Send HR Lady and I your garbage job offers, or employment contracts to review! --> Grindreel@gmail.com Here's the article - www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/people-who-work-from-home-secret-two-jobs
Ahh Fox news. The channel that broke the great stories of 2020 like the Dr Zeus and Mr Potato head debacle. Oh and let's not forget the FLIR cams that are really aliens invading America! Anyone else miss the days where some guy/girl sat a desk, read the events of the day, moved the fuck on and let you make up your own mind?
I'm not married with my job, a side chick won't hurt. See the connection between jobs mentality and marriage? "You have to belong only to me, while I own many like you"
Great video. 👍 Fox (Murdoch) is a cancer on our media. They blame the unemployed. Now they’re blaming people having multiple jobs mostly due to pathetic low wages? Never purchase anything Fox (Murdoch) owned media. Boycott them!
I am a retired 80yo mechanical engineer it brings absolute joy to my heart seeing you doing such a spectacularly effective job of dismantling the corporate abuse of talent.
Do you have enlightening stories you are willing to gift to us? I would appreciate if you were willing to share any. If you don't want to that is ok too.
I appreciate your mindset. I will pay off my student loans and I STILL want student loan forgiveness. It’s the same mindset. I want the people behind me to have it BETTER than I did not the same or worse.
@@sarahjaynescott545 i doubt they think that far. Their eyes focus on the profit and making sure the business survives. Which is not unreasonable to do. And on the flip side, many smaller businesses would go under or could not afford to pay employees livable wages of ~24 dollars an hour. A lot of this is due to how the economy works rather than the small businesses.
I remember a janitor job I had. I was paid to be there for 4 hours. My first day, I finished my work in 30 minutes. I told my boss, and I was rewarded with doing everyone else's job for the rest of the 3.5 hours. From then on you couldn't find me working. I'd finish my work within 20 minutes of arriving and read audiobooks in the changing room until I was no longer paid to consume oxygen on property. Fuck these weirdos.
I do the same thing at mine. I work as a contract house cleaner and one of the companies I work with pays by the hour. For each contract, they list how long they expect the job to take. I'm pretty efficient, so I always finish early, sometimes with nearly an hour to spare. If the customer is home, I'll work slower or pretend to clean things that don't need it until time runs out (or I'll drive home and clock out when I park). If the customer's not home, I just wait the clock out and call it a day. Every house I clean looks fantastic, and I intend to collect my full pay for each one. I shouldn't be penalized for being better at my job than they anticpated
@@tabithaalphess2115 you just need to start your own cleaning company and undercut your boss. You'll make way more per hour and improve your self respect.
@@redpilljesus That's the plan. I'm working on establishing myself more in the community, learning more about local market rates, and gauging client expectations. Working with local cleaning companies is just more financially viable at the moment. I'll probably go solo in about a year or so
Yep. If you finish your work, you get rewarded with more work. You have to do the work of people who show up late and spend their time socializing and making friends, including with the boss. Then you’re seen as the stressed-out b*tch, and they’re popular and loved by everyone. Slow down. When you finish your work, keep busy cleaning up and organizing your area. Better yet, intersperse these activities so it’s not obvious.
Fox News: People are lazy and aren’t doing anything to earn money, stop being a leech and get a job People: *get two jobs* Fox News: Not like that! 🤦🏽♀️
Fox News believes in the 1950s ideal of America where the man is the breadwinner, the woman stays at home and rears the kids, They are so out of touch with today's world
If someone completes their work at both jobs I don't want to hear these companies complain. People are playing a system that's normally stacked against them and are winning. People should absolutely take advantage of these companies, they do the same to you every single day and don't bat an eye.
I'm sure you know this already, but the point of a job is exchange work for money, and you usually gain xp in the process. So I don't see why there would be problem with working two jobs as long as the work gets done.
They are acting like a sect. They manipulate , lies and gasligth to do their biding. Sometimes , they treatened to you so you do not things that migth for your interests you or leave the company and exposed of how much a fraudalent and liar they are. Companies nowadays are becomining very sectarian using word like " us vs them" language and the whole family façade. For them is it unconceeivable that people see their job as a mean of survival and nothing more.Sure some like their job but usually because their boss a good leader and they care about their employees. But that is a minority. The majority want to bosse around , absulute obedience, narcisistic and phsycopath.
If anything, if i found out a team member was capable of being able to do two jobs and satisfy all parties needed, then i would actually try incentivise them to stay, those kind of time management skills and work ethics dont come around all that often
Look, I personally know a guy who's a software engineer who works two jobs and hasn't gone over 45 hours a week yet. He makes 200k by doing this and is now in a position to drop one job for one that brings in 130k for a total of 230k annually. Why not?!
The Soviets had a wonderful saying: "You pretend to pay me, I'll pretend to work." I remember some time ago my boss found out that I was working a side gig as a EMT. He called me into the office and told me that working a second job creates a conflict of interest. I told him that there's no conflict of interest working as a librarian and an EMT. If he went into hypoglycemia (boss was a diabetic) would he bother to ask if EMT or paramedic had a second job?
I heard of this before. I was not really surprised. It just means that Employer and Employee are a Deceptive Relationship. The Employer doesn't have to be honest to you, and neither do you. In the Communist countries(Especially Russia), people lie to each other all the time, and that has become a "Lifestyle".
Some bosses appreciate their employees having a 2nd job. There are many amazing perks: #1. Your company is not 100% responsible for the person's livelihood, so they're less likely to want a raise or promotion. #2. The skills they learn in their 2nd job can benefit their first job too; free employee education.
"Is it unethical? I don't care. Is it immoral? My morals are flexible to the need to my extent to feed my family". Love it! I love the no BS straightforward talk.
It's funny how these executives and CEOs will say this is immoral and these are signs of a horrible employee. Yet these are the same people who sit on 3-4 boards and also run 2-3 other businesses??? How can they make additional income and grow their net worth but scuffed at someone who is trying to do the same??
They can do it, you can't. If you want to know if something is morally good in corporate America, just ask the question: "does the shareholders make money out of this?" If the answer is no, it is morally wrong. A second job? Wrong. Changing jobs? Morally wrong. Leaving the office on time or asking for paid extra hours? WRONG!
Well, let's be reasonable. I didn't see any CEO's words in the article. What I did see is the article writer trying to rub a morally wrong, secrecy or illegal feeling to something that's perfectly normal and have been done for years by high performance professionals, even before covid.
@@troywalkertheprogressivean8433 It's precisely a capitalist society that allows this kind of free enterprise so that regular people may always pursue more for themselves and produce more for such society as a result. It prospers with abundant labor available, work being done and proper compensation. It is socialist societies that freeze people in their "economic class".
I notice that any time a worker has more leverage, all of sudden the company has a problem with it. If a worker needs multiple jobs, usually the reason is because their main job isn't paying them a livable wage.
it can also mean that it is not a job that you can't trust you will have in the long run, remember EA and Blizzard , they fired hundreds of employees even after record earnings
Eventually, the mass population will figure out that people need more money to survive. And stop shielding the CEO's who hoard most of the profits. While they "trickle down" a few pennies to every thousand dollars they take in.
@@jalasword Exactly. It's being revealed that most companies are ran by people with narcissistic personality disorder. They view people as a means to their own comfortable life, no matter how badly this inconveniences workers.
I've had multiple jobs for years now, and it's not because "the main" one wasn't paying a livable wage. It's just cuz I wanted more for myself and achieve my goals faster. People need to drop this main job, 9 to 5 idea. You got skills that are valuable to society? Make society pay big time by being available to multiple buyers. Play the market. Get even more skills. Raise your prices. No one is going to take care of you better than yourself.
God forbid they restrict "team player" to its original meaning of "works and plays well with others", which someone can as surely do with two jobs as one. Heck, someone can do that as an introverted data analyst or other private worker, simply by handing in their stuff on time and not being a jerk to their coworkers during the interactions necessary to the job.
yeah tbh i would much rather spend the down time at work to recouperate. speding time with coworkers is too stressful because you have to filter what you say.
I just wanted to say, I work two Full-Time Dev jobs. I'm doing so good at both of them one refused to let me go, offering a bigger salary when I put in my two weeks notice, the other promoted me not once, but twice in 6 months. Oh and to boot, the first one also opened a whole state, so I can be the only employee working from that state. So the idiot that said "Being mediocre at two jobs.... blah blah blah." Nah my dude, I'm a fuckin rockstar and I'm getting the damn paycheck to go with it. I'll have a house paid for, in cash, in two years. A nice one. Kiss my a$$.
If Fox news wants us to work on a single job. Then, we should have job security, better salaries and affordable housing. There's no guarantee that a job isn't gonna let you go immediately for any reason or pay you for the hours you're spending there. So, we need to watch out for ourselves.
