Closing scenario of working as a home-based consultant

After the session René recounts what he watched: Frederic telling his employers he will hire himself out as a consultant, and when they object that they need him on site for a set number of hours, replying that he will put in the hours from his house, work on their problem and be paid a given sum - conveniently justified by the virus.

He then charges an enormous fee, tells them it is a very long job, and spends the time at home relaxing, playing with his daughter and going off to Disneyland, answering 'soon, soon' whenever they ask about the project.

Months later, when they insist it must be finished, he works for half an hour, calls the next day to say it is done, and they are happy and pay him - leaving him to ask where the next job is coming from.

Frederic replies that it sounds like a plan.
