In some cases of overemployment, "working" hours and meetings may overlap. You may find yourself working more hours per week, even though you're busy juggling 2+ jobs, it doesn't feel like it.

If your employers wouldn't go above and beyond for you, why would you go above and beyond?

Or an even better question: would you rather be average, maintain your presence for both, and stress less?

I think the better question should be, if I have 10 years of experience and multiple degrees and can get the work done in 4 hours, why do I have to be present for 8?

That's a very good point! As long as you get your work done, should it matter how long your day is? If I completed all of my tasks and didn't have to cover any phone calls, my day would be done in less than 4 hours!

PARTNERS: two questions —1.
