Why so negative? Not working the hours expected, but getting the work done (and on time). Double dipping, but for some, much needed due to salaries & current cost of living. Finding opportunities to use one company's resources to the benefit of the other, but signing non-disclosures.

Only you have your reasons, but why is there so much negativity related to overemployment?

Also very true! I really don't understand why there are "rules" for some (c suite, as you put it) and not for others.

I think there's just a general attitude that people working remotely are somehow gaming the system. And people working remotely at more than one job really come in for extra suspicion and criticism. Some of it is just pure jealousy, and some of it is just the idea that the system is somehow being abused. Most of the time, of course, no one is being disadvantaged, except perhaps the person with no free time who is actually working the jobs!

I think it depends who you ask. I’m 45 and technically a gen x-er but I hate going into an office now. If things were like 2019 again maybe but those days of everyone in the office at the same time don’t exist at my company now.

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well. The recruiter just called to tell me that they want me to do one more round, though. This will make 8 interviews total, including a full case study presentation to 4 people. Should I be worried? Is this a red flag?

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.
