Guy Gets Caught Working 2 Remote Jobs (Here's What Happened)

[@freedomring3022]

If he’s able to do both jobs adequately, I don’t see a problem here.

[@jimroscovius]

@@mrwilliams1 I agree. I was once offered a fulltime remote job, but I couldn't have any side jobs. I wasn't going to give up the three part-time jobs I had, so I turned it down.

The only problem is his initial paranoia, I have never heard a Lawyer, Plumber, Electrician, Realtor and Attorneys being tied to one client. When I go to buy house should I require my realtor to only work with me?

[@mph5896]

He needs to renegotiate his terms if he wants something different. BUT with his arrangement with 2 jobs as mentioned in the video, its steady work.

[@sinclairal]

I think this is way different though. When your doing those contract jobs your arrangement is as a contractor. When your full time employee your arrangement is that you will give that employer 8 hrs a day. Doing 2 gigs during these hours is dishonest.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

Not tied to one client but still tied to one employee such as the law firm or company your trade is in. There’s a difference in being a W-2 v a 1099. As an attorney you can’t have a conflict and represent so and so client but you also couldn’t be an employee of both firms which would be a conflict. Vastly different stuff. The realtor can have tons of clients but they can’t work for multiple agencies at once I don’t imagine (ReMax v Coldwell Banker). But if it was remote contract work for design I wouldn’t have much issue. But the paranoia to not disclose kinda feels like he thought it wasn’t right but to each their own really.

Working 2 full time jobs at separate times, people like because you’re considered suffering and struggling daily. Find an easier way to do things (work 2 home jobs at the same time) people consider it unethical and shady. Once people find out, the haters come out with the crab mentality and start telling. Some companies get over on people all the time.

[@nicomyth]

Both employers may benefit from this arrangement because his wages don't need to be raised to keep him on staff. As long as the companies are not competing with each other, it is a long term win for both companies. They decrease labor cost by sharing this skilled employee. It is actually a loss in the long run for the employee because he must exchange more of his finite resource (time) for less money per hour than he could get working one job.

[@Wythaneye]

It all depends on the companies you're working for. I used to work in a highly regulated (banking) company that required us to disclose all outside income/business activities due to conflicts of interest. They had to know who we were working with outside the company to protect themselves. Many companies have non-compete agreements in place, so you have to be careful that you're not working for a competitor at the same time, in which case you'd be in breach of contract and possibly lose both jobs. Some companies though, particularly tech companies, allow and almost expect employees to have other avenues of income. As long as it's not a breach of your employment contract, and getting your work done, there's really no reason not to.

[@makdaddy8399]

[@captainhook190]

companies typically don't really care about you. I think this dude is smart and most people work in a " right to work state" this isn't cheating this isn't illegal. just make sure it doesn't affect your nda if you have one and if you don't well then who cares.. dude is smart.

[@FunNHonesty]

It is too expensive to just have one full time job, especially with no overtime. Rent, gas, food, electricity, and water are all up. You have to survive. Your boss will fire you the second you look a him/her wrong. Protect yourself with multiple forms of income because your boss doesn’t care if you die in a ditch.

[@tatianabritton6258]

Exactly. If you can’t guarantee I will have my job tomorrow, I can’t guarantee loyalty to the company. Everyone is replaceable so until then, I come first and will do any and everything to make sure my finances are in order.

[@tea_fran]

What's interesting about this video is how Ken doesn't call out CEOs that are working other jobs and positions, such as board of director seats and key stake holders in other companies.

[@MR3DDev]

I work 2 jobs but I work my second job once I clock out of my first job.

[@9liveslisa]

Moving meetings to fit his 'other' schedule??? Amazing!!! I witnessed a situation at a large corporate job I had where a guy was hired who lived in Colorado and he took the job that was in California. He had a cubicle in Office A. I worked in Office B (200 miles away from Office A). So I would talk to this guy thinking he was in his cubicle in Office A. Occasionally, I would have to travel to Office A and I would always stop by this guy's cubicle to say hello in person. He was never there. About 6 months later, I heard that the guy was fired because he never moved from Colorado to California. He was working remotely from Colorado and had no intention of moving to California. It was the strangest thing I had ever seen personnel-wise. I was surprised he was able to hide it for so long. If I had been in charge, I would have fired him too. Honesty and integrity are important and I wouldn't want an employee that was living a lie. You just can't trust them. But the guy in the video didn't lie so much as he was checking out his options and it accidently worked out for him. Everyone knew about his situation and were willing to work it out. More power to him.

[@michaelcouch75]

Was his productivity suffering in either position? Was he meeting performance expectations? Working from home is a new frontier, why can’t we work for two businesses if they aren’t competitors and we are getting it done?

[@JakeFerrin]

You can get away with a lot if you do great work and you're always a pleasure to deal with :)

[@JakeFerrin]

Thanks for the shoutout. Not sure how I missed this when it was posted but I love your take, Ken Coleman. Plus you've got one of those good "first name, last name combos." Ken Coleman. It just sounds good. Alright, have a good one :)

[@bkucenski]

I consider a full time job to be 8 hours, so to work two full time jobs means 80 hours a week. If you say 6 hours a day, that's still 12x5 which is 60 hours a week. So you're working evenings and weekends to get your 60-80 hours per week in to satisfy the your obligations to two companies. If you're young, have few life obligations (no wife or kids) and can pull that off consistently, that's great. Personally, I prefer one full time job and a few good clients that I'm not required to book that many hours a week for. One of the challenges in the fast food industry is scheduling. Managers will deliberately give people unpredictable schedules so they can't take on additional work for other companies. We shouldn't just be kind to people who are highly skilled. because they have leverage. The Bible is very clear about how employers are to treat employees and it looks nothing like modern capitalism. If you can't pay your workers properly, you owe them a schedule they can fit other employers into.

