• 随着远程办公越发常见，有些员工秘密兼任多份全职工作，实现收入翻倍甚至三倍，还不用加班。《财富》采访的“超负荷就业者”当中，有人同时从事五份工作，年收入超过72.5万美元，且每周工作时间并未超过标准的40小时。
如果你越来越奇怪有些同事在Teams上的状态总是“离开”，或者会议上从不开摄像头，他们可能正在做两份工作，而且都在正常工作时间里。
上个月，某软件工程师被曝同时在多家硅谷初创公司任职，一时间社交媒体上议论纷纷，多家企业开始清查内部有没有此类欺骗行为。
然而，同时从事不止一份工作（有时甚至多达五份）的情况，可能超过一些企业想象。毕竟，远程办公持续盛行，雇主越发难以掌握员工的真实工作状态。
“在美国公司工作过就知道，很多事都是表面功夫，”一位匿名受访者告诉《财富》。他目前从事三份工作，年收入约72.5万美元。
他们最多同时做五份工作，主要因为人工智能工具带来的效率提升，现在发邮件、整理会议记录、起草交付成果都比以前轻松得多，而且都能在相对正常的工作时间内完成。
“现在感觉更像一场游戏，我想知道自己最多能同时做几份工作还能保持理智？”他们回忆说。
事实证明，工作“饱和”确实回报丰厚。如果同时做五份工作，他们估计年收入能超过100万美元。
“我对公司毫无忠诚可言，”他们补充道。
没觉得抢别人的工作
《财富》还采访了另一位员工，目前在医疗科技行业身兼两份工作。尽管年收入接近25万美元，他们仍能确保在40小时内完成。至于在如今动荡的就业市场中会不会抢走其他求职者的机会，他们并不担心。
“企业要的是我的知识和专业技能，不是看我工作了多少小时，”他告诉《财富》。
同时从事多份工作下次更新简历时可能会引起别人注意，但他们表示，特定时间内只会写上“最好的那份全职工作”，这样就不用多作解释作。不过，医疗科技行业人才紧缺，所以这么做没什么大问题。
“我不用找工作，是工作来找我，”他们说，“说实话，我都想不起上次主动投简历是什么时候。2017年开始，我已经换了四份工作。”
他们表示，正是因为太多公司频繁挖角，才助长了“过度就业”的行为。
虽然同时做多份工作在法律上并不违法，但猎头公司Bentley Lewis首席执行官刘易斯・马莱赫等业内人士对此并不鼓励。
“如果做着全职工作并获得了相应的报酬，就不该再做别的全职工作，除非原公司明确同意，”此前马莱赫对《财富》表示，“我认为这么做不道德，一旦被公司发现后果很严重。如果是几份兼职，那就另当别论。”
趋势或将持续，但不会太久
《财富》采访的两位从业者都是远程办公者，不过在Reddit“过度就业”社区中，也有人声称在一个地方上班时偷偷做另一份工作也是可能的。不过总体而言，做多份全职工作主要还是靠远程办公。
摩根大通（JPMorgan Chase）等《财富》美国500强公司一直呼吁员工回办公室，然而远程办公仍然普遍。根据美国劳工部（U.S. Department of Labor）最新的《美国时间使用调查》，2024年33%的员工居家办公，仅比2023年的35%略有下降。
宾夕法尼亚大学（University of Pennsylvania）社会学教授杰里・雅各布斯表示，远程办公持续的时间远超过他的预期，但现在老板们也在逐渐摸清员工的真实工作效率。
“远程办公持续得越久，人们就越会当成常规工作方式，”雅各布斯对《财富》表示，“而持续越久，管理水平也会相应提高。”
因此，他认为“同时做多份全职工作”不会变成长期趋势，更像一种尝试。
“如果在别的工作上投入大量时间和精力，很难让本职工作的老板相信你确实在努力工作，”他补充道。
宾夕法尼亚州立大学阿宾顿分校经济学与劳动关系教授朗尼・戈尔登也持类似观点，他认为从事多份全职工作的情况可能增多，但最终发展成什么样还有待观察。
“问题在于，道德规范、生产效率以及相关规章制度能否跟上新趋势？”（*）

• As remote work lingers, employees are doubling, even tripling, their paychecks by secretly juggling multiple full-time jobs—and not even having to pull overtime. The overemployed workers Fortune spoke to are working up to five jobs and pulling in more than $725,000 a year, all within a standard 40-hour week.
