    I’m mean, there’s a part of me that would say “fuck yeah, I would get a second job and get two incomes”. The other part of me is really sleepy, so I’m honestly not sure who would win this internal debate.

      you’d be sleepy, perhaps for months or years, until you realize that a fulfilling life is not one spent in oblivion and you find a better way to use your time!

      Probably the sleepy bit for the first few months as you recover from a lifetime of wage slavery. Then the second job part comes along, once you’re in the right place and you figure out what you would love to do all day.

        Yeah, beside having an “official” job, I think people can still have personal projects that are great for society if they don’t have to work all week for money.

      You didn’t report that you don’t have a manager is a reason to fire you, but doing two jobs is both easy to find (if they’re looking) and fraud.

        That’s why it’s safer to get an other job asap. Just in case you lose the first one.

        Having two jobs is fraud? What…?

        Have you never heard of Overemployment? There are people out there working multiple easy WFM jobs and just raking in three incomes.

        You’re allowed to have two jobs lol

          It’s not fraud but it’s a breach of contract, unless you find a different company that’s ok with you having a full time job and working after hours, and you clear the air with your existing employer.

          If you’re found doing this, good luck explaining your next employer why they can’t ask around for references.
