Working two fulltime jobs 100% remotely. Anyone done/doing this?

[Anonymous]

Friend does this and I find it highly unethical
It requires a lot of lying when meetings overlap.
If the jobs are more task oriented and it can be done, okay, but deception is a deal breaker for me

I will admit, it's tempting. My current position is 100% WFH since the pandemic. The company did not renew its office space so the entire company is 100% remote. My boss moved to another state. Most of my coworkers have moved to lower COL areas as well. Even on a very busy day, I still have hours of time to goof off by watching TV or running errands. I'm a very fast, efficient worker and tend to pound out assignments/tasks very quickly instead of pushing them off. If I'm given a project on Monday that's due Friday, it's rare for me to not have it completed by Wednesday. I get excellent feedback and my yearly review in November was fantastic.

I have very few meetings at my current job (2/week max most of the time). I feel like I have the perfect set up to get a second job.

Most fully remote WFH people have a second job. Go for it. I have been doing it for about one year. Feels great as if lay-offs happen who cares. Dont ask permission. That is dumb Boomer Advice

And as employers adapt to this expectation the next generation will hate you when two parents each having to work two full time jobs to make a living wage becomes the new norm.

Seems like these people are all making high enough salaries for one job that many families are happy to live on. They are just maximizing their earnings while they are obviously young and childless and don't need a lot of time outside of work or hours to sleep.

I find it highly unethical that all my remote jobs required me to meet aggressive timelines and slapped me with deliverables that were complicated enough to have me work unpaid overtime.

Hard to quit one as huge hit to income.

And there is no such thing you owe money back.

I had an interview today for a third job paying 280k.

At work in 2022 I noticed “job abandonment” is a new big category of terminations. I imagine people with multiple jobs have balls to not even formally quit.

You are sooooo full of it.

ITA, I had been working remotely for years and I don't find it the case that employers are stupid enough to not manage your time and make sure you are busy and keep throwing work your way whenever you get a little window of free time.

Driving Uber or babysitting in the evening after a day job is common. This scenario posted by the OP is not, (if it's even true).

Who would audit me? I don't understand. If it was a gov/fed job, sure maybe. This is a private mid-sized company with between 30-50 employees.

We don't have tracking software on our machines. I know this for a fact because a) my industry is sort of tangentially related to that and b) my laptop died in October and my boss told me to use the company card to order a new one from Best Buy.

We have no time clock software either as we're all hourly. We either work 7-4, 8-5, or 9-6 - we just have to pick a time and stick to it, no jumping around 7-4 on Monday and 8-5 on Tuesday, etc.

I think I'll go for it. I already have a side hustle of reselling stuff online and I've been doing that since 2020. I usually make around $300/month doing that. I've been taking the extra money earned from that and depositing it directly into my IRA. If I had a second fulltime remote job, I'd probably finally be able to afford an apartment without roommates. Huzzah!

Oh it's happening.

Someone I follow on Instagram does IG lives during one of her jobs as a remote worker for a call center. She answers lots of questions and gives tips to others on how to get started. Her two jobs only overlap by a few hours. She works a normal 9-5 job and then logs in for her remote call center job from 2-10 pm.

Damn, OP. I want whatever your job is. I am in meetings 7 hours a day.

I had a hard enough time managing two PT WFH jobs. I had a FT and multiple PT jobs when I was 20s, early 30s (before kids).

I have two remote jobs in cybersecurity operations. The first job begins at 7am and ends at 3pm, while the 2nd job starts at 11pm and ends at 7am. I sleep between 3pm and 10pm, and also on the jobs between 12am and 7am. I am making 200K on the first job and 195K on the second job. I've been doing it since the pandemic of March 2020. I am going to quit my second job in a month since I've made enough money in the past three years.

Not being familiar with that field I had to google the range of salaries it pays.

According to this article your story doesn't seem to add up..

I posted earlier. I work remotely too, and I have a hard time having any life working just one job. Not aspiring to double-dip, just want some time with my kids and some free evenings, which is hard to get. I don't have so many meetings but I have multiple deliverables and people always piling on work. We are on agile and for some higher visibility projects status stand up calls are daily and you have to make progress every day. If you are waiting for anything and idle or reach the blocker they will know it and ask you to do something else or move on to another goal. OP must be doing Only Fans if she is making 6 figures working 2 hours a day
