Greed is one of the 7 deadly sins.

Most people have their reasons for having more than one job. Self-funding retirement accounts, saving for a large purchase, or planning for a once-in-a-lifetime luxury vacation. Once the goal is reached, is having more than one job considered greedy? Or are different goals created? How do you know when you're done with overemployment?

I’ve been having a difficult time selling at my company. I have a strong background in metal sales, but took a chance in residential sales right before inflation. My employer promised reimbursement for use of personal devices, which hasn’t happened, health care which he back tracked and made reference to but has not paid, I found out they’re looking for a new rep making the same false promises. Other than looking for other employment, do I have any alternatives to hold them accountable?

We feel this is taking advantage of tenants during this time and may not be legal. Any advice helps!

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job.
