The unlikely cure for burnout? A second job
Wired Magazine Article by Fadeke Adegbuyi
This article focuses on the “overemployed”—employees secretly working more than one full-time job, aided by the rise of remote work ushered in by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Key quote: “Though the overemployed, at first glance, seem to be resisting the backlash against hustle culture by embracing ever more work, they echo many talking points about work that have long since entered the mainstream—from disenchantment with corporations to the rejection of jobs monopolizing workers’ time and identity.”
“Overemployment is more than just a style of work. It’s an ideology of individualism and self-reliance held by many who feel that corporations have turned their backs on workers.”
At Community Pyvot Group, we think there is a better answer for corporations and workers, for employees and employers.
