Wait, Someone Was Working Six Full-Time Remote Jobs?!
Yep — it actually happens more than you’d think. Some remote workers juggle multiple full-time jobs, quietly clocking into Zoom calls while juggling six Slack accounts. But when they get caught? It’s game over — trust gone, reputation tanked, and usually every job lost at once.
So here’s the story — one manager noticed an employee was oddly slow in meetings, never turned their camera on, and always “had another call” to run to. Turns out, the guy had six remote full-time jobs across different companies, collecting six salaries.
He used copy-paste tricks, chatbots, and scheduled emails to fake being active. It worked for a while… until two of his “teams” scheduled meetings at the same time and both demanded face time. 💀
What This Means for Remote Work:
- It’s proof remote jobs give huge freedom — but also big temptation.
- Employers are learning to track productivity, not just attendance.
- Workers are learning that doing less better often beats trying to do it all.
What You Can Learn:
If one person could land six jobs, you can definitely land one. Use that same creative hustle — just in a smarter way. Build a strong online profile, learn to manage your time like a pro, and focus on roles that pay fairly for one solid effort, not six. </details>
Don’t chase chaos — chase consistency. Remote work gives you freedom, not a free-for-all. Be good at one job, and that one job can open ten doors down the line. 🚀
