It seems pretty unwise to defraud your employer like that.
What's fraudulent about it, assuming it's not violating any employment agreements?
Why would the fraud be on the employer here and not the employee?
Yes, people do. What OP described is called fraud and people get terminated for fraud all the time.
I can't believe such a large company would cheat like that. I think there must be more to this. Maybe a rogue employee?
Why isn't this a crime? Isn't it the wage theft equivalent of check kiting?
That could get you some jailtime if the org decides you are embezzling, witness poorly done versions of the this same scam.
Are you asking what would happen if you defraud the company you work for?
Why would bigcorps want employees to know that faking work while getting paid is even a thing?
It's an employee doing a job. The job was to lie to the public for short term gain. Don't have to blame the employee, do have to blame the management.
