any half-competent salaried contract includes a stipulation that you basically can’t work anywhere else at the same time (moonlighting clause). when they find out you do they will fire you. if they’re very angry they will also sue you to claw back some of your wages.

there's a clause in our employment rules that say we gotta tell the cfo and legal if we have another job that we actually get an annual income statement from. lol i had to do it with my twitch stream. (they were like "yea sure thats fine just dont do it during work hours")

yeah my contract has the "no other work without permission from the company" clause

but they gotta catch you first, if they're so bloated and disorganized with disconnected management to overemploy a bunch of people, i have doubts on their ability to get their poo poo together enough to do anything beyond maybe fire you :getin:

reminds me of the story of the guy that outsourced his own job to somebody in china and nobody noticed until they started asking questions about why there was so much vpn access from foreign ip’s

he was a verizon employee

i feel you hard but have you looked at what’s out there in terms of remote work?

I did. and got some attractive offers too. but all wanted me in Wellington/auckland for at least the first six months to “bed in”. can’t really do that yet. looking at the price of long term single studio appartments/rooms in those cities is very depressing. especially when I think I have to live in that away from my family for x number of months.

wife and I have sort of decided that we will look at it all again once the kids have left home. wife is a teacher so also have that to consider. so for now I be over employed in the same job.

and also tend to the farm.

I turned down a job last night. it was 10k above what I am on now but in return I’d have to work harder, and I thought about all this thread had taught me and concluded that the right thing to do was stay in my comfort zone

...don't you already work way harder than what your contract says you should? is this not potentially you turning down something good?

I’d been doing extra work at other pharmacies so that’s why the big hours m, that’s over now tho


but regardless, my job gets busy sometimes because of temporary lack or staffing, and poor time management by the manager (me)

but the job I’ve turned down is busy all of the time because their business model fundamentally relies on it

moo man if you want to work remotely with occasional travel into The City then theres lots of places in NZ that can hook that up. slide into my DMs if you think AWS would be an ok place to work. theres no requirement to be in an office for onboarding at all

/would/ aws be an okay place to work? a recruiter just slid into my email to ask if i'd be into being a `system development engineer` there. for what it's worth i've been a `site reliability engineer` for the last few years, not that i give a poo poo, it's all just transmuting my anger at computers into understanding and finally a paycheck
