Moonlighting is working a second job at night (“by the light of the moon”). Overemployment is fraudulently charging two companies for the same hour of time.

- ordinaryradical 2y agoSalaried positions don’t pay by the hour but by meeting benchmarks, job accountabilities, etc. so I’m not sure “fraudulently” belongs in that sentence.
- const_cast 2y agoI concur. The only reason it doesn't feel this way is because companies have been abusing the spirit and intent of salary for a long time. They effectively make it about time, and then don't pay overtime because they're exempt. Salary is basically just hourly but with a sweeter deal for the employer. So, from the employer's perspective, it feels like fraud. But they've effectively been defrauding you for the past 100 years, by making you work salary when your job isn't a salary job. So, it's even. Well... not really. Still absurdly skewed in the employer's favor of course, but a little more even.
- b800h 2y agoThat's the original meaning of the word, but it has come to be a synonym for overemployment.
