Risks of obtaining a second job?

[TripleThreat]

What has been your experiences in picking up a second job (job number 2) that works the same hours as job number 1?

I work remote and in the healthcare field and I’m thinking of applying for a competitor to also work for. What are the risks that you guys have ever experienced?

My current job is pretty laxed which is the main reason I’m interested in pursuing this idea, however my concerns are the ability of either company finding out and then being termed by job number 1.

What are your experiences with having a secondary job and were the risks worth the reward? I think if I ever felt threatened I would just drop job number 2 asap before anything scratched the surfaced that would threaten job number 1…

A good friend of mine works three jobs, all virtually and they all don't know about each of them. He says the trick is to not do too much work so they don't expect much. His superiors really have no clue how much time it takes to do the work.

Sounds like 3 union jobs.

You must not be very valuable at your first job if you can work a second job during the same hours.

Maybe if you worked harder or where better at your FIRST job you would be compensated appropriately so you wouldn’t have to do this scumbag move?

I have a feeling you’re of the older generation from that way of thinking, however to put it into perspective of the year 2023 with “office work” our manager was promoted, that work was put onto me, along with my original job I was hired to do, when I asked to be compensated they took away my original work that I was hired to do, hired another person and left me with the managers work without the extra pay of what our original manager was making. So in a sense I was quiet hired into a more experienced role with lesser of pay with the excuse of “we are taking this away so you aren’t over worked” mind you I did both jobs for over 6 months before my wife was tired of me being overworked for the same pay.

If I’m really good at my job, and can do what others do in half the time, I don’t think it’s a scumbag move to explore my options, but you’re entitled to your opinion.

So no, if I worked harder they just find a different way to not pay me.

Yeah **** that place. Go to the competitor and get paid from both places.

Two questions.

1. Would another company compensate you fairly for the job you’re doing? Your current one you’re admitting is under paying you.
2. Are you gay?!!!!??!

Loyalty is either one way or no way. It’d be different to me if that were not true but life has taught me it is.

It is noteworthy that this technology exists in general for all who WFH.

Regardless depending on the nature of your role unless there is a conflict of interest (or if you signed something or otherwise agreed not to do so) I see no issue. That said how is there not a conflict of interest since we’re talking about competitors?

That's cute. You think bosses compensate based on hard work? Hard work is usually rewarded with more work. Changing jobs is the easiest way to get a pay bump.

Also, value =/= effort. Some of the most skilled and efficient workers have the lightest workload. But those hours can be critical to keeping the business running.

JFC, I hate this generation and this type of thinking. Good bosses/companies absolutely compensate based on hard work and performance. If your boss isn’t having quarterly reviews with you about your performance and doesn’t perform salary reviews and adjustments every year, find a different company and boss to work for. All of the “quiet quitting” and thought of not putting in effort because you’ll get more work is a loser’s mentality.

People secretly like this sort of approach though. They get to complain about not getting raises or reviews while secretly not working hard enough or being expected to actually do anything to deserve more. As you said, definitely a losers mentality and just another way to blame others for one’s own issues.

Same type of people who are going to complain when work from home goes away from their organization.
