Have you ever been in a work meeting and wondered why a colleague always keeps their camera off? Or why they’re always seemingly offline on Slack? It might be because they are trying to get away with an elaborate plot to work at two companies at once—or maybe close to half a dozen—and bring in a salary exceeding $500,000.
您是否曾经参加过工作会议，想知道为什么同事总是让他们的相机远离？还是为什么他们总是在懈怠上脱机？这可能是因为他们试图摆脱一个精心策划的情节，以一次在两家公司（或可能接近六个公司）工作，并带来超过500,000美元的薪水。
Across the world, hundreds of thousands of workers have begun to embrace “overemployment.” According to the r/overemployment subreddit, with more than 430,000 members, they all have one simple mission: “Work multiple jobs, reach financial freedom.”
在世界范围内，成千上万的工人开始接受“过度就业”。根据R/过度就业的SubReddit，他们拥有超过430,000名成员，他们都有一个简单的任务：“工作多个工作，达到财务自由。”
The overemployed community was thrust into the public eye thanks to a viral X post by Suhail Doshi, the founder of tech startups like Playground and Mixpanel. The entrepreneur highlighted an employee he fired after discovering they may have been working multiple jobs simultaneously.
多亏了Playground和Mixpanel等科技创业公司的创始人Suhail Doshi的病毒X帖子，该社区被推向了公众的关注。这位企业家强调了他在发现他们可能同时从事多个工作后解雇的一名员工。
“I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying/scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later,” Doshi said in the post. “No more excuses.”
“我在他的第一周就解雇了这个家伙，并告诉他停止撒谎/骗人。一年后他还没有停下来，” Doshi在邮报中说。“没有更多的借口。”
The practice of overemployment (or polyworking) is nothing new, having exploded during the pandemic thanks to remote work. But it’s only gotten easier thanks in part to AI’s enhancement of workplace productivity. In fact, one Reddit user claims to have just landed a fifth concurrent job, bringing their income to over $3,000 a day.
过度就业（或多功能工作）的实践并不是什么新鲜事物，这在大流行期间爆炸了，这要归功于远程工作。但这仅仅是由于AI提高了工作场所生产力的部分原因，这只是变得更加容易。实际上，一位Reddit用户声称刚刚找到了第五次并发工作，每天的收入超过3,000美元。
“I tell them up front that I’m a ‘consultant,’” the user wrote. “I won’t be at the all-hands meeting. I skip daily stand-up calls. They know how to reach me if I’m needed, but I keep distance from the organization. I’ll get a few tough things assigned in a sprint and solve them at some point over two weeks. They leave me alone.”
用户写道：“我告诉他们我是'顾问'。”“我不会参加全手会议。我跳过每天的站立电话。如果需要的话，他们知道如何与我联系，但是我与组织保持距离。我会在冲刺中得到一些艰难的事情，并在两周的某个时候解决它们。他们让我一个人呆着。”
“I’m determined and vigilant,” they added. “Never letting a plate drop. Always checking emails and Teams throughout the day. Up early, working multiple time zones across the US.”
他们补充说：“我坚定而警惕。”“永远不要让盘子掉落。总是整天检查电子邮件和团队。早起，在美国各地工作多个时区。”
While Fortune could not verify the authenticity of Doshi’s claim or the Reddit user’s employment status, it signals a broader ability for workers’ desire and ability to balance multiple “full-time” jobs and rake in high salaries.
尽管《财富》无法验证Doshi索赔或Reddit用户的就业状况的真实性，但它标志着工人渴望和平衡多个“全职”工作并在高薪水中抢劫的能力更广泛的能力。
How workers are landing multiple six-figure jobs at once
工人如何一次登陆多个六位数的工作
With some workers struggling to land even an interview in today’s rocky job market, it may come as a surprise that others are securing multiple highly sought-after roles simultaneously. The Reddit post reveals that many are breaking ethical boundaries to do so.
由于一些工人甚至在当今的岩石就业市场中努力进行采访，这可能会让其他人同时确保多个备受追捧的角色。Reddit帖子表明，许多人都在打破道德界限。
“Interviews should be gamified,” one user wrote. “Lie, cheat, and steal. Use AI. Tech interviews are 80% an opportunity for some blowhard at the company to impress their skill on you. With AI, the walls of tech are coming down.”
一位用户写道：“访谈应该被游戏化。”“撒谎，作弊和偷窃。使用AI。技术采访是80％的吹牛的机会，可以在公司身上打动他们的技能。随着AI，技术墙逐渐下降。”
But you still have to be good at what you do, especially in your first job, according to the Reddit community’s pinned FAQ; that way, you can get away with exceeding expectations while only working a few hours a week. The ideal jobs for overemployment are ones that are not meeting-heavy, are senior enough to delegate work to other staffers, and are at large companies, so you’re less visible.
但是，根据Reddit社区固定的常见问题，您仍然必须擅长于自己的工作，尤其是在第一笔工作中。这样，您就可以超越期望，而每周只工作几个小时。过度就业的理想工作是没有人会议的人，足够高的工作，足以将工作委派给其他员工，并且是大公司，因此您不太明显。
Just over 5% of all employed workers have more than one job, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Considering the average multi-job holder still works 35 hours at their first job and about 13.5 hours at their second, it’s clear the more extreme overemployment trend is not for everyone.
根据圣路易斯联邦储备银行的数据，所有受雇工人中只有超过5％的工作有多项工作。考虑到普通的多职位持有人在第一份工作时仍工作35小时，而第二次工作约为13.5小时，很明显，更极端的过度就业趋势并不适合所有人。
“If you’re not skilled enough to pull this off you could end up screwing up your career. Don’t try this before you’re ready,” the FAQ states. “If you have to ask questions like ‘How do I find a second job?’ you’re not ready.”
常见问题解答说：“如果您不足以实现这一目标，您最终可能会搞砸自己的职业。不要在准备好之前尝试一下。”“如果您必须问'我如何找到第二份工作'之类的问题？'您还没有准备好。'
Remote work is enabling an era of job juggling
远程工作正在使工作时代
Remote work is prime territory for overemployment, but dealing with RTO or an occasional in-person meeting is possible to handle too. The page suggests finding disused office spots or the parking lot to take calls for all your other gigs.
远程工作是过度就业的主要领域，但是与RTO打交道或偶尔的面对面会议也可以处理。该页面建议找到废弃的办公点或停车场来接听所有其他演出的电话。
“People take personal calls all the time,” it advises. “If you don’t act nervous then you won’t look suspicious.”
它建议：“人们一直接听个人电话。”“如果您不紧张，那您就不会显得可疑。”
And while some might call this time theft, overworkers insist they are not part of the problem; in fact, many just use the opportunity to feel like they can earn a fair wage.
尽管有些人可能这次被盗窃，但过度劳动者坚持认为这不是问题的一部分。实际上，许多人只是利用这个机会感觉自己可以赚取公平的工资。
“Every CEO and HR department already knows about OE (overemployment) and has for well over a decade,” the overemployed Reddit community FAQ says.
“每个首席执行官和人力资源部门都已经知道OE（过度就业），并且已经有十多年的历史了。”
“This isn’t a new thing. It’s all the quiet quitters out there who slack off and deliver nothing of value while working remote[ly] that are causing problems. Not the folks who are delivering as expected at multiple jobs.”
“这不是一件新事物。所有的安静的戒烟都会在远程（远程）造成问题的同时放松而没有任何有价值的东西。不是那些在多个工作中达到预期的人。”
