Overemployed workers warn against having basically any online presence at all — it seems like it’s the main way that a lot of them get caught. Like, imagine you go on a work retreat, and that job posts pictures on LinkedIn. Before you can ask them to take down those photos, you’re done for! Even adding coworkers as friends or connections could be a hazard. You basically have to avoid any online appearances at all, ever.
I have to wonder if all of this stress is worth the money… I mean, a lot of workers who go bragging about their workplace experiences seem to think that making 6 figures is worth it. If you’re in a high-up position, you’re not doing very much each day to begin with, so you may as well give it a try.
But, as this person’s story shows, you can easy get yourself in permanent hot water from doing this. Word will spread among the hiring managers, recruiters, all your bosses and coworkers, and others in your line of work. Especially if what you do is a small industry where everyone knows each other, then you’re just kissing your career goodbye the moment you accept job #2.
I also just constantly wonder about what these fellas do during tax season.Not sure how that all works… Still, I hope this person gets back on their feet and gets back to doing what they love: working 120 hours per week in a 40-hour time span.
