Most of these people are over paid actually. Making without stock over 150k and then around the same in RSUs or more.

The issue is many folks were only doing like 3 or 4 hr a day and then double dipped to collect another paycheck because they had the time to. I don't necessarily fault them.

Friend of mine intentionally took a boring bank job making like 50k less than he was making (so around $125k a yr) so he could coast as a high performer there then planned and did find another gig in Pacific time (were east Coast) and then pulled two checks and still only worked like 42 hr a week.

This is the true reason there making work from home optional.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Huh? If the job can be done this fast and the contract says, you get this money for doing that, why should that be wrong, meaning why should anyone be unhappy?

Except companies are just in for the money and would rather pay you less ... Hmmm

and the contract says, you get this money for doing that

Almost certainly the contract doesn't say this tho.

Mine does. But I'm not working manual labor, so it definitely can and will differ I guess

Is that a job you could get away with working 2 at the same time remotely?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not really, maybe this one and a half time job or sth, I work 4-8 hours a day depending on what's happening (I work in it)

And if you're working on something for the second job, do you have to drop it if something comes up with the first one? Does the second job know you're going to be doing that?

Where did I say, that I have a second job? I don't, so that's that.
