I am a remote employee and after realizing how cr-p this company is with people more than 4 years receiving the same salary even performing, and all layoffs via cold email, I decided to have 3 jobs at the same time.
I manage them pretty well and have no issues with ANY of them, including Oracle.
If Oracle lays me off, it will impact 30% of my income and not 100%.
Do I care? As much as they care about me.
Do not be stupid. Do not put all eggs in the same basket.

@1b2+1kqpab1wf the companies are cutting remote jobs due to low performance and mismanagement. Who provides results stays.
@14q because of the sc-m like this corps are cutting work from home
@ag I agree with you. Many of my friends and family work 2–3 remote, sometime non-contract, full-time jobs. All you need is office space with multiple screens and different headsets. If you miss a meeting, all you need to do is message the team and say you have to take your kids to school or to doctor’s appointments.
If you can do it. Do it
how can we sign up for this?
this is what I wanted to do, I got so close to doing this 😔
@b0
These are the people who have access to the PLTR tools. Guess who they are? They’re envious of your earnings and come here to talk nonsense. They believe O employees don’t deserve such high pay, RSUs,...
@f8 For the last bullet, they only check the ones you list. They don’t get a download of every place you worked. If it’s a regulated industry there might be more scrutiny.
@e9 here is why your claims smell like bs...
- contract jobs don't offer benefits so you don't need to deny coverage
- no one controls all meeting especially if you are a contractor
- companies know the amount of time expected to complete the work assigned and usually assign a 40 hour or more workload - there is no way that you have 3 jobs and none of the employers do this
- background checks show all employment current and historical
@e9 nice story
1- I hold just one insurance and deny the other ones
2- other two jobs are contract jobs
3- I manage all meetings so I control them
4- I am not paid for hours and does not matter if I work 10 or 40 hours week, what matter is the results
5- multiple jobs are no illegal
6- all 3 business are in different areas and there is no conflict of interest between them
7- I just keep the linkedin and my resume with the company of best interest in a way the background check does not check other ones.
Doing this last 7 years without issues.
And how do you explain away not attending multiple meetings when conflicts between the jobs occur? I'll take "Things that didn't happen" for $400, Ken.
it won't work with this new Codex era. Oracle management already got runtime view of all employees using ChatGPT tokens (that's how they will be laying off on next round, who doesn't use them heavily and regularly enough), so if you pause and switch - it's apparent.
Now, that's what is known as a truly "bone-headed" move. Getting paid by three businesses for working the same hours is the perfect way to canned by all of them and could even lead to you being sued. Why? 'Cause you're ripping each of them off, being paid for hours that you're not working for them. Theft is a crime, bozo.
OP, nice story. If you really are working 3 different jobs you are either of no real value at any of the 3 companies or you are working 20+ hours a day. How do you handle benefits? While it isn't illegal to have multiple insurance policies insurance companies are highly aware of all of the coverage that you may have. The fact that you are the primary person on 3 different polices could get back to any one or all of the 3 companies.
If you are a software developer and you are using code you developed at one company to meet you workload at another company you may be violating intellectual property laws which can land you in jail. Regardless of your job reusing work you do for one company to make money at another is likely illegal since it is the IP of the company who paid you to do it in the first place.
@OP have been thinking about this for a couple of months now , my only concern is that either O or the new company find and I end up loosing both jobs without severance …
I guess , if the 2 Jobs are remote the only possible way would be finding vía LinkedIn, I wont post any updates but what if the new company does so or expects me to do so ? I guess deactivating LinkedIn will be the only option
