into the office and they noticed his number was from another country, Saudi Arabia.
    Haven’t been back to that site in a while so I don’t know what happened to him but he’s certainly not working there any more.
