re: Accepting two jobs, unethical or wrong?

(no message)

its a statistical comparison of salaries from the department of labor, thats how.

Im glad you have been making that since the late 80's(if you are telling the truth, then fricking retire already) but the facts are that income for individual earners puts you in the 89th percentile of individual earners( and in the late 80s and 90s put you in the top 1%).

That income for a household is top 9%.

No. You are right. Just look at the threads asking what posters need to retire. Most claim 5-10 million. That alone shows they have no concept of finance.

A smart couple can retire on much less provided they setup prior to retirement. Pay off house, loans etc. it's the ones who still want to live paycheck to paycheck in retirement that need that volume.

Yeah, I know. Tis the reason they are clueless on actual incomes.

Not saying many on here aren't in the top 5% but its not easy to make 165k no matter what anybody says.

and before anybody says I am jeleous, not quite. But its stupid to assume that its easy to make 165k and anybody with a degree can do it.

If you're a hard worker in sales, 165k is not a ridiculous number at all, depending on what you're selling.

But to the issue at hand, I think it's already been said, but the biggest issue here is double-dipping on the benefits.

It is very unethical to use Company A's car/phone/etc. to sell Company B's product, without their knowledge. On the flip side, it is also very unethical to pocket allowances from your employer which are meant to pay for something that you are being provided with by another company (again, without their knowledge). You can spin it however you want, but it's essentially theft.

Idiotic. It's not if he gets caught, it's when. He should talk to the one he likes better, explain the situation, and see what they say.

When he gets canned, it will terrible to potential new employers because he lied and was deceitful.

I would tell him to do it for as long as he can get away with it.
