Do you not have regular calls with teammates?

Sure I guess someone could physically turned up to an office to collect a laptop, be onboarded, get ID checked, then dial in to a few hours of meetings a week, muddle through any questions, rely on the team back at base helping, turn up in person to team get togethers every few months and manage to bluff their way through. It's not unprecedented - Frank Abagnale was running that type of con decades ago, Russia had the "Illegals" program of deep cover spies.

That's not exactly low cost.






Those regular calls is what limits how many places you can work for. You full time job becomes holding those calls, plus knowing just enough about the problem to sound intelligent. You can probably work 4 jobs this way.

Not just planned calls, random unplanned "jump on a huddle for a few minutes" ones at 11:42.

If you're working in another company and on a team meeting there, you're going to get caught pretty quick.
