Imagine if you will - you're killing it at J1 and skating at J2.

Boss from J1 hands out gold stars and accolades. No additional responsibilities are given. You feel appreciated.

Boss from J2 notices you have additional capacity and asks if you want to take on more, but no additional pay. You feel like you're pulling the weight of the slackers that should have been fired 5 years ago.

My question is: do you change what you're doing?

Depending on the circumstances, I'd have to consider the situation with J2. If the extra work could be managed, I'd try to negotiate more pay. If that's not forthcoming, I guess it would be time for a real decision on whether to continue with them. If the job is worth keeping, throw in the extra effort and do the work, I suppose.

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.
