- kube-system 4y agoYeah, I know, but in context I think it was clear what was meant.
- biztos 4y agoFWIW I too thought it meant the opposite of underemployed. I didn’t realize the “fraudulent holding of two jobs simultaneously” had acquired this name. Apparently there are other definitions as well, used in economics. One being when workers want to work less (even for less money) but can’t… which is sort of the opposite of the two-jobs thing I guess: https://www.encyclopedia.com/social-sciences/applied-and-social-sciences-magazines/overemployment https://www.encyclopedia.com/social-sciences/applied-and-soc...
- actually_a_dog 4y agoWhat's fraudulent about it, assuming it's not violating any employment agreements?
- biztos 4y agoIn that case it wouldn’t be, but from what I’ve seen online most of the forums, tips etc about this are for people with two full-time jobs they “work” simultaneously and not for people who legitimately go to their second job after finishing their first job. Good luck finding an employer who agrees to that.