Seriously. Fox news: IF YOURE POOR THEN YOU GOTTA PULL YOURSELF UP BY YOUR BOOT STRAPS AND NOT EXPECT HANDOUTS *person gets 2 jobs so they can pay their bills* Fox news: NO NOT LIKE THAT
It's fox news bro, this is the same network that after Trump said that wearing a mask was optional after a doctor said it should be obligatory, their news presentator said: "We have to listen to our elected leaders, not the medical bureaucracy"
You're not an employee for a company you're a service for a company. Companies probably don't have loyality with you, they're probably just "playing business".
I remember when I used to BEG for more hours at Walmart and got brushed off. Once they found out I picked up a second job they tried to guilt me by saying, “don’t you have a toddler at home? Working 2 jobs isn’t good for you.” I told them, “thanks for caring, are you going to give me more hours here?” They gave me a false promise, I left that other job (with benefits-I was naive and in my early 20s). 8 months passed and still no change in hours, so I quit.
Wow that was intrusive for them to bring up about your toddlers being at home! It’s none of their fucking business! And some companies have the mentality that if you don’t have children or a spouse that you should be more available to pick up shifts/do overtime
I had the same problem with my summer jobs in college. Despite being available six days a week, they only ever scheduled me for three. I needed the money, so I went job hunting, landed another job, changed my availibility to three days a week, worked the other three with the new job, and saved the seventh day for me. Doubled my paycheck those summers
@@tabithaalphess2115 Changing my availability is what always got them riled up. They were fine with scheduling me for 24 hours over 5 days, but telling them I couldn't work past 4 was a bridge too far when I got a second job working 4-close somewhere else. "We need you to be more flexible." Too bad, I needed hours and my needs were unmet.
@@Lawrence330 Yeah, I had something similar happen with one of my jobs. I couldn't ask for time off and if I tried reminding them I was a minor (this was in high school) and couldn't stay late because I had school, I was told I leave when they say I leave. Needless to say, I quit. I later found out that manager was fired
This man SPOKE THE TRUTH !!! You do not get to decide when you "climb the corporate ladder" at your job. It is always up to them to decide when you move up to fulfill some sort of need or requirement THEY have. You can work your tail off DAY AND NIGHT, but you will NOT get that promotion unless they need you to do even more work. I am in Silicon Valley and for anyone reading this - just know that it is NOT a meritocacy - and the only freedom you have is to change jobs; but if you can work TWO jobs, then go for it. You are getting paid to fulfill a SPECIFIC need and not to be at their "beck and call" to fulfill EVERY need, which is a mistake I see many NEW, YOUNGER workers do and what I was guilty of doing also. God Bless The Internet !!!
It depends on the contract you sign. Many contracts state that you are at their beck and call to fulfil every need. And new / young workers would be idiots not to sign any contract placed before them. You don't have any bargaining power until you can say no to a job offer without financial penalty - impossible unless you're already employed.
In 2019 I was a sales consultant working my butt off to be the #1 salesman in the district. I had the highest numbers and would even use my personal time to go market and sell all to get the management position, you know what happened? I got stiffed by middle management and they brought in a new guy who had previous experience at another company. I went to the restroom and cried. That day I learned what company loyalty is.
@@brianadlich4406 depends in the field..i work in operations for two suppliers...i finish both jobs within 8 hours for the day..ive bn in operations for so long i cld finish any jb in 4 or 5 hours..so..just depends on the field.
I bet most of these executive-level people that might complain are on the board of one or more other orgs, where they collect a paycheck for attending a meeting once or twice a year.
@@fazalihtisham4421 you do almost everything they try to shame you for doing work another job, get multiple streams of income and push your self for your means not the means of a company.
@@rtierra Fox News doesn't see people being forced to work multiple jobs to survive as oppressive, their version of oppression is companies requiring vaccine passports (Fox News also requires vaccine passports for their employees)
I thought of doing that with a vpn. Have an employee in Mexico do the interview with my name and have the money go into my account and I cut them 50 percent of after tax profits. Even for a minimum wage job where I live it would still be a good wage down there.
I could not agree with this advice more. I'm a Boomer (62 this year, will be retiring early), have been working in IT for 37 years and have held numerous positions throughout my career all while rising up thru the ranks (full stack developer, lead, architect, mid manager, senior manager, director, VP). The only way I survived & thrived in this industry was to 1) change companies every 2-4 years to get the best salary increases / knowledge and 2) always have other active external connections to that next opportunity so you can jump fast if needed/wanted. Based upon today's job market & corporate environment the idea of having 2 jobs at once accomplishes all of my previous points simultaneously. I love the fact that this generation is putting companies on blast, effecting change and taking back control.
Dude, someone finally gets it. I was a fool killing myself for a single paycheck, now I'm gonna pay off a house in two years for about 30 hours of work a week. This is the way.
Being against employees with multiple jobs is about control. Employees are supposed to be dependent on the employer and fear the loss of their livelihood. Employees with multiple jobs make employers uneasy, thinking there's less control and ownership over the employee's livelihood, which they think impacts productivity, which is a fallacy. Employees with multiple jobs don't have to let their employers exert unnecessary control over their lives, because they can more readily quit. They choose when to be the pilot and when to be the passenger.
I have been working two jobs for 20 years. If I got laid off on my main job, I always had a back up. The second job, I have been there 20 years, I've built up a good 401k and 4 weeks vacation. If I didn't work 2 jobs, I would have no retirement and could not go on vacation.Josh, is very right. Be responsible for yourself, not your employer.
This is capitalism perfected. Max profit, minimum work, the perfect inverse to a companies goal to get the max work from you for minimum pay. It's exactly the same a selling a product: customers want the best thing for minimum price, producers want to sell the cheapest thing for as much as possible.
It really is. This kind of thing shows how messed up the 40 hour week system is. Everyone is time locked, not skill locked. I do maybe 10 hours of actual work at my job a week and the rest of the time is spent actually looking busy. Not because Im lazy, but because I have zero incentive to take on more work than I'm currently asked to do. I'd happily do more if I knew I'd be compensated for it.
Thus, both parties (employer and employee--but especially the *EMPLOYER*) should be able to meet in the middle to a mutually-satisfactory trade of money for labor. But if the employer can't/won't do that, then there's no reason for the employee not to work a 2nd job. If the employee is doing her job properly at both jobs, then all parties should be satisfied. Corporations aren't all that capitalist, huh...?
@@acsound Not at all. The worst enemies of capitalism, are capitalists. Look how Amazon was happy to raise it's minimal wage to $15 an hour and press the government to make it into law, just so it could hurt it's competiton. That's why Milton Friedman used to be for free enterprise and not big companies with big government. Big companies will always use the big government to hurt the system they themselves used to reach greatness.
@@acsound most modern corporations technically operate under "fascistic" principles. Heavy regulations, government interference, and inflationary banking make it very difficult for newcomers to rise up and challenge the entrenched classes. Thus their is no incentive for any company to improve, and they stagnate and grow corrupt.
What's the problem with working 2 jobs? Many people work 2-3 part-time jobs, no one complains. However when people work 2 FT jobs it's different? Hypocrites. If you can pull off working 2 FT jobs, then that's great for you. Go for it. Much of my time working is either spent in meetings (where I just pretend to pay attention and work on something else) or not really working all that hard.
Right-wingers: People should look after their own personal self-interest. Also right-wingers: People should submit themselves entirely to their corporate overlords.
I work with 3 jobs in unison because I'm efficient. I maintain top-level metrics for all of them and have yet to miss a deadline on either of them. There's no way to get ahead without entrepreneurship, and that requires startup capital or giving up a part of your dream to someone to supply it. Working 3 jobs at once is allowing me to build the capital to achieve my life goals!
@@alexjulius69 - Have since expanded to 4 jobs lol. Just a ton of applying and interviewing. It's super stressful, so I don't recommend it for everyone, but I'm able to do it and get ahead in life, so why not?
company: "we want to pay you as little as possible and get the maximum work out of you, while offering zero commitment to advancement or security, because capitalism" non-robot: "i want the opposite, because capitalism" company: "HOW DARE YOU!"
I've been working at a company for nearly 7 years. I've gotten awards repeatedly to the point that I capped on the measly $25 rewards that can be issued in a year. I don't have a side hustle as I spend my free time studying for Cisco, NetApp, and Microsoft certifications, and coding. Once I get to a certain level in a year and have my CE maintenance credits plan worked out I'll explore this. Company pays minimal wages, takes years to issue a 3 percent raise. The dumbest thing I've done is work so hard at this job. My co-workers do the absolute minimum and management depends on me to bail them out when something hard comes up. I'll be overjoyed to say goodbye to this job forever. The hilarious thing is that they've become extremely dependent on me, my job duties have quadrupled, and I have no idea who they'd find to replace me at the wages I'm paid, but can't manage a raise. The stuff you say is quite true. I'm glad I found your channel because it's helped unchain me from the corporate propaganda. I see now that it has been foolish of me to try so hard and that there is no point in doing so anywhere ever.
