It’s a new type of worker, juggling jobs.
In the United States, employees have taken advantage of the development of teleworking to take two jobs … in secret. They work for two companies, they have two bosses, and therefore two salaries.
This process would flourish in the banking, tech and insurance sectors. So these are not low-skilled jobs. Quite the contrary. Believing that they have plenty of time for two jobs with the advantages of teleworking, they do not hesitate in front of the prospect of making – temporarily – twice as much money.
Some are making several hundred thousand dollars extra each month.
Combine schedules and … don’t get caught
With this ploy, spotted by the Wall Street Journal, some were able to repay the loan for their studies, or buy a sports car.
But, apart from the fact that the process is questionable (and dangerous depending on the employment contracts), it requires a lot of effort. Because it is not only a question of working twice as hard, but also of succeeding in combining one’s schedules, and above all not getting caught. Thus, a website (overemployed.com) has specialized in this duplication, by giving advice to those who do so, in particular on the necessary discretion to adopt.
