If you are overemployed, do you have more than one job? Does your "work week" consist of Monday through Friday?

Feel free to share your current situation and what steps you would take to feel less overemployed!

Depends on your work load. When the load at my J1 was too much I would work a full day focusing on J1 and then nights I’d focus on J2. For J2 I was plugged into an offshore team so working India Standard time was perfect for them.

When J1 relaxed, then I did some work on J2 during the day. Some weeks I worked 80 hours, others I work 40 between two jobs.

The jobs best suited to over-employment are those where you control your own schedule and admin a system. If alls well with the system you can coast indefinitely. But some semblance of control over your schedule is the key. People get very creative when attending two meetings at once!

How many jobs do you have? It depends what you do. You could automate some of the work potentially.

I have one employer, but the work I do is supposed to be within a 40 hour work week (Mon-Fri). I can't remember the last time I only worked 40 hours or had an "easy" week. Attrition, retirements, and turnover makes it difficult to do just the job I was hired for.

Additional Posts in Overemployed

I wish I was overemployed. Searching for gigs, but nothing yet. Any tips on how to get one or more extra jobs?

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??

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