Ask HN: Have yo heard of anyone practicing “/r/Overemployed”?
A couple of weeks ago a friend sent me a link to &#x2F;r&#x2F;Overemployed, basically it&#x27;s a bunch of people (mostly CS&#x2F;tech types) working 2,3,4 full time jobs doing <i>just enough</i> work to not get fired. Per the sub founder:<p>&quot;Overemployed is a community of professionals looking to work two remote jobs, earn extra income, and achieve financial freedom. Be free from office politics and layoffs. Instead, negotiate a severance and invest in your life.&quot;<p>I&#x27;ve read every thread in the sub the past two weeks and... just wow. Per the admission of some they&#x2F;people they know have been doing this as far back as the 1990s. Are you aware of anyone doing this? I&#x27;m curious how widespread this is.<p>Personally, this feels extremely dishonest to me, last year I worked over 450 hours of overtime just trying to keep freight moving for my company and the idea that there are people out there drawing multiple full time incomes for doing 5, 10, 15 hours of work a week between their multiple jobs (that&#x27;s what people are claiming in the sub) just makes me sick.
