If you do it smart they won’t be able to prove any wrongdoing. E.g. your second job should be contract work through your own offshore LLC, so you won’t show up in The Work Number and similar databases.

A different evasion tactic could be getting paid in crypto.

I don’t care what the contract says. If all of my employers are satisfied with my work, I don’t feel any remorse.

Employment contracts are part of the game. Overemployment is part of the metagame :-)

I joined Meta in 2021 remotely, but when my stock grants lost 50% their value overnight, I secretly started working for my previous company. Sorry Mark, it’s only fair this way!

I was pleasantly surprised that the pace of work at Meta was so slow that I was able to do one week’s worth of work in a day, and the rest of the time was spent waiting for various crap processes (for insiders: LAMAs, privacy reviews, design reviews, experiment plans, diff reviews from colleagues in other timezones etc.). In the end I still had so much free time on my hand that I actually took up a third gig as well, and still didn’t feel any burnout.

For me, overemployment is 100% the future. I don’t think it’s unethical if you’re a high performer in both (or all three) of your jobs, which I am (I received “exceeds expectations” in most categories on my Meta PSC).
