Have you ever?

They say loose lips sinks ships, and there are times when the secret of OE is accidently unveiled. It may or may not have been your fault.

What happened when you were "caught" in an OE situation? How did you move forward?

I got fired from both jobs. Collected unemployment, stressed myself out for a bit and found one good job but will pick up a second one again in a few months. This time I won’t tell a single soul.

Ouch, thankfully this has never happened to me but I know someone else that it happened to. She was let go from the company we work at together but I think the other company never found out. I suppose she was lucky that she still had one job.

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.

My current role is hybrid with at least two days a week in office. However, with the potential economic downturn, I'm considering holding on to the role to supplement my income.

I'm new to the overemployed movement, so I'm evaluating the feasibility of holding onto the hybrid role and the remote position.

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.