If you’ve grown suspicious of your coworker’s away status on Teams or their refusal to turn their camera on during meetings, there’s a chance they might be trying to earn two salaries at once—and fit it all into a normal workweek.
The practice went viral on social media last month when a single software engineer was found to be working at multiple Silicon Valley startups at once, prompting other companies to check whether they had fallen victim to similar deceitfulness.
However, holding down more than one gig at a time—sometimes even up to five—may be bigger than some companies expect. After all, the continued prevalence of remote work has made it more challenging for employers to know exactly what their workers are up to.
“If you’ve worked in corporate America, it is a lot of fluff and not a lot of substance,” said one worker who spoke anonymously with Fortune. They currently work three gigs, making about $725,000 altogether.
At one point, they were balancing five roles total, something they said has been made possible by AI productivity enhancement, with new tools making it easier than ever to send emails, compile meeting notes, and draft deliverables—and get it all done under relatively normal work hours.
“At this point it kind of became a game to me, how many jobs can I do at once and stay sane?” they recalled.
Maxing out on jobs certainly paid. off. While juggling five at once, they estimated bringing in more than $1 million a year.
“I have zero loyalty to a corporation,” they added.
No regrets about taking work from others
Fortune spoke to a second worker who currently holds two jobs in the healthcare technology industry. And despite being a full-time worker making a combined amount of nearly $250,000, they are able to get all the work completed within 40 hours. They don’t have concerns over taking jobs away from those struggling in today’s rocky job market.
“They’re hiring me for my knowledge and my expertise, not for hours worked,” they told Fortune.
And while holding more than one job may raise eyebrows next time you have to put your work history on a resume, they said they will just write the best full-time role they had at a current period to avoid having to answer for holding two jobs at once. However, the demand for talent in the healthcare tech industry has not made it much of an issue.
“I don’t go look for jobs, jobs come and look for me,” they said. “To be honest, I don’t remember the last time I went to apply for a job. And since 2017, I’ve had four different positions.”
In fact, they said they got so many recruitment offers from firms trying to snatch up talent, the companies practically enabled overemployment behavior.
Holding more than one job might be legal, but some people like Lewis Maleh, CEO of executive recruitment agency Bentley Lewis, don’t recommend people emulate the behavior.
“If someone is doing a full-time perm job and being paid accordingly, they should not be doing another full-time perm role unless the company is OK with it,” Maleh previously told Fortune. “I don’t think it’s ethical and will cost you down the road if you get found out. If you are doing a few part-time gigs, that’s of course a different story.”
A trend that might continue, but maybe not for long
Though both of the sources Fortune spoke with are fully-remote employees, some users on the overemployment Reddit community have deemed it possible to secretly work at a second job while on site elsewhere. But by and large, working multiple full-time jobs has been enabled by the ability to work from home.
Despite calls for workers to return to the office from large Fortune 500 companies like JPMorgan Chase, remote work is still common. In fact, 33% of all workers worked from home in 2024, down just slightly from 35% in 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s latest American Time Use Survey.
Remote work has stuck around far more than Jerry Jacobs, professor of sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, expected—but now bosses are slowly getting better at gauging workers’ productivity realities.
“The longer (remote work) lasts, the more I think people will get used to this as just being, you know, one way that people work,” Jacobs tells Fortune. “And I think the longer it lasts, the more you know, people are going to get good at managing it.”
And as a result, he doesn’t expect the trend of having multiple full-time jobs to carry on—but rather something people are experimenting with.
“It’s hard to convince people on your first job, that you’re really doing your job, if you’re spending a lot of your time and energy on your second job,” he adds.
Similarly Lonnie Golden, a professor of economics and labor–human relations at Penn State University Abington, believes working more than one full-time job has the potential to grow, but it remains to be seen what that will actually look like.
“The question is, will the ethics, the productivity, the rules and regulations catch up with this?”
