I think overemployment reveals a messed-up job market. We shouldn't have to do this long-term...right? Anyone have thoughts on the bigger picture?

I think it reveals a way for individuals to finally take back what companies have taken advantage of from their employees for years. I’m tired of having to play the game and chase dangled carrots only to be given a 2% raise year after year and being looked over for promotions, esp given inflation. The cards are stacked against us. This is one way we can take back our power

Absolutely. Years of free labor, no raises, no recognition, no support for growing families or those who are simply caretaking parents, lack of mental health care, overall it’s been an absolute hostile sh*t show and this is our right. If this work is getting done, and no one is burning themselves out then why not

The job market is definitely messed up and overemployment is definitely a way people are taking back their power. When I was overemployed I made sure it was for a period of time; like 6 months to fulfill a contract or taking on more work to pay off debt or fulfill a goal of some sort. Of course I’ve read stories of people doing it for years but I can’t imagine the stress of doing it that long-term.

Current Strategy Consultant trying to find a 2nd remote job. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a 2nd job that is remote but not overbearing?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

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.