I worked two jobs for 22 yrs. I couldn’t take it anymore after a mental breakdown. I now take better care of myself, trimmed down my lifestyle & accept my limitations.
Messi played for barcelona for 21 years, crowded the best player multiple times, helped his team reach beyond imagination goals, yet his mural was removed 1 day after he left the team Take that in consideration next time you are throwing your life out of the window because of your job
Two jobs is one of the best ways to work your way into FREEDOM. I started a business while working a full-time job. That full-time position wasted so much of my time. I couldn't work harder for them because there wasn't enough I was even allowed to work on. I left the full-time job when my pay equaled the same for both jobs. Was easier to focus on the business and more than double my pay in two or three months.
Just beaultiful man. I've done the same. Free of shitty managers and shitty bosses. I've become the boss myself and make so much more money and better use of my time every single day It feels crazy to look back.
@@groundcontrol5365 I could never have afforded my kids (I already had the wife) if I hadn't broken free from my employer. I don't think I'd have ever made enough to keep (and share with them) the lifestyle I'd grown up with. But my dad did the same thing I did right before I was born.
This shouldn't even have to be "stealthily" done. Companies should pay you for work done, not time spent. If I get my job done in 10 hours I should 100% be able to do something else. However I understand if a company finds out they'll try assigning you 4x as much work, hence keeping that on the downlow.
I'm not stealthy at all about it with my current contractors. All the managers I talk to on a daily basis know I got multiple customers. As long as I keep providing them with the results expected, they don't raise any fuss about it.
Outside of your working day you can be anyone, even a famous gachimuchi actor. But business would manipulate you because of profits: what you are getting of the salary in average is 1/3 of your working time(including all losses). Other 2/3 of your working time is just a profit that going to the pocket of owner or board of directors.
Eh...disagree to a point. If this is a call center, WFH job, and they expect you to sit by the phone with their customer service app open on your computer for 8-hours each day, then I better get paid for 8 hours even if I get only 1 phone call. That's opportunity cost. If I'm not the only call rep, and I can get another call center job simultaneously to the point that there's a very low chance I'll have two calls at the exact same time, why not double-dip? The point is that relatively few jobs are really in a position to pay entirely based on productivity numbers. R&D work can take weeks or months (or longer) without producing a commercially useful output. Edison would have loved not to pay the engineers and scientists who developed the 800 ways NOT to build a lightbulb.
They need to BAN exclusivity in employment contracts as some states have done. You should be permitted to work as many jobs as you wish for whoever you want. And everyone should be a part of a trade union to get free access to legal assistance should you need it.
I am so sorry you have boomers giving you static. I am a boomer and the work place has changed radically over the last couple decades. If these boomers are working at companies for 10 years or so , as they get closer to any kind of retirement, the company they work for will screw them. The days of 30 years of loyalty to a company are long gone. You , young man understand the unspoken social contract. Company says” we will give you a job if we can pay you the least amount of money to extract the maximum of labor out of you. Employee says” I will except a job for the maximum money I can get and I refuse to be an indentured servant. Pretty simple, really.
Just wanted to thank you for your videos! Since I started watching your channel I found the courage to work a second job since last year, and I even have been promoted on both jobs , so there's nothing wrong on having two jobs.
I am referred to as 'Top Teir' in my industry. However, I don't get a 'Top Teir' salary, benefit or even respect by my managers. So I slowed down to be mediocre. In my reviews I don't get a pay rise for the work I do that is above and beyond, then why bother. Also, I am likely to get a job offer for another company in a different field that pays more so I just put in the effort to get by.
I work 2 remote jobs and it’s helping me pay off debt. I will eventually let one of the jobs go after I reach my financial goals but I’m grateful for the extra money.
when i was younger i remember my aunt would get mad at me for "trying to get the most credit for the least amount of effort" and gaslighted me to make me constantly feel bad about myself, but I now realize that is just taking care of myself, and I shouldnt feel bad for playing the game that everyone rich plays anyways.
I've learned from experience that those who TALK about how much work they do or how busy they are all the time are usually the people who produce the LEAST.
I was telling my dad about how my generation will probably quit a job every 5 years if it hasn't kept up with inflation or your skill growth and he looked at me like I had two heads. He was all 'I would never hire someone like that' and 'they need to be loyal'. When I brought up what the company was offering to keep them loyal he skirted the question. He got mad when a junior engineer asked for more money a year after being hired to live in an area with a extremely high cost of living. Its no use arguing with him lol
I've had two jobs for several years now for a couple different places. When one ended or they started treating me like crap I just found another second job. Having one job is a risk to me, it wouod be having all my eggs in one basket.
I work for two different positions and make 212k doing data science for each. I dont feel shit, but elation for saving money to pay off student debt. If I were you, I would definetly do it and take atvantage of the pandemic if you are in IT or an industry that does not require people to come in.
Boomers... Collectively, the corporate world acts like a spoiled woman used to leisure. Then her husband dies, and she finds out that he never saved any money. Then she has to live in the real world.
Just checked out the website. It is AMAZING. I actually had the idea of working two remote jobs but I wasn't sure how to go about it. Thank you so much for giving the little guys the resources to make it out there!
At one point I was working 3 jobs, now I have 2. I have a friend that used to have 2 jobs and sold her own arts / crafts at the same time as being a part time college student. As long as you know how to manage your schedule correctly and your work doesn't suffer, there's no reason why you can't have more than one job.
I recently retired and always played by the rules, and never really got anywhere, either. When I first saw this a few days ago, I felt so inspired about people being able to game the system in this way. You're right, they're not doing anything wrong, as long as they're able to do the work, why should it matter? You can bet I will be sharing this with my adult kids and/or anyone else it may be useful for. Who knows, if I end up going back to work, I could even do it myself, providing I could actually keep up. It was getting harder for me to keep up at the job I just retired from, but I could see the younger new hires catching on so quickly, it would probably be easy for them to do this, & who knows, possibly some of them did, and good for them.
i once had a claims processor job i killed it was doing over 40 claims an hour when i only had to do 18. i was like this is great at 6 months i can apply for something better within the company. nah they said they would took someone else with more seniority. i knew them i was doing 2-3x what they were doing in a week. after that i wrote a script that made it look like i was working because they had time stamps for each key pressed. so i just had a script go for 5 hours a day and i would be watching movies until time to clock out. until i got so bored i quit. never went back to office work lol
Going to echo what other commentors are noting since it's an important point. Corporate executives sit on the boards of different companies and have multiple income sources- including some of the anchors at Faux News... but it's not OK for working average Americans to do the same. "Do as I say not as I do!" is at work here.
the company's "unlimited PTO" policy is so they can avoid paying us for our unused vacation time if why leave (or they lay us off). It's an HR bamboozle and an accounting slight-of-hand.
“Your not helping yourselves get off the streets get a job we have funding problems we have inflation” When a person helps themselves they tell them to stop. This is the biggest issue
It's pathetic how much employers want to control their employees. What sad, paranoid people to feel to need to constantly look over everyone's shoulder and demand one sided loyalty
For the record, it IS potentially illegal for State employees to have (particular) outside employment in Texas. But if you're private sector, hell with it- get paid.
It doesn't have to be declared as a job, you might also provide a one-time service in exchange for a pay, oh and you casually get paid the same or more monthly. This is what happens in my country, cause we got a similar law lol.
I have just discovered your channel not too long ago. You are an important voice. I was a minister for almost two decades. Could not stomach the "industry" anymore. Suddenly I am a middle aged babe in the woods of unfettered capitalism having no idea how it actually works. The more I learn how it works, the less I like it. I see amazing people everywhere who don't matter and are treated like sh*t by their employers. I am one of them. Takes on toll on you. This is pushback and healthy boundaries. Appreciate you!
I'm in the Navy and even they allow you to have a 2nd job... you're supposed to report it and you might be denied if your current assignment is too demanding, but I have worked side jobs with no issue I just make sure it doesn't interfere with my job obligations.
This is true, the Navy will let you work a second job if you're in good standing with your command and there aren't extenuating circumstances. Crazy when even the military is a better employer than half the private sector. Better pay, better benefits, somehow better flexibility, childcare assistance...come on, Corporate America, you can be better.
I have not really had any corpo job or anything, but ween I seen they make you sign something saying anything you made when hired is there's. that some bull shit how is that even aloud tell me?
This was the push I needed! I work in Cyber Security right now, but I want to learn code so bad! So I think I’ll go ahead and pick up gigs freelancing now to build my portfolio to move into a job as an SRE. Self-taught programmers aren’t always seen in the best light so I think that’ll be my way to get a foot in the door. Thanks :)
I'm self taught as well and worked 3 months for free to hone my coding skills. Best decision I've ever made. Now 5 years later, there's always jobs everywhere, even tho I'm past the point of working for other people, since becoming a contractor and starting my own business.
