  > working a second job This is the part I don't understand. If your job's expectations are so lax, why not potentially double your income?

  Well, these situations usually involve you having to be physically present and won't allow you to be out of office randomly for hours at a time. So that limits the kind of second job you could take. Also, many people work on fairly locked down computers with nothing much to do aside for (filtered) internet and random "corporate" apps. I'd be quite surprised to learn that in these kinds of situations, where people are required to be physically present to do nothing, they would be allowed to bring in their own computers and openly do private stuff.

  You have to account for what you're doing with your time and how it benefits the company and demonstrate that you're making progress. Unless you're better at managing a complex set of lies than most human beings, you're probably not going to succeed at it.

  >I’d be happy to work on personal projects, learning new things, working a second job, etc You aren't allowed to do these things on your first job. What you are suggesting is almost equivalent to squatting in an apartment for free and then renting it out to someone else to earn money.
