> someone noticing what you are up to

You mean the job he was employed for, that they decided to outsource some of but continued to keep him on to manage?

I don't see the problem. The "value he added" was experience in the field and management of relations between the different stakeholders.

I bet he'll have to do some work when those outsourced coders come up with something that doesn't fit the bill, that's for sure.

I think the GP means the moonlighting while his employer thinks he's doing work for them.

So it would all be fine if he just sat and stared at the wall I suppose.

From most employers' perspective, probably yes.