[@jimroscovius]

But you don't have to work 8 hours for many remote jobs. I had a fulltime remote job that didn't require 8 hours of my time every day.

[@chrispomaski]

Is there any chance a lifelong bartender can land one of these remote jobs or is this solely for the tech crowd?

[@bkucenski]

@@chrispomaski the less traffic, the better for those who must go into work. No commute means more money for things like drinking

This happened to me- 12 years ago!! I was a struggling single mom- did both jobs excellent and messed up on a call being overheard selling - thought I was on speaker and I got caught. They fired me immediately and I kept the other job because they didn’t care - it was mostly commission…don’t regret it and id do it again…I don’t think it’s anyones business if you have two/ three jobs and are doing it just fine! Makes zero sense - many fireman have businesses- many people work retail part time jobs and evening jobs…it’s wrong to limit what a person can do- especially a woman where we don’t get paid as much as the men- or didn’t years ago

Since when is working 2 jobs a problem, I've worked 2 jobs in the past multiple times in my life maybe it's different for remote work but I dunno I don't see a problem with 2 jobs as long as you can hold down 2 jobs effectively.

[@chickenmuffin]

People in the comments don’t seem to understand that some jobs are not time based so much as they are value based. No, you can’t work at two call centre jobs at the same time because you can’t be on two calls at once, but if You’re smart, efficient, likeable, working in a more intellectual field such as web design, graphic design, coding etc, and willing to work long hours there’s no reason this wouldn’t work out great actually even for the employers, so long as it’s non competing.

Terrible idea. This is interesting only because it’s so unlikely to happen. Mostly it’s considered stealing to sell the same (a specific hour of work) thing to two people.

[@tea_fran]

@@tms3802 It's not "stealing". in actuality, you're selling your skills and production. not specific hours. If I'm expected to work for 8 hours a day and get all of my work and responsibilities done in 2 hours consistently every day, what am I going to do for the remaining 6 hours? Someone else's work for no additional benefit? Hell nah. I'll hop over somewhere else to get paid to do extra work.

[@iamtylerman]

if I finish all of my work in less than 20 hours, how about you DOUBLE my workload and DOUBLE my salary?!?! no? I guess that's not fair to others? i guess that's stealing too? Obviously, if you are going to work 2 jobs at once you need to be able to stay on top of things... which some people absolutely can.

All this says is you can lie to employers they don't check references and they don't go over resumes. You can tell them what they want to hear. As long as the job gets done. I'm taking that 3rd full time job and telling my normal 4am-5pm to kick rocks.

[@iand654456]

It's tax evasion. There are different rules for different types of jobs.

[@SpoonHurler]

The deceptive behavior is the only thing wrong here. I think this would have been the outcome for him if he came to his boss when he got hired and told him that this was what he wanted to do. If you are exceptional and exceptionally hard to replace most of the time you will be offered a better deal to stay exclusive or allowed to work at the other job. The big issue is if non-disclosure are involved, you don't inform everyone and something happens, you could really screw yourself and your reputation. If it's not illegal, (working 2 jobs, even at the same time is not illegal) then you shouldn't feel like you need to hide it.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

Why should you feel like you need to hide it if it's not illegal?

[@SpoonHurler]

@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 I don't know, but that's what are a lot of hard working people pulling 2 jobs are doing because of the perceived notion of "stealing time". If you are paid to complete projects, even on salary then it shouldn't matter if there are no other issues (like trade secrets and stuff). It's exactly like taking on a lot of freelance work, which is something else you tell your employer about.

[@tms3802]

I have a friend that noticed an employees screen open in the office when he popped out to make a call and they had left an invoice open for freelance work. Itemising the same hours he was in their office as billable hours for a client. A bunch of us business owners were out and he was telling this story asking for advice, because seeing the screen would be considered spying and against their company culture. In an unbelievable scenario of chance, another business owner said we hired “John” who used to work for you. He’s working remote and honestly I’ve no idea what he does, because he always has an excuse why he doesn’t make targets. Turns out it was the same guy and he was triple jobbing and getting nothing done for anyone. But everyone was desperate for staff so firing specialists seemed like a bad idea. In a small specialist area, the guys reputation is destroyed now and no one will hire him. In the three months he had been getting 2.5 pay checks he had bought expensive cars on finance. Apparently free lancing does pay so well when you don’t have a company paying for expensive software and computers. The worst part was they found out he actually delegated some research work to another colleague, that was for the other company the guy wasn’t working at and he didn’t know. He got fired but no legal repercussions. Both companies tightened their policies of “trust” so all other employees were slightly worse off. In my opinion if you need to hide income from your boss made during work hours it’s stealing. I believe his reputation will follow him until he leaves the area. So over a few years he’d have been better off financially having being honest.
