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.

It may be contrary to contractual agreements, I don't think ethical is the right word here. Given the asymmetrical risks that employees face, it's only rational that some workers seek to risk hedge by holding multiple jobs (I've been laid off twice in the last 12 months). Is it illegal ? Maybe depends on your terms and jurisdictions. Is it unethical? Depends on your view but I don't think it's a clear cut "THIS IS BAD"