I am in Infosec and have an Infosec degree coding is not the same as software engineering there is also no such thing as a self thought programmer. You might want to hold on a bit. I do EHR for hospitals Cyber Security is not the same as engineering good secure code. I think you are too far away from that goal.
@@elir.torres8642 ??? I don’t have any goals of continuing in Cyber Security. If I’m being honest, I hate it. I know much more than Cyber Security principals, I have a CCNA (working on CCNP), a couple AWS Certs, I can functionally use Terraform, Ansible, Grafana, Docker, and K8, on top of the regular eCPPT and CySA+ rigamarole that a lot of Cyber Security folk have, as well as, like you, a degree. Not that any of that really matters in the face of experience. I want to do SRE and/or Cloud Deployment like I said earlier. Sorry if I confused you with what I said. I really do just want to do Cloud Dev. If they want me to make code more secure then they’ll teach me, otherwise I fully intend to leave Cyber Security behind. I’d rather have the security of what I do be a part of the deployment life cycle, so it’ll be PART of my job, instead of EXCLUSIVELY my job as it is now. I already know how to use and read languages that all cyber security folk do (at least those at big companies) Powershell, Bash, and Python, but I want to do more than scripting but not be a full blown software engineer. And I’m not far away from that at all, I’m truly just one good GitHub project away. I think the part of “there being no self-taught programmer” is semantics, by that same logic there’s no self taught anything. There certainly aren’t self taught Cyber Security professionals. Everyone uses W3, stack overflow, as well as maybe a plain ol teacher, all in tandem. I understand that, but self taught in my parlance is more in reference to an HR system that doesn’t see all applicants in the same light.
@@pika2ftw I have a friend who went to school for IT Network Admin and Security he works at C3 advisors and SDWAN is taking over networks sorry bud. Its CS and product building from here on out. The market has shifted again.
Sounds you are looking to change positions rather than working a 2nd job. You can always just shadow with the fev team at your existing job an take on projects to gain some experience. I work on IT as well.
this is why getting paid by the hour is kind of a bad thing. You want to prolong the hours (without necessarily doing more work), while the client/company wants to decrease the hours (while getting more work out of you). Really is built like a lose-lose situation.
For many fields, yes. For others, hourly is a necessity. Any job where you're on call or standby, for instance, should be hourly. I want to be paid for every hour that I'm "available" to drop everything and rush to solve "your problem (TM)." Jobs that I might call "production" but that don't have a productivity number, like fast food or cashiers, or even assembly line workers should also be paid hourly. If a jam occurs upstream of the assembly line and you're standing around waiting for repairs to be made so you can get back to work, that shouldn't come out of your paycheck. Ditto for slow days at stores or restaurants, where you're onsite just in case a customer comes in. "Sorry, you didn't make any sales today, no pay for you." Unacceptable, I spent my whole day here, it's marketing dept's fault that no one wants to shop here. That's opportunity cost, and employers should have to pay it if they need availability in blocks of time rather than "per deliverable."
@@Lawrence330 true, being on "standby" should be hourly. fast food/cashier can have productivity numbers, but it's probably up and down throughout the day. So an averaged amount, which comes to an hourly wage, would probably be most suitable. But of course, it's still best for the worker to negotiate for hourly or KPM
I love how it's fine for CEOs etc. to be on the board of 3 companies and 2 'foundations' but Bob in the printing room can't have 2 jobs, sure. It is of strategic importance that CEOs hold multiple roles while low-level employees should basically be the property of the company. Great ethics.
Run when you see “unlimited pto”. It means they’re going to contact you on pto and you’ll never get a true break from work. They’ll also shame you for even wanting time off for a vacation at the same time. Just don’t. - former recruiter
I read a study that noted companies with unlimited PTO see employees take less on average because of the optics. No one wanted to be seen taking "too much."
I worked at one of these tech places (which shall remain unnamed) a few years ago. It was a huge company that had all those ridiculous game and nap rooms and free beer on Friday nights crap. They had the same contract for stealing all ideas from people who worked there (my coworkers who had ideas told me this). Luckily for me, I was a contractor and didn’t have to sign that contract due to an oversight. After working there a few months I came up with an idea and to fast forward a bit, I was just awarded the patent for it recently. That wouldn’t have happened if it were up to them.
I remember my last job required me to tell them if I had a 2nd job and even had to get permission from them. I never told them my 2nd job and just did it. Who do they think I am? It’s none of their business what I do in my free time as long as the job gets done.
As a man of Caribbean descent, working as many jobs as you can has always been an acceptable, even expected, facet of life. It is extremely troubling to see the acceptance and normalization of this “One job and one job alone” mentality, especially by workers.
Man, you are awesome!!!!! I am glad somebody had the courage to speak about this topic. Keep doing such a great job and lets hope more people can open their eyes.
This isn't even a new thing. In Britain, there's a chain of supermarkets called "Iceland". It was started in the 70s by two guys who'd been working as "junior managers" for a chain of department stores for several months, and they'd realised that there were no promotion prospects and "junior manager" was just a fancy title for a skivvy. So they came up with the idea of setting up a supermarket that specialised in fresh veg and frozen food - a simple business where if they rented a shop and got the right staff in, it would practically run itself. They carried on working as "junior managers" for the regular pay packet, and checked on the supermarket they'd started round the corner on their lunch breaks and after work - an arrangement that worked just fine. After a couple of months, their bosses at the department store found out somehow that they were running this supermarket on the side, and sacked them. So then they started running the supermarket full time, established a chain of them, and became millionaires.
I worked for a small publishing company doing Photoshop and InDesign work, and maintaining the company website on the side. I was tasked with updating all of over 1000 html files with new company information. The boss told me "it's going to take you a long time but it's super important." I tried to tell him about text editors with global search-and-replace and he said "don't do anything fancy. the website is very important so it has to be done the right way." I told him I could probably finish it by the end of the week. Fifteen minutes later, I'd updated all of the files. I left one document open on my computer for three days and screwed off the whole time; then proudly announced I was finished a whole day ahead of schedule.
If you can get away with working two jobs with minimum effort and maximum pay, you hit the jackpot. But above all else, you made an underpaid editor angry write online for the corporate overlords which is the ultimate satisfaction.
I knew my old job was pretty dependent on me. I never saw anyone get fired (okay one person) but I watched a lot of people quit. I stayed because it gave me some benefits I needed, despite crap pay and a toxic work environment. I understood that and was okay with it. The second I realized how unlikely it was for them to fire me, I became quite vocal about my second job. I made it clear that I was only supplementing with the second job to fill in the pay gap from the first. I framed it in a way that still prioritized the first job, and I think I even believed that myself for a time. Normally I would just keep this to myself, especially when I suspected nothing would happen with the information. I had a part time job I could upgrade to full time at the snap of my fingers, and I would find a way to make up for the benefits, so voicing my thoughts and concerns wasn't a risky gamble. I wanted them to see the instability they were creating with all their employees, even if they did nothing about it. The tale ends with me leaving the moment my benefits were no longer useful to me, and the bosses acting super surprised about this. I'm sure they still bad talk me like I "took advantage" of benefits I earned. Having employees with one foot out the door isn't a a sign of disloyalty, it's a sign of fucking dignity and forethought.
If you are a low wage worker, a second job is okay with most companys, even encourages in some cases......oh well pay them enough that they will show up tomorrow.
The guy who got fired for working two jobs just proves how much sense this all makes. He knew he was working for a shit employer and had a backup plan.
The problem e.g. in Central Europe is that you can be self-employed and then well... you just have a contract. And you can be "fully employed" by 1 company and you can't work "fully" for 2 companies. You can take up e.g. a 5-10-hour additional job but it's still a different kind of a contract (the second company then knows about the first one). It's pretty complex how it is here.
I work three jobs. I ain’t hiding shit from nobody. My employer knows. My work still gets done. First job: Web Dev/Graphic Artist - 2.8 years so far. Told them when I started that they can expect me to work at least two jobs at once Second Job: Run a Online Store for Collectibles, Funko Pop’s and Game related Items. Third Job: Uber Eats when I need extra spending money. Bought a $800 dollar shit box to deliver in. I’m gonna get my money one way or another. So it’s up to them if they want to keep paying me to build their stuff or they can spend another year and a half trying to find someone who does front-end and back-end and who is a talented graphic artist for their budget. Either way I’m gonna get that loot.
I had a colleague who worked remotely and quit his job when a new manager wanted to have daily teleconferences, the colleague was upset because he couldn’t get his work done, not so much from his primary job, but from his web designing side gig.
