It’s amazing to me that this is even a conversation. As long as you can fulfill the requirements of the position, do whatever you want. My perspective comes from working hourly. I’m an electrician and have worked a second part time job after leaving the first one for the day, six days a week. This is exhausting and costly but worth it if you need the money. I’ve even done this while saying yes to side work (basically freelancing). I’ve heard of people having as many as five hourly positions, working up to 100 hours per week. The fact that introducing this concept into a salaried environment raises additional previously unthinkable objections or concerns is beyond me. This conversation needs to be put to bed: add value for your employer to justify your employment and your employer can say nothing about your life.

@L____IIII not the conversation, we’re talking about salaried positions with no time limit or time requirement. But even if you do work a job with time requirements, it’s still none of their business what you do before or after work.

If python script has bugs at scale then it’s likely because some arrogant developer thought it was easy and decided to use it without having a fundamental understanding of the language. Python has tools that prevent bugs that most js and other developers won’t be familiar with or that will cause bugs if they don’t have intimate understanding of how to use them. If you start learning programming principles with python you’re more likely to approach learning the language with enough respect to give it the time it takes to learn the ins and outs at the fundamental level

This could be scaled to an unimaginable amount if employed positions. Only limits are that most data entry jobs I have heard of are hourly instead of salary, and then if you have to have meetings you can’t hold as many positions

@dakedres are you seriously trying to suggest that taking two or three salaried positions won’t require you to spend more hours a week working??

@dakedres but to be fair to your argument, if your employer isn’t expecting enough from you and you’re bored, and actually able to do your work in two hours, then shame on them. It still doesn’t seem like exploitation to be able to do the work asked of you for the amount promised if the expectations are low because they don’t want to trust you with more responsibility. And good for you for being a hard enough worker to go and look for MORE work.

@dakedres I totally see where you’re coming from. I believe that there are people who are looking at it like that. It seems irrelevant to me though, because it’s impossible to maintain that level of output and keep a job. Think of freelancers. If you’re not being productive, you don’t get paid. So I think people who are trying to do this sincerely and altruistically, are putting in more time than they were originally to meet the demands of the positions they hold. If you’re not being productive you’re gonna get let go.

@Cneq I was right there with you until you went so far as to say “essentially fraud and lying to your employer.” It isn’t. It just isn’t. Unless you’re working for a company again a noncompete, nondisclosure, or breaking IP laws, there is absolutely mo logical argument to make that justifies the accusation of fraudulent behavior.

Level up, my dude. More power to you.

@robertlaraiii thabks for the comment, wondering if you know of a good resource to learn about remote access to another pc? I’d probably die of happiness if I could carry a macbook pro around with a windows or linux desktop at home I could get into remotely

@MrNsaysHi yeah seems like you haven’t thought this one out enough yet, mate.

@NahuelShura it’s more of a value-add scenario. It was explained to me like this, once. I asked a guy (extended family of my ex wife… not important) about his nice fancy garage with a ton of custom storage, fancy floor finish, the works. I said “did you do this??” And he basically said that he spends time doing what he’s good at, gets paid well, and then happily pays someone else well to do what they’re good at, and everyone is happier than if he kept the money to himself and busted his chops over something he’d probably do a poor job of. So in the case of our friend here, I’d pay him 5 hours’ worth of work to do it in 15 minutes any day of the week if I needed help fixing my vehicle that I use to get to my six figure salaried job, and I’d hope his ability to do so would provide him with his own six figure salary. Abundance mindset. See how that works?

@notyet2345 you do sound like you’re kinda upset about a guy in the past that you perceive as having taken advantage of you which also gives you the appearance of someone who is unhappy and difficult to please and get along with. But that’s just based on how you expressed yourself here in this comment thread. I will say though I understand your point of view and have had similar issues and doubts when working with a lot of people. But every time you pay for something you’re agreeing to the terms of a negotiation and if you’re unhappy with the results then you weren’t up to speed on the terms of the negotiation and that’s on you. Lots of times we make assumptions based on what we want to hear instead of asking questions to be better informed. For example I just went through seatac last weekend and needed a car. I make it to the counter and the guy pulls up my rental reservation. He says “also no need to worry about anything, so fault or no fault we come get the car and we pick you up and we take the keys and you walk away no questions asked.” I should have thought twice and asked more questions but he told me what I wanted to hear, which is excellent salesmanship. The only reason it wasn’t successful was that I reserved through costco travel and was expecting a certain price. I put my card in and the price was more than three times what I expected. So now instead of hearing what I wanted to hear I started having questions. I asked the guy what happened and he said “the rental is the same but the insurance is __ extra. We pick you up no questions asked remember?” Long story short I said no to the insurance and got the price I intended on paying but the moral of the story is if you don’t ask enough questions it’s your fault if you get burned on a deal you agreed to. Even if someone else is seemingly dishonest.

@rosco3 heard. Understood. Felt that. Honestly good points, and to steelman, can’t forget noncompetes and nda’s while you’re at it. Now for my next trick, I’ll have you explain freelancers. hands over mic

@stevenbailey637 I guess we’ll have to leave it up to one of the HR gurus to clarify. Heard on one of these videos that a guy working multiple salaried positions went on a date with a girl who worked in HR and on learning his situation she basically ended the date on the grounds that he should be in prison lol so apparently they know something we don’t? Kinda doubt it though.

@namelikeanyother885 “worked less” could also be a sign of expertness and skill, since he’s experienced enough to make it seem easy and effortless and as though it takes him hardly any time at all to perform what tasks he does perform as compared to more junior level IT guys. Also you mention seniority, which implies management, which is a completely separate job and requires its own unique and frankly pretty rare skillset. And certainly mosr people would say they don’t enjoy leadership. So Eduardo’s point is still a good one.
