How to handle the guilt of not disclosing to my employer/supervisor I am DNing? (alien.top)

Does anyone feel guilty at times about lying? I work from my own laptop doing project work and admin. No company or org laptops. They haven’t necessarily asked where I am, they simply assume I am in the region. I don’t correct them and generally just avoid the topic like local restaurants or news.

I know they would axe me immediately if they found out. The culture is very excessive lovey dovey (initially anyways - we are all a family here type stuff) but overtime I see the red flags. So I am not saying much. Keeping my head idown and working. Though I do feel guilty about this disguise and all. Anyone too?

I spent nights taking calls after work hours for a client once. One mistake one day and I was let go the following week.

That day I realized I’m never ever going to go above and beyond for an employer. In fact, the opposite, I find ways to use to exploit them. And there is no guilt in me whatsoever.
