Can you explain this? Do you mean working three jobs at once?
- throwawaysleep 4y agoYes. Find three remote jobs. It is what I do.
- endtime 4y agoYou contribute to anti-remote work sentiment by doing this.
- throwawaysleep 4y agoIn a tragedy of the commons, one should race to exploit the commons.
- danbolt 4y agoWhat makes you feel that way?
- colinmhayes 4y agoprobably game theory

- bbor 4y agoThat’s so sad… do you see a bright future for the human race?
- throwawaysleep 4y agoFor some. Mostly those who beat others.
- John23832 4y agoThat's not their fault. If they're doing the job well enough at all 3, they've satisfied the requirements for employment. Who cares what others think about their "remote sentiment"?
- nrmitchi 4y ago> It is far better to be a massive underperformer In what world do you read this and think "doing the job well enough at all 3"?
- throwawaysleep 4y agoThey are the same. You want to be a 30th percentile employee. Bad enough to do little work and never be trusted with anything important or with hard deadlines, but just good enough not to fire. He is saying that if I am not getting fired, I am good enough to continue working there.
- nrmitchi 4y agoI am familiar enough with the concepts of OE. There is a difference between being good and efficient enough to handle number roles, and the borderline scam of "get a remote job and try to stay under the radar and drag it out before they fire you". I'm honestly not 100% sure which of those you are advocating for.
- true_religion 4y agoI'm just confused. Why can't people have second tech jobs? Cashiers can have second jobs working in a different store. Factory workers can work in other factories (it's hard on your body but overall okay). No one would similarly complain if an Google software engineer was also 'forced' to make ends meet by working in an Apple retail store. Yes, it's hard on your body and mind to work more than 1 job, but if you need the money then what choice do you have?
- John23832 4y agoBecause they haven't been let go? They're paid for the time they're there, not the time they are not.
- UncleOxidant 4y agoSo you can burn out in 1/3 of the time.