Gotta brag 😀 holding 3 jobs, each paying between $90-100 hour on W2, 40 hours per week!! Is it easy? Hell no. How can I get away with it? Because I can apply my knowledge and skills across the board & be done with the deliverables 2-3 hours a day per job.. Why do I like it more than having 1 job.. ofcourse it’s money, plus I feel like I own my boss instead them owning me 😀 End of the day, all my employers are happy.. so why not? 👨💻
If you do a great job you get more responsibilities. If you do an ok job you won't get much work. Both scenarios keep you employed but only one leaves your sanity intact. After overachieving for a year at my job I needed a year off to get myself into a stable state of mind. I stayed home for a year and slept, ate and got fat. And that's what I needed after burning out.

I appreciate your mindset. I will pay off my student loans and I STILL want student loan forgiveness. It’s the same mindset. I want the people behind me to have it BETTER than I did not the same or worse.
@@sarahjaynescott545 i doubt they think that far. Their eyes focus on the profit and making sure the business survives. Which is not unreasonable to do. And on the flip side, many smaller businesses would go under or could not afford to pay employees livable wages of ~24 dollars an hour. A lot of this is due to how the economy works rather than the small businesses.
I remember a janitor job I had. I was paid to be there for 4 hours. My first day, I finished my work in 30 minutes. I told my boss, and I was rewarded with doing everyone else's job for the rest of the 3.5 hours. From then on you couldn't find me working. I'd finish my work within 20 minutes of arriving and read audiobooks in the changing room until I was no longer paid to consume oxygen on property. Fuck these weirdos.
I do the same thing at mine. I work as a contract house cleaner and one of the companies I work with pays by the hour. For each contract, they list how long they expect the job to take. I'm pretty efficient, so I always finish early, sometimes with nearly an hour to spare. If the customer is home, I'll work slower or pretend to clean things that don't need it until time runs out (or I'll drive home and clock out when I park). If the customer's not home, I just wait the clock out and call it a day. Every house I clean looks fantastic, and I intend to collect my full pay for each one. I shouldn't be penalized for being better at my job than they anticpated
@@tabithaalphess2115 you just need to start your own cleaning company and undercut your boss. You'll make way more per hour and improve your self respect.

Yep. If you finish your work, you get rewarded with more work. You have to do the work of people who show up late and spend their time socializing and making friends, including with the boss. Then you’re seen as the stressed-out b*tch, and they’re popular and loved by everyone. Slow down. When you finish your work, keep busy cleaning up and organizing your area. Better yet, intersperse these activities so it’s not obvious.

Ayyy Tina whats up much love homie,big fan
I'm sure you know this already, but the point of a job is exchange work for money, and you usually gain xp in the process. So I don't see why there would be problem with working two jobs as long as the work gets done.
They are acting like a sect. They manipulate , lies and gasligth to do their biding. Sometimes , they treatened to you so you do not things that migth for your interests you or leave the company and exposed of how much a fraudalent and liar they are. Companies nowadays are becomining very sectarian using word like " us vs them" language and the whole family façade. For them is it unconceeivable that people see their job as a mean of survival and nothing more.Sure some like their job but usually because their boss a good leader and they care about their employees. But that is a minority. The majority want to bosse around , absulute obedience, narcisistic and phsycopath.
If anything, if i found out a team member was capable of being able to do two jobs and satisfy all parties needed, then i would actually try incentivise them to stay, those kind of time management skills and work ethics dont come around all that often
I worked two job, both businesses were in the same building by the way lol. My bosses were cool about it.
But there are people who sit on multiple boards of different companies. 🙄 And it's all legal. "Interlocking directorates"

Screw it. If the board members can play the game, so should the employees. Loyalty means nothing.

Look, I personally know a guy who's a software engineer who works two jobs and hasn't gone over 45 hours a week yet. He makes 200k by doing this and is now in a position to drop one job for one that brings in 130k for a total of 230k annually. Why not?!
Good point
The Soviets had a wonderful saying: "You pretend to pay me, I'll pretend to work." I remember some time ago my boss found out that I was working a side gig as a EMT. He called me into the office and told me that working a second job creates a conflict of interest. I told him that there's no conflict of interest working as a librarian and an EMT. If he went into hypoglycemia (boss was a diabetic) would he bother to ask if EMT or paramedic had a second job?
"You pretend to pay me, I'll pretend to work."
Thank you, whomever this Soviet person. Also thank you, for sharing this wisdom.
I'm a librarian too. Good to know.
I heard of this before. I was not really surprised. It just means that Employer and Employee are a Deceptive Relationship. The Employer doesn't have to be honest to you, and neither do you.
In the Communist countries(Especially Russia), people lie to each other all the time, and that has become a "Lifestyle".
Some bosses appreciate their employees having a 2nd job. There are many amazing perks:
#1. Your company is not 100% responsible for the person's livelihood, so they're less likely to want a raise or promotion.
#2. The skills they learn in their 2nd job can benefit their first job too; free employee education.
It empowers you, so they hate it.
"Is it unethical? I don't care. Is it immoral? My morals are flexible to the need to my extent to feed my family". Love it! I love the no BS straightforward talk.
It's funny how these executives and CEOs will say this is immoral and these are signs of a horrible employee. Yet these are the same people who sit on 3-4 boards and also run 2-3 other businesses??? How can they make additional income and grow their net worth but scuffed at someone who is trying to do the same??
its called hypocrisy. its inherent in every capitalist/conservative.
They can do it, you can't.
If you want to know if something is morally good in corporate America, just ask the question: "does the shareholders make money out of this?"
If the answer is no, it is morally wrong.
A second job? Wrong.
Changing jobs? Morally wrong.
Leaving the office on time or asking for paid extra hours? WRONG!
@@troywalkertheprogressivean8433 Says the hypocritical "progressive"

Well, let's be reasonable. I didn't see any CEO's words in the article. What I did see is the article writer trying to rub a morally wrong, secrecy or illegal feeling to something that's perfectly normal and have been done for years by high performance professionals, even before covid.
@@troywalkertheprogressivean8433 It's precisely a capitalist society that allows this kind of free enterprise so that regular people may always pursue more for themselves and produce more for such society as a result. It prospers with abundant labor available, work being done and proper compensation. It is socialist societies that freeze people in their "economic class".
I notice that any time a worker has more leverage, all of sudden the company has a problem with it.
If a worker needs multiple jobs, usually the reason is because their main job isn't paying them a
livable wage.
DING DING DING
it can also mean that it is not a job that you can't trust you will have in the long run, remember EA and Blizzard , they fired hundreds of employees even after record earnings
Eventually, the mass population will figure out that people need more money to survive. And stop shielding the CEO's who hoard most of the profits. While they "trickle down" a few pennies to every thousand dollars they take in.
@@jalasword Exactly. It's being revealed that most companies are ran by people with narcissistic personality disorder. They view people as a means to their own comfortable life, no matter how badly this inconveniences workers.
I've had multiple jobs for years now, and it's not because "the main" one wasn't paying a livable wage. It's just cuz I wanted more for myself and achieve my goals faster.
People need to drop this main job, 9 to 5 idea. You got skills that are valuable to society? Make society pay big time by being available to multiple buyers. Play the market. Get even more skills. Raise your prices. No one is going to take care of you better than yourself.
These days getting the job done isn’t enough. You have to be a “team player” and suck the skin off your overseers.
True and it always has as seen from boomer skin suckers 💩
God forbid they restrict "team player" to its original meaning of "works and plays well with others", which someone can as surely do with two jobs as one. Heck, someone can do that as an introverted data analyst or other private worker, simply by handing in their stuff on time and not being a jerk to their coworkers during the interactions necessary to the job.
yeah tbh i would much rather spend the down time at work to recouperate. speding time with coworkers is too stressful because you have to filter what you say.

Not necessarily, you should to seek a new job carefully

I remember when I used to BEG for more hours at Walmart and got brushed off. Once they found out I picked up a second job they tried to guilt me by saying, “don’t you have a toddler at home? Working 2 jobs isn’t good for you.” I told them, “thanks for caring, are you going to give me more hours here?” They gave me a false promise, I left that other job (with benefits-I was naive and in my early 20s). 8 months passed and still no change in hours, so I quit.

This man SPOKE THE TRUTH !!! You do not get to decide when you "climb the corporate ladder" at your job. It is always up to them to decide when you move up to fulfill some sort of need or requirement THEY have. You can work your tail off DAY AND NIGHT, but you will NOT get that promotion unless they need you to do even more work. I am in Silicon Valley and for anyone reading this - just know that it is NOT a meritocacy - and the only freedom you have is to change jobs; but if you can work TWO jobs, then go for it. You are getting paid to fulfill a SPECIFIC need and not to be at their "beck and call" to fulfill EVERY need, which is a mistake I see many NEW, YOUNGER workers do and what I was guilty of doing also. God Bless The Internet !!!
It depends on the contract you sign. Many contracts state that you are at their beck and call to fulfil every need. And new / young workers would be idiots not to sign any contract placed before them. You don't have any bargaining power until you can say no to a job offer without financial penalty - impossible unless you're already employed.

