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.

If you’re hiding this, what else are you hiding?

Hiding? So now everything we don't share is hiding?

I can't wait to go tell my boss about the massive shit I took this morning. I don't want to hide anything from my employer!

You didn’t take the shit on his desk? What are you hiding by not shitting infront of him?

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 week ago

First you accuse me of hiding things, then you reprimand me for telling you about my long list of kinks? Make up your mind!

[-] oyo@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 week ago

I can't even land a single job at the moment, how are these shits getting five?

CEOs have one job and earn $100k a day. It’s totally legal!

Elon musk is CEO of like 7 places. If they can do it, so can we.

I mean if I can satisfy your requirements by working two hours of your nonsense job, then why would I work 8.

And if that nonsense job doesn't pay enough to live then I'll work another one of those.

That's logic, not crime.

Have these whiners considered a living wage and affordable, good insurance? Self-insured businesses are absolutely possible, and megacorporations can afford it.

Why would my job see my taxes?

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

They can see your W4 withholding and any deductions like child support or garnishments. They cannot see anything beyond their payroll system.

SOURCE: Worked IT for a payroll firm.

I swear, lack of common sense and awareness really hit Gen Z hard. Here's why this is stupid and summing up the article. You're letting society know you are ok with filling your day with tasks for wages that cannot sustain a living. 2. If you sign an non-compete or NDA and thinking you're clever because nobody will find out, you will have 0 jobs when they do and probably out of that field for a solid 1 year minimum. Nobody will hire you which is also not illegal. How do you fix this? Stop accepting shit jobs for minimum wage or unionize to where it doesn't get over taken by a nefarious party persuading an entire generation multiple jobs instead of one solid paying job is ok. This is on the same level where Gen Z employees say it's ok to live out of a uhaul. God damn disappointment. No, Gen Z'rs don't get to blame on Millenials, Gen-X, and Boomers. Lead to a change. Dammit I am ranting again.

Gen Z here, you're speaking facts and I hate that gen z is in no way advocating for themselves. I dont understand it.

Good. Lot of these companies contribute nothing to society other than GDP and consumerism.

You can replace workers with AI but not customers.

This is just being a freelancer, with extra lying.
