When asked if I had a second job my response is yes... I can't allow for one sole entity be the only revenue generator I have. If this is a problem we may need to renegotiate my current salary......

What were the reasons you were given? I have and at the time, I had never been given negative feedback. I had never been told I wasn't meeting expectations. I never had any conversation with my boss about my performance being poor. This came completely out of the blue. I actually felt relieved after taking time to process what had happened.

I haven't ...yet, my manager has asked me from time to time if I have a second job, and I try to side step this question without outright denying it. But having a second job isn't illegal and I am not working for a competitor so I am not sure how my boss would handle the news that I had a second job if she knew for sure I had one. I am sure other people at our company has a second gig but I don't have proof or anything.

I've been fired before by a company that let me go because my "work performance was to high for company standards" I guess that's a good reason to fire someone though you'd think not you would think you'd be of some value to that company but instead they'd rather hire people with low performance rates they've tried reaching back out to me several times I've turned them down everytime if a company doesn't see your value they can kick rocks

I got fired because I had two jobs and didn’t disclose it to either company, which was a violation of company policy. I got fired from both as a result.

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job. Third: As the main job always has the priority, the Second and third jobs must preferably be contract gigs with not too many meetings everyday. Remember: another day, another dollar.

I really want to get a second job but I am scared of losing my current one. Both companies are in same field, although not direct competitors so I know it’s technically “not allowed” however, this is the only way for me to get that $$ since I am not paid all that well.

Of course I won’t tell a single friend/coworker. Only my partner. And I don’t post work stuff on social media.

Realistically what are the ODDS of being caught? Is there a legal/HR process with which they could find out??