I'm a Boomer (62 this year, will be retiring early), have been working in IT for 37 years and have held numerous positions throughout my career all while rising up thru the ranks (full stack developer, lead, architect, mid manager, senior manager, director, VP). The only way I survived & thrived in this industry was to 1) change companies every 2-4 years to get the best salary increases / knowledge and 2) always have other active external connections to that next opportunity so you can jump fast if needed/wanted.
Based upon today's job market & corporate environment the idea of having 2 jobs at once accomplishes all of my previous points simultaneously. I love the fact that this generation is putting companies on blast, effecting change and taking back control.

Being against employees with multiple jobs is about control. Employees are supposed to be dependent on the employer and fear the loss of their livelihood. Employees with multiple jobs make employers uneasy, thinking there's less control and ownership over the employee's livelihood, which they think impacts productivity, which is a fallacy. Employees with multiple jobs don't have to let their employers exert unnecessary control over their lives, because they can more readily quit. They choose when to be the pilot and when to be the passenger.
I have been working two jobs for 20 years. If I got laid off on my main job, I always had a back up. The second job, I have been there 20 years, I've built up a good 401k and 4 weeks vacation. If I didn't work 2 jobs, I would have no retirement and could not go on vacation.Josh, is very right. Be responsible for yourself, not your employer.
I'm baffled at how you do 2 full time jobs at once
This is capitalism perfected. Max profit, minimum work, the perfect inverse to a companies goal to get the max work from you for minimum pay.
It's exactly the same a selling a product: customers want the best thing for minimum price, producers want to sell the cheapest thing for as much as possible.
It really is. This kind of thing shows how messed up the 40 hour week system is. Everyone is time locked, not skill locked. I do maybe 10 hours of actual work at my job a week and the rest of the time is spent actually looking busy.
Not because Im lazy, but because I have zero incentive to take on more work than I'm currently asked to do. I'd happily do more if I knew I'd be compensated for it.
@@OtherDalfite I know, right?
Thus, both parties (employer and employee--but especially the *EMPLOYER*) should be able to meet in the middle to a mutually-satisfactory trade of money for labor. But if the employer can't/won't do that, then there's no reason for the employee not to work a 2nd job. If the employee is doing her job properly at both jobs, then all parties should be satisfied.
Corporations aren't all that capitalist, huh...?
@@acsound Not at all. The worst enemies of capitalism, are capitalists. Look how Amazon was happy to raise it's minimal wage to $15 an hour and press the government to make it into law, just so it could hurt it's competiton.
That's why Milton Friedman used to be for free enterprise and not big companies with big government. Big companies will always use the big government to hurt the system they themselves used to reach greatness.
@@acsound most modern corporations technically operate under "fascistic" principles. Heavy regulations, government interference, and inflationary banking make it very difficult for newcomers to rise up and challenge the entrenched classes. Thus their is no incentive for any company to improve, and they stagnate and grow corrupt.
What's the problem with working 2 jobs? Many people work 2-3 part-time jobs, no one complains. However when people work 2 FT jobs it's different? Hypocrites. If you can pull off working 2 FT jobs, then that's great for you. Go for it. Much of my time working is either spent in meetings (where I just pretend to pay attention and work on something else) or not really working all that hard.
Exactly, I don’t see how it’s any different
Right-wingers: People should look after their own personal self-interest.
Also right-wingers: People should submit themselves entirely to their corporate overlords.
Corporate cucks.
I work with 3 jobs in unison because I'm efficient. I maintain top-level metrics for all of them and have yet to miss a deadline on either of them. There's no way to get ahead without entrepreneurship, and that requires startup capital or giving up a part of your dream to someone to supply it. Working 3 jobs at once is allowing me to build the capital to achieve my life goals!
Hope you achieve your goal
How in the shit did you get 3 jobs?
@@alexjulius69 - Have since expanded to 4 jobs lol. Just a ton of applying and interviewing. It's super stressful, so I don't recommend it for everyone, but I'm able to do it and get ahead in life, so why not?
Isn’t that precious
company: "we want to pay you as little as possible and get the maximum work out of you, while offering zero commitment to advancement or security, because capitalism"
non-robot: "i want the opposite, because capitalism"
company: "HOW DARE YOU!"
I've been working at a company for nearly 7 years. I've gotten awards repeatedly to the point that I capped on the measly $25 rewards that can be issued in a year. I don't have a side hustle as I spend my free time studying for Cisco, NetApp, and Microsoft certifications, and coding. Once I get to a certain level in a year and have my CE maintenance credits plan worked out I'll explore this. Company pays minimal wages, takes years to issue a 3 percent raise. The dumbest thing I've done is work so hard at this job. My co-workers do the absolute minimum and management depends on me to bail them out when something hard comes up. I'll be overjoyed to say goodbye to this job forever. The hilarious thing is that they've become extremely dependent on me, my job duties have quadrupled, and I have no idea who they'd find to replace me at the wages I'm paid, but can't manage a raise. The stuff you say is quite true. I'm glad I found your channel because it's helped unchain me from the corporate propaganda. I see now that it has been foolish of me to try so hard and that there is no point in doing so anywhere ever.
I worked two jobs for 22 yrs. I couldn’t take it anymore after a mental breakdown. I now take better care of myself, trimmed down my lifestyle & accept my limitations.
Messi played for barcelona for 21 years, crowded the best player multiple times, helped his team reach beyond imagination goals, yet his mural was removed 1 day after he left the team
Take that in consideration next time you are throwing your life out of the window because of your job
Couldn't have said it better
To be fair, it might have something to do about image rights.
Im ignorant in that aspect but its a possibility
Two jobs is one of the best ways to work your way into FREEDOM. I started a business while working a full-time job. That full-time position wasted so much of my time. I couldn't work harder for them because there wasn't enough I was even allowed to work on. I left the full-time job when my pay equaled the same for both jobs. Was easier to focus on the business and more than double my pay in two or three months.
Just beaultiful man. I've done the same. Free of shitty managers and shitty bosses. I've become the boss myself and make so much more money and better use of my time every single day It feels crazy to look back.
What business did you start!? And how did you have energy to start a business while working full time
They don't want you to be free lol. They want to own you. If you have a wife and kids and responsibilities you usually will become one
@@groundcontrol5365 I could never have afforded my kids (I already had the wife) if I hadn't broken free from my employer. I don't think I'd have ever made enough to keep (and share with them) the lifestyle I'd grown up with. But my dad did the same thing I did right before I was born.
I've been working two remote full-time jobs for 2 years. Thanks for saying all the things out loud that help me keep it all in perspective.
This shouldn't even have to be "stealthily" done. Companies should pay you for work done, not time spent. If I get my job done in 10 hours I should 100% be able to do something else. However I understand if a company finds out they'll try assigning you 4x as much work, hence keeping that on the downlow.
I'm not stealthy at all about it with my current contractors. All the managers I talk to on a daily basis know I got multiple customers. As long as I keep providing them with the results expected, they don't raise any fuss about it.
Outside of your working day you can be anyone, even a famous gachimuchi actor. But business would manipulate you because of profits: what you are getting of the salary in average is 1/3 of your working time(including all losses). Other 2/3 of your working time is just a profit that going to the pocket of owner or board of directors.
Eh...disagree to a point. If this is a call center, WFH job, and they expect you to sit by the phone with their customer service app open on your computer for 8-hours each day, then I better get paid for 8 hours even if I get only 1 phone call. That's opportunity cost.
If I'm not the only call rep, and I can get another call center job simultaneously to the point that there's a very low chance I'll have two calls at the exact same time, why not double-dip?
The point is that relatively few jobs are really in a position to pay entirely based on productivity numbers. R&D work can take weeks or months (or longer) without producing a commercially useful output. Edison would have loved not to pay the engineers and scientists who developed the 800 ways NOT to build a lightbulb.
They need to BAN exclusivity in employment contracts as some states have done. You should be permitted to work as many jobs as you wish for whoever you want. And everyone should be a part of a trade union to get free access to legal assistance should you need it.
I am so sorry you have boomers giving you static. I am a boomer and the work place has changed radically over the last couple decades. If these boomers are working at companies for 10 years or so , as they get closer to any kind of retirement, the company they work for will screw them. The days of 30 years of loyalty to a company are long gone. You , young man understand the unspoken social contract. Company says” we will give you a job if we can pay you the least amount of money to extract the maximum of labor out of you. Employee says” I will except a job for the maximum money I can get and I refuse to be an indentured servant. Pretty simple, really.
Just wanted to thank you for your videos! Since I started watching your channel I found the courage to work a second job since last year, and I even have been promoted on both jobs , so there's nothing wrong on having two jobs.
promoted at both? dude that's beautiful!!
Mans a Legend!
