Are there any unknown "rules" against acquiring a second remote job?
Background: I work from home, and I love my job. Due to this, I don't want to jeopardize my current job but would love to acquire a second "easy" remote job that I think I may be able to secure (in process). While it pays less than my current job, it would be a great way to just funnel this money into a bank account and let it sit.
Are there any precautions I should be taking, or any unknown rules I should know about when/if acquiring a second job? For example, does my HR or company get notified by any sort of outside source (such as when they send me my W-2) that another company is sending me a W-2? What I have read online seems to be all over the place, and what I've generally come to the consensus of is that I can get a second job, and there shouldn't be any issue, just to make sure that I keep up the work for both jobs, if not, my "main" job which was already a given..... |

Prison Bitch did this and got busted by his employer, not sure how he got caught but there's a thread about it. I think there was a Zoom meeting and someone from his other company was somehow involved and spotted him. Pretty funny.
I don't think there is technically anything illegal about it, but you'll probably be fired if they somehow find out. I know several people who did it during Covid (short term at least) and never got busted. Not sure if it's worth it if you love your current job. |

Taking a second full time job from someone who actually needs the income to live is quite selfish.

The term for this is overemployed, there’s a community on reddit that would be a good resource

If you are going to do this, maybe work main job during normal working hours and second job off hours...
Was once a contract employee that was caught working a second, of course they were using main company's email to "Do business" for secondary job. and was only fired after not completing required training after saying that they did take it...

I mean if you get busted there will be issues, if you do a job that doesn't require a ton of work or meetings then you'll be fine.
Some companies let you do meetings without video and really only have an hour or 2 of work if you do that, then you can make it work. |

I'm a remote Software Engineer so I think I could pull it off since I'm project based, but I don't think I want the added responsibility then you have to hide your LinkedIn profile and all of that crap.
I agree, check out the Reddit forum on it though, thousands pull it off. |

I think the general rule is that as long as it's not a competing company and you don't let it interfere with the first job it's ok. But your company may have different policies. Job #2 should definitely know about Job #1 imo, or it would get really tricky.
