Me too, but it makes a big difference. Recording sales or support interactions with customers is common.

The article also mentioned "commission" as part of his compensation which may be related to a sales function.

The article mentions he was a remote worker up front. I think his job was telemarketing.

I wonder if they were a remote sales or marketing rep.

I'm not sure why a software development Company would have an employee doing telemarketing, at least not the unsolicited direct to consumer type we use the term for in the US. Maybe this is a connotation issue.

Software companies still need to sell stuff much of which can be remote, it looks like this local branch was a sales operation to the Dutch market.