Fucking legend🙌
I am referred to as 'Top Teir' in my industry. However, I don't get a 'Top Teir' salary, benefit or even respect by my managers.
So I slowed down to be mediocre. In my reviews I don't get a pay rise for the work I do that is above and beyond, then why bother.
Also, I am likely to get a job offer for another company in a different field that pays more so I just put in the effort to get by.
I work 2 remote jobs and it’s helping me pay off debt. I will eventually let one of the jobs go after I reach my financial goals but I’m grateful for the extra money.
Honestly, this is why I am considering this as well!
Back in the early 2000's multitasking was the big new thing. Seems like some big brains have figured out how to use it to their advantage. Chapeau!
If a company wants 100% of your time and effort, then they should earn it. Pay them more
Exactly, exclusivity has a price.
Funny, companies say "no free lunch" all the time, but they love to have some free lunch themselves.
when i was younger i remember my aunt would get mad at me for "trying to get the most credit for the least amount of effort" and gaslighted me to make me constantly feel bad about myself, but I now realize that is just taking care of myself, and I shouldnt feel bad for playing the game that everyone rich plays anyways.
I've learned from experience that those who TALK about how much work they do or how busy they are all the time are usually the people who produce the LEAST.
I was telling my dad about how my generation will probably quit a job every 5 years if it hasn't kept up with inflation or your skill growth and he looked at me like I had two heads. He was all 'I would never hire someone like that' and 'they need to be loyal'. When I brought up what the company was offering to keep them loyal he skirted the question. He got mad when a junior engineer asked for more money a year after being hired to live in an area with a extremely high cost of living. Its no use arguing with him lol
The thing is, companies' goal is the opposite; to give us the least credit (money) for the most amount of effort. Play the game.
@@Seattle-2017 yeah so fuck the companies 😂
In the corporate world they call this the Pareto Principle.
Love the content, Josh. Your videos are not only highly informative, but also very funny. I truly appreciate your work.
He talk the stuff no one talks about
I've had two jobs for several years now for a couple different places. When one ended or they started treating me like crap I just found another second job. Having one job is a risk to me, it wouod be having all my eggs in one basket.
I work for two different positions and make 212k doing data science for each. I dont feel shit, but elation for saving money to pay off student debt. If I were you, I would definetly do it and take atvantage of the pandemic if you are in IT or an industry that does not require people to come in.
Boomers...
Collectively, the corporate world acts like a spoiled woman used to leisure. Then her husband dies, and she finds out that he never saved any money.
Then she has to live in the real world.
Started doing this last year. I lasted 10 months making >160K working 50 hour weeks.
Just checked out the website. It is AMAZING. I actually had the idea of working two remote jobs but I wasn't sure how to go about it. Thank you so much for giving the little guys the resources to make it out there!
what websites do you use to find remote jobs that are legit? indeed seems to be inundated with scam jobs.
Yup... This whole loyalty thing is so one-sided bullsh!t.
Today I realized my job was killing me...I have no joy....
At one point I was working 3 jobs, now I have 2. I have a friend that used to have 2 jobs and sold her own arts / crafts at the same time as being a part time college student. As long as you know how to manage your schedule correctly and your work doesn't suffer, there's no reason why you can't have more than one job.
I recently retired and always played by the rules, and never really got anywhere, either. When I first saw this a few days ago, I felt so inspired about people being able to game the system in this way. You're right, they're not doing anything wrong, as long as they're able to do the work, why should it matter? You can bet I will be sharing this with my adult kids and/or anyone else it may be useful for. Who knows, if I end up going back to work, I could even do it myself, providing I could actually keep up. It was getting harder for me to keep up at the job I just retired from, but I could see the younger new hires catching on so quickly, it would probably be easy for them to do this, & who knows, possibly some of them did, and good for them.
Hey Josh. Thanks for sharing this.
If companies think having multiple jobs is bad I wonder what they think about having multiple subjects in school.
i once had a claims processor job i killed it was doing over 40 claims an hour when i only had to do 18. i was like this is great at 6 months i can apply for something better within the company. nah they said they would took someone else with more seniority. i knew them i was doing 2-3x what they were doing in a week. after that i wrote a script that made it look like i was working because they had time stamps for each key pressed. so i just had a script go for 5 hours a day and i would be watching movies until time to clock out. until i got so bored i quit. never went back to office work lol
Going to echo what other commentors are noting since it's an important point. Corporate executives sit on the boards of different companies and have multiple income sources- including some of the anchors at Faux News... but it's not OK for working average Americans to do the same. "Do as I say not as I do!" is at work here.
It's exactly by copying the customs of the rich that we can also become rich. There's nothing they can do about it, let them whine.
I love this guy! It's nice to see someone who speaks out against corporate bullsh*t.
the company's "unlimited PTO" policy is so they can avoid paying us for our unused vacation time if why leave (or they lay us off). It's an HR bamboozle and an accounting slight-of-hand.
Interesting 🤨 I’ve seen a lot of unlimited pto offered at tech start ups
“Your not helping yourselves get off the streets get a job we have funding problems we have inflation” When a person helps themselves they tell them to stop. This is the biggest issue
This totally happened to me at a former job. It's one of the reasons I left. So much happier now!
It's pathetic how much employers want to control their employees. What sad, paranoid people to feel to need to constantly look over everyone's shoulder and demand one sided loyalty
The lady in Atlanta is a BOSS! wow!
The company won’t think twice about laying off hundreds of people. Won’t think twice about laying off a 20 year employee.
For the record, it IS potentially illegal for State employees to have (particular) outside employment in Texas. But if you're private sector, hell with it- get paid.
It doesn't have to be declared as a job, you might also provide a one-time service in exchange for a pay, oh and you casually get paid the same or more monthly.
This is what happens in my country, cause we got a similar law lol.
I have just discovered your channel not too long ago. You are an important voice. I was a minister for almost two decades. Could not stomach the "industry" anymore. Suddenly I am a middle aged babe in the woods of unfettered capitalism having no idea how it actually works. The more I learn how it works, the less I like it. I see amazing people everywhere who don't matter and are treated like sh*t by their employers. I am one of them. Takes on toll on you. This is pushback and healthy boundaries. Appreciate you!
I'm in the Navy and even they allow you to have a 2nd job... you're supposed to report it and you might be denied if your current assignment is too demanding, but I have worked side jobs with no issue I just make sure it doesn't interfere with my job obligations.
This is true, the Navy will let you work a second job if you're in good standing with your command and there aren't extenuating circumstances.
Crazy when even the military is a better employer than half the private sector. Better pay, better benefits, somehow better flexibility, childcare assistance...come on, Corporate America, you can be better.
I have not really had any corpo job or anything, but ween I seen they make you sign something saying anything you made when hired is there's. that some bull shit how is that even aloud tell me?
I've said it before and I'll say it again - you're doing God's work, Josh, keep ripping these simps apart!
The real tragedy is people needing to work 2 jobs... Fuck that. I would rather die
Me too
This was the push I needed! I work in Cyber Security right now, but I want to learn code so bad! So I think I’ll go ahead and pick up gigs freelancing now to build my portfolio to move into a job as an SRE. Self-taught programmers aren’t always seen in the best light so I think that’ll be my way to get a foot in the door. Thanks :)
I'm self taught as well and worked 3 months for free to hone my coding skills. Best decision I've ever made. Now 5 years later, there's always jobs everywhere, even tho I'm past the point of working for other people, since becoming a contractor and starting my own business.
I am in Infosec and have an Infosec degree coding is not the same as software engineering there is also no such thing as a self thought programmer. You might want to hold on a bit. I do EHR for hospitals Cyber Security is not the same as engineering good secure code. I think you are too far away from that goal.
@@elir.torres8642 ??? I don’t have any goals of continuing in Cyber Security. If I’m being honest, I hate it. I know much more than Cyber Security principals, I have a CCNA (working on CCNP), a couple AWS Certs, I can functionally use Terraform, Ansible, Grafana, Docker, and K8, on top of the regular eCPPT and CySA+ rigamarole that a lot of Cyber Security folk have, as well as, like you, a degree. Not that any of that really matters in the face of experience. I want to do SRE and/or Cloud Deployment like I said earlier. Sorry if I confused you with what I said. I really do just want to do Cloud Dev. If they want me to make code more secure then they’ll teach me, otherwise I fully intend to leave Cyber Security behind. I’d rather have the security of what I do be a part of the deployment life cycle, so it’ll be PART of my job, instead of EXCLUSIVELY my job as it is now. I already know how to use and read languages that all cyber security folk do (at least those at big companies) Powershell, Bash, and Python, but I want to do more than scripting but not be a full blown software engineer. And I’m not far away from that at all, I’m truly just one good GitHub project away. I think the part of “there being no self-taught programmer” is semantics, by that same logic there’s no self taught anything. There certainly aren’t self taught Cyber Security professionals. Everyone uses W3, stack overflow, as well as maybe a plain ol teacher, all in tandem. I understand that, but self taught in my parlance is more in reference to an HR system that doesn’t see all applicants in the same light.
