It is not permissible for an employee to inflate the value of financial offers he brings to his manager and take the excess for himself, as this is a betrayal of trust and an unlawful acquisition of wealth. If the employee believes that his private work with the manager deserves a higher wage, he should demand an increase in his wage or cease private work with him. It should also be noted that private work with the manager must not be carried out during the official working hours of the government job.
