The real question is why do people need 2 jobs? If its just ambition or wtv then ok, but if its out of the need to pay the bills and just get by, why is it happening? Or course its convenient for this mfers to say that. Better have people working multiple jobs to get by and keep their mouth shut then having them rebeling, joinin unions, protesting and so on.

He is specifically talking about people who are able to work from home who are generally employed full time. However he does point to workers who absolutely need to work two jobs to make ends meet as a reason why it should be viewed as okay. That is definitely problematic. Those people working two jobs just to live would definitely prefer to work just one.

I have a job where the unspoken agreement is they under pay you but you get to underwork proportionally to your favor. I'm more ambitious so I spend the free time on more work. I wouldn't be surprised if this is more of a benefit to software people than most workers

They underpay you knowing you won't work as hard for them? I don't understand business owners.

Lol it's the government. But to be honest, it's a pretty good deal. If you're not ambitious, you have an easy safe cushy life. If you are ambitious, you have time and security to try things your way

The type of worker that article is talking about don't. They are making $250,000 per job. People making too little to live off largely don't have jobs that you would lie about working 2 at the same time.
