I fired somebody cheating. He was working two jobs.

The guy had a great interview with me. He was sharp, and I was happy to hire him.

Two weeks later, I started noticing the red flags.

He joined our meetings but never turned his camera on. He would always ask to repeat the questions. He was cagey. I met with him twice and felt he should have been farther along.

Around that time, I stumbled upon the idea of overemployment. A whole movement dedicated to helping people work several full-time jobs at once.

Feel free to google "overemployed." It's wild!

I got suspicious. Since the guy had recently joined the team, I asked him for a reference from his previous job. I told him he shouldn't worry about it; it was a routine due diligence.

His answer sealed the deal for me. He got defensive and asked me to meet so he could clear up any issues with his performance. His reaction came from left field.

He promised to share with me some references by the end of the day. He didn't. I asked again, and he said the next morning. He also "forgot."

I confronted him one last time, and he came clean.

Turns out he never quit his previous job. He was still working full-time for them. And for me. By the looks of it, we were getting the short end of the stick.

I asked for his resignation. We had him on the payroll for about three weeks.

I felt cheated. I didn't care about the money, but I had to start looking for someone else. I had rejected many good candidates to hire this guy.

I went on Reddit, and there are thousands of people doing this. Some of them work three and four full-time jobs!

This was a painful experience, but I don't blame people working for more than one company at once.

Can somebody do more than one job well?

Many people discard it because you should work 8 hours, but creative jobs are different. The quality of your output is independent of the time you dedicate.

I would have fired the guy even if he didn't have another job. But would I have cared if he was good? Certainly not.

Assuming you are good at what you do, would it be unethical to work for two different companies?

📈🏡 I asked GPT4 which countries you should invest in real estate

It analyzed 250,000+ trips from Nomad List over the last 10 years with GPT 4's new Data Analysis feature to find the fastest growing places to invest

I just uploaded a CSV with timestamp, city, country!

"I joined a company which brands itself as a tech-first company. I was super excited.

As I was setting up my laptop, I noticed I have no admin rights. Turned out I needed to request permission to install anything. And my request for Visual Studio Code was rejected."

You can't replace reading with other sources of information like videos, because you need to read in order to write well, and you need to write in order to think well.

Quarantine work !== Remote work.

I’ve been working remotely with success for 13 years, and I’ve never been close to burn out.

I’ve been working quarantined for over a month and I’m feeling a tinge if burn out for the first time in my life. Take care of yourself folks. Really.
