Working two remote jobs (alien.top)

Is it possible to work two remote salaried jobs, without the HRs / accountants / payroll finding out about the other job?

I know it’s going to be a hassle to move around meetings and stuff, so it’s definitely risky.

For reference I am in Canada. And I wouldn’t mind working from Mexico!!

Why is it unethical? I see myself as a business and it is normal for businesses to have more than one customer. If I meet the needs of my customers then why should one customer care how many other customers I have.

Because of IP ownership. Clearly the poster plans to work the same role and pawn some portion of their work off to two companies. Who owns the output then.

Companies have multiple customers because of contracts. Contractors can have multiple customers. And customers can’t advise them on their use of time, or they risk the IRS considering it employment instead.

If you present it that way in the interview and your employer knows you are doing other work, then I would agree, if you are upfront about it. If that’s your business model.

I don't really care if you agree or not.
