Is it illegal for a w2 salaried employee to work two jobs? I’m considering applying for a remote job and seeing if I can pull it off. I’m currently required to be at the office for my existing role but will ask to go remote. If they deny, I will just leave(the new gig pays more plus commission). My reason is that I see the owner do it, he’s on pay roll, runs multiple businesses, my job could easily be done remotely, so why should I be limited on what I can make but not the “wigs”?

Less about legality and more about what your employment agreement says about outside employment.

D2 - correct! Thanks for adding on there haha.

Most employment agreements don't let you have a 2nd job during the same working hours. Many require pre-approval for "side employment".

If you get caught you will get fired and potentially get sued for fraud (e.g for working another job on company time). Owner can do it because they don't have an employment agreement.

Just take the other one. If it pays more and is remote, sounds like time to move on.

Why would you tell your current employer anyway? If it's not a competitor...work 4 jobs at once. As long as you manage your time well keep quite..hate to break the truth to you... lots of ppl do it...

Work doesn't have to cater towards someone else's structure constantly. Find what works for you.

Being good at your job includes knowing how to maximize your efficiency, from knowing what times you are most productive, creative, responsive, and energetic.

Examples: Working remote vs. in office, scheduling important meetings in the morning vs. afternoon, creating more break times to walk around

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?

I wouldn't have nearly as many issues with conservative principles if they weren't so hypocritical in how they enact them.

I'm not opposed to lowering taxes, smaller government, and respecting individual rights, but they simultaneously support bailing out big businesses, expanding church and state, and massive deficit spending to pay for dumb wars and tax loopholes for hedge fund managers.

I'd rather see our government provide food, healthcare, and shelter than any of the above things.
