plus another salary.
What do I need that for?
I'm using chatgpt to help design a kid's jungle gym right now.
And I've made at least $232 while posting in this thread.

If I'm on salary with a defined set of responsibilities and I fulfill said responsibilities to the satisfaction of my employer in 20 hours each week and then do work around the house for the other 20 hours while still being reachable and available to do additional work as requested during those 20 hours, then what am I not providing?

Poster dgnx6 seems to believe we'd all be working additional jobs if we actually believed it was legal and/or ethical.

Why not? You aren't actually working more hours. You are just lying about working.
This makes you the dumbass. Why work 40 hours at one job when you can just say you worked 40 hours at 3 jobs?
These overemployed people aren't working more. Thats the point.

Why are we moving the goalposts?
Being “available” means actively monitoring and responding to work needs during paid hours, not just being at home with a laptop nearby.
Employers pay for active readiness, not passive presence. If you work 2 hours, then spend the rest of the day on something else while letting them believe you’re engaged, you’re misrepresenting your availability. That’s time theft.

For me, if it was legal, and the pay was worth it, I'd at least consider it.

Because why wouldn't you?
That one poster says he only actually works 30 minutes a week.
Why not go pick up another salary and work 1 hour a week?

You guys are moving the goalposts and talking about active versus passive availability. It's an easy way to derail this discussion. Are you guys wanting to focus on WFH now?

Just shows that your average WFH person probably wastes 75% of day on non work stuff

I work a real 40ish hours per week. I don't want or need another job. Weird you can't grasp that.

Good for them? I don't care either way. You're just an obtuse retard that can't debate without reverting to the rationale of a 9 year old.

Okay so why not get more jobs?
Get 3 jobs and do all of your wfh in 20 hours.

Maybe they make enough to support their lifestyle on one job without the extra hassle of juggling 3? That ever cross your mind?

I work a real job!
The point of overemployed is you aren't working 40 hours at any of these jobs. You just say you do.
You are the one that can't grasp this. If you go into an office every day and work 40 hours a week. It is impossible for you to go get another office job. You can't be at two places at once.

One more thing, if your employment agreement is truly output-based with no expectation of full-time presence, then there’s no issue. I don't know many jobs that are a deliverables only type position. You're expected to be fully engaged, not passively, for your expected work hours.

Check out r/antiwork if you want some real laughs
People will go on r/antiwork, make up a story about their boss being the devil, and get like 20k upvotes, putting them over the threshold

But you guys are sitting here saying you only work 30 minutes to 20 hours a week for a 40-hour job.
