Ask HN: How do you deal with remote people working multiple full-time jobs?
Why do you care that someone has more than one job? If you can’t easily identify if someone has multiple jobs from decreased productivity then how does it matter? Do you have clear milestones and performance metrics? Do you pay your developers well enough that they don’t have to take on other jobs?<p>Think about what actual problem you have if some of your remote developers have two jobs. Can you measure the costs or risks? Or do perceive it as a betrayal or lack of control?<p>Ed Zitron wrote “If someone gets their work done to a high quality and on time and also happens to be working another job, you do not actually have a problem, and if anything, you’re lucky to have them.”<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ez.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;the-two-jobby-problem" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ez.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;the-two-jobby-problem</a>
