    This article makes me want to vomit. Like blaming people who are forced to work multiple jobs to survive and treating them like criminals.

    Fuck you. These aren’t billionaires hoarding wealth, they are people who can’t afford school, a place to live, or their next meal. If one job can’t support them, then they’ll take five!

    Even if the work is getting done, Maleh says employers care because:

    It creates trust issues: If you’re hiding this, what else are you hiding?

    Even if the work is getting done, eh? These are the same employers who underpay and want to spy on their workers as if they were prison inmates, right?

    Fuck you twice!

      WTF do they have a leg to stand on to complain about or question ‘trust’ between employee and employer? They’re paid for the work, the product. If it’s getting done, then good. What goes on after hours or outside of work? None of their goddamn business.

        For once, the quiet part is quiet; in order to suppress worker’s rights, employers need us at a disadvantage. Any breathing room, comfort, success, or independence we can win threatens them because they like us weak.

      This is Fortune magazine so it’s probably an affront of fiefdom that one person-one job traditionally abuts. Now managers have to compete with each other through the worker and the worker has the power to take sides and screw upwards. Someone isn’t getting help unless they all work together. It’s upsetting the work/life balance that used to be one-way.

      Those are not the people they’re talking about. The article is about people with good paying jobs taking more than one. They’re gaming the system and I’m all for it.

        I think it’s selfish. How many of those jobs could have gone to someone who actually needs one? It’s essentially job hoarding. If you’re that much of a productive genius, why don’t you (the people with multiple well-paying jobs, not you personally) volunteer or start your own business and do something to actually improve the world instead of just hoarding wealth.