@@pika2ftw I have a friend who went to school for IT Network Admin and Security he works at C3 advisors and SDWAN is taking over networks sorry bud. Its CS and product building from here on out. The market has shifted again.
Sounds you are looking to change positions rather than working a 2nd job. You can always just shadow with the fev team at your existing job an take on projects to gain some experience. I work on IT as well.
“Unpaid internships”😂😂you’re so right
this is why getting paid by the hour is kind of a bad thing.
You want to prolong the hours (without necessarily doing more work), while the client/company wants to decrease the hours (while getting more work out of you).
Really is built like a lose-lose situation.
For many fields, yes. For others, hourly is a necessity. Any job where you're on call or standby, for instance, should be hourly. I want to be paid for every hour that I'm "available" to drop everything and rush to solve "your problem (TM)."
Jobs that I might call "production" but that don't have a productivity number, like fast food or cashiers, or even assembly line workers should also be paid hourly. If a jam occurs upstream of the assembly line and you're standing around waiting for repairs to be made so you can get back to work, that shouldn't come out of your paycheck. Ditto for slow days at stores or restaurants, where you're onsite just in case a customer comes in. "Sorry, you didn't make any sales today, no pay for you." Unacceptable, I spent my whole day here, it's marketing dept's fault that no one wants to shop here. That's opportunity cost, and employers should have to pay it if they need availability in blocks of time rather than "per deliverable."
@@Lawrence330 true, being on "standby" should be hourly.
fast food/cashier can have productivity numbers, but it's probably up and down throughout the day. So an averaged amount, which comes to an hourly wage, would probably be most suitable.
But of course, it's still best for the worker to negotiate for hourly or KPM
I love how it's fine for CEOs etc. to be on the board of 3 companies and 2 'foundations' but Bob in the printing room can't have 2 jobs, sure. It is of strategic importance that CEOs hold multiple roles while low-level employees should basically be the property of the company. Great ethics.
Run when you see “unlimited pto”. It means they’re going to contact you on pto and you’ll never get a true break from work. They’ll also shame you for even wanting time off for a vacation at the same time.
Just don’t. - former recruiter
I read a study that noted companies with unlimited PTO see employees take less on average because of the optics. No one wanted to be seen taking "too much."
You can't win. People lost their jobs in 2020 and got put down for being on extended unemployment. Now you work two jobs you are also bad .
I worked at one of these tech places (which shall remain unnamed) a few years ago. It was a huge company that had all those ridiculous game and nap rooms and free beer on Friday nights crap.
They had the same contract for stealing all ideas from people who worked there (my coworkers who had ideas told me this). Luckily for me, I was a contractor and didn’t have to sign that contract due to an oversight.
After working there a few months I came up with an idea and to fast forward a bit, I was just awarded the patent for it recently. That wouldn’t have happened if it were up to them.
I remember my last job required me to tell them if I had a 2nd job and even had to get permission from them. I never told them my 2nd job and just did it. Who do they think I am? It’s none of their business what I do in my free time as long as the job gets done.
Employers need to pay you for 16 hours if they think they deserve 100% of you
They shame you for not working.
They shame you for working.
They're all about the shaming.
As a man of Caribbean descent, working as many jobs as you can has always been an acceptable, even expected, facet of life. It is extremely troubling to see the acceptance and normalization of this “One job and one job alone” mentality, especially by workers.
Man, you are awesome!!!!! I am glad somebody had the courage to speak about this topic. Keep doing such a great job and lets hope more people can open their eyes.
This isn't even a new thing. In Britain, there's a chain of supermarkets called "Iceland". It was started in the 70s by two guys who'd been working as "junior managers" for a chain of department stores for several months, and they'd realised that there were no promotion prospects and "junior manager" was just a fancy title for a skivvy. So they came up with the idea of setting up a supermarket that specialised in fresh veg and frozen food - a simple business where if they rented a shop and got the right staff in, it would practically run itself. They carried on working as "junior managers" for the regular pay packet, and checked on the supermarket they'd started round the corner on their lunch breaks and after work - an arrangement that worked just fine. After a couple of months, their bosses at the department store found out somehow that they were running this supermarket on the side, and sacked them. So then they started running the supermarket full time, established a chain of them, and became millionaires.
People wouldn't have to work two jobs if that first one paid enough money for us to live comfortably.
This is great. Thanks for introducing this website to us. Definitely going to "take advantage* of it
I worked for a small publishing company doing Photoshop and InDesign work, and maintaining the company website on the side. I was tasked with updating all of over 1000 html files with new company information. The boss told me "it's going to take you a long time but it's super important." I tried to tell him about text editors with global search-and-replace and he said "don't do anything fancy. the website is very important so it has to be done the right way." I told him I could probably finish it by the end of the week.
Fifteen minutes later, I'd updated all of the files. I left one document open on my computer for three days and screwed off the whole time; then proudly announced I was finished a whole day ahead of schedule.
If you can get away with working two jobs with minimum effort and maximum pay, you hit the jackpot. But above all else, you made an underpaid editor angry write online for the corporate overlords which is the ultimate satisfaction.
So much for imparciality in journalism lol
The funny thing is these big newspapers usually pay less than middle range media.
I knew my old job was pretty dependent on me. I never saw anyone get fired (okay one person) but I watched a lot of people quit. I stayed because it gave me some benefits I needed, despite crap pay and a toxic work environment. I understood that and was okay with it. The second I realized how unlikely it was for them to fire me, I became quite vocal about my second job. I made it clear that I was only supplementing with the second job to fill in the pay gap from the first. I framed it in a way that still prioritized the first job, and I think I even believed that myself for a time. Normally I would just keep this to myself, especially when I suspected nothing would happen with the information. I had a part time job I could upgrade to full time at the snap of my fingers, and I would find a way to make up for the benefits, so voicing my thoughts and concerns wasn't a risky gamble. I wanted them to see the instability they were creating with all their employees, even if they did nothing about it.
The tale ends with me leaving the moment my benefits were no longer useful to me, and the bosses acting super surprised about this. I'm sure they still bad talk me like I "took advantage" of benefits I earned. Having employees with one foot out the door isn't a a sign of disloyalty, it's a sign of fucking dignity and forethought.
What’s up with these companies thinking they completely own everything about you? Who are these people?
If you are a low wage worker, a second job is okay with most companys, even encourages in some cases......oh well pay them enough that they will show up tomorrow.
The guy who got fired for working two jobs just proves how much sense this all makes. He knew he was working for a shit employer and had a backup plan.
I’ve worked 2 jobs. One full time during the week, then part time on the weekends. I met both expectations with my employers
The problem e.g. in Central Europe is that you can be self-employed and then well... you just have a contract. And you can be "fully employed" by 1 company and you can't work "fully" for 2 companies. You can take up e.g. a 5-10-hour additional job but it's still a different kind of a contract (the second company then knows about the first one). It's pretty complex how it is here.
I think most of these are like fully employed + contract based/ part time/ freelancer
I have been watching every videos posted by you. Joshua, you helped me a lot in becoming confident and aware.
I work three jobs. I ain’t hiding shit from nobody. My employer knows. My work still gets done.
First job: Web Dev/Graphic Artist - 2.8 years so far. Told them when I started that they can expect me to work at least two jobs at once
Second Job: Run a Online Store for Collectibles, Funko Pop’s and Game related Items.
Third Job: Uber Eats when I need extra spending money. Bought a $800 dollar shit box to deliver in.
I’m gonna get my money one way or another.
So it’s up to them if they want to keep paying me to build their stuff or they can spend another year and a half trying to find someone who does front-end and back-end and who is a talented graphic artist for their budget. Either way I’m gonna get that loot.
I had a colleague who worked remotely and quit his job when a new manager wanted to have daily teleconferences, the colleague was upset because he couldn’t get his work done, not so much from his primary job, but from his web designing side gig.
Gotta brag 😀
holding 3 jobs, each paying between $90-100 hour on W2, 40 hours per week!!
Is it easy? Hell no.
How can I get away with it? Because I can apply my knowledge and skills across the board & be done with the deliverables 2-3 hours a day per job..
Why do I like it more than having 1 job.. ofcourse it’s money, plus I feel like I own my boss instead them owning me 😀
End of the day, all my employers are happy.. so why not? 👨💻
Glad I came across this site and video. Probably going to do this as I'm not enjoying where I currently am.
If you do a great job you get more responsibilities. If you do an ok job you won't get much work. Both scenarios keep you employed but only one leaves your sanity intact. After overachieving for a year at my job I needed a year off to get myself into a stable state of mind. I stayed home for a year and slept, ate and got fat. And that's what I needed after burning out.
