When you work for the company as a bump agent, you’re immune from changes in the temporal change manifold. So your actions are off the field of play. This prevents the scenario of a bet being taken for something you’re instructed to do via the app.

Like, say your job was to steal something from a grocery store, like a pint of chocolate chip ice cream. You slip it into your jacket and walk to the exit, but suddenly there’s a big voice behind you. But at the same time somebody bet on you getting busted for shoplifting.

That might happen, but nobody can make money off it.

@Maxon Interpreter's info is so out of date, they must have taken a TIME MACHINE to get here. To the future, that is.

Maybe it was that way back in the 1980s. But now it's all remote. Nobody goes into the office any more, and especially not the top brass.

There's even an app. So you can do it from your phone. You just wait for a temporal probability that needs to get nudged one way or another, and if you can do it you take the job. You get paid by the job. Most of them are easy, like "bump into this guy and spill your coffee on him" or "be on such and such a corner at such and such a time and offer directions to a woman in a blue skirt." I mean, those are easy ones, so you don't make much. Sometime they pay a super lot but, well, they're not always legal.
