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!!

I don’t understand what the last paragraph has to do with the first paragraph??

However the answer to your question is that several people have done this. It was going on a lot during the pandemic. It is highly unethical but it can be done.

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.
