> If someone is holding two jobs remotely, it mostly means they are in "bulls!!t" job where they are not utilized to adequate levels and the symptoms of low output is not correctly noticed.
You are putting too much faith in human nature. Lot of times, people are simply greedy and abuse the cultural norms put in place to allow slacks when truly warranted. Seen those stories first hand, and then there is https://www.reddit.com/r/overemployed/
You don’t have time to work two real full time jobs. If you have time to keep 2 bosses happy where both are expecting 40 hours a week from you and you are giving 20, then those bosses suck at gauging performance and making good hires.
If you are actually twice as productive as your co-workers and can manage a 40-hour a week job in 20, then the companies are getting what they paid for. Good for you that you found two jobs you’re uniquely qualified for. I’m happy you’re getting paid to do both jobs instead of having to waste the other 20 hours of your week on labor you don’t get paid for.
True story of what happened in my team. A new guy joins. Immediately 3 months after joining, says his dad is ill and takes a 4 month unpaid leave. But his stocks continue to vest because the company believes in letting people vest their stock even if they are on medical leave. Comes back and is not very productive. Extremely reluctant to turn his video on. Never comes for any in person events we have organized. Rest of the team is pulling weight for him throughout all this. Eventually, management becomes suspicious, investigates and discovers that he is holding two jobs. Instantly fired and company reconsiders all the nice accommodations they have put in place to help employees deal with covid.
I have seen my share of bad managers and bad companies. Believe me - there are bad employees as well who poison the well for others.
