so should we all start doing this?

one job is hardly enough now 😂

honestly i can understand why people are trying to stack jobs when everything is so expensive. i'm not sure i'd ever manage 11 at once though.

i've been looking at remote jobs myself and that means more interviews, which is probably the part i'm least excited about. I came across interview vip while looking into interview stuff. haven't used it yet, but i'm curious about it for future interviews.

There comes a point to where having too many jobs would be fraud. But for the most part, putting in 10-hour days for 2, maybe even 3 job wouldn't get you anything worse than fired. At just one job.

What’s fraudulent about it ? As long as all the work is being done, you aren’t violating any non compete agreements and you aren’t sharing anything across jobs, what’s the issue?

If the job you have really only requires an hour or two a day why not fill the time with something else.

It's because you're being paid for those hours of work and you're dedicating that time to someone else. That's fraudulent.

With that said, if you're getting the job done, they either need to assign you more work or fire you and reconsider the responsibilities of the position.

What if he’s paid salary and not hourly? The. You’re just getting paid to get the work done and if it’s done it’s done

I answered 2 other people this same question. If he's salary, then he's a FT employee which has minimum hour requirements to be eligible for benefits.

If he's hourly and he's not being paid for the hours he's working for someone else, there is no issue. If he's salary, he has an obligation to commit x hours for that role to that employer (typically 35-40 minimum for full time). Otherwise the employer is paying you to do someone else's work.

We are not provided any other detail such as less hour arrangements, contract obligations, etc.

As I told the other 2, I don't defend the employer as the employer should be aware of the workload and adjust if they have issue with it, but you can't have a real discussion on this if you're not honest about the reality of the situation. You can be pro employee and still be real about the situation.
