    Wealth redistribution is required to fix the majority of economic and social issues globally.

    Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives.

    I swear, lack of common sense and awareness really hit Gen Z hard. Here’s why this is stupid and summing up the article. You’re letting society know you are ok with filling your day with tasks for wages that cannot sustain a living. 2. If you sign an non-compete or NDA and thinking you’re clever because nobody will find out, you will have 0 jobs when they do and probably out of that field for a solid 1 year minimum. Nobody will hire you which is also not illegal. How do you fix this? Stop accepting shit jobs for minimum wage or unionize to where it doesn’t get over taken by a nefarious party persuading an entire generation multiple jobs instead of one solid paying job is ok. This is on the same level where Gen Z employees say it’s ok to live out of a uhaul. God damn disappointment. No, Gen Z’rs don’t get to blame on Millenials, Gen-X, and Boomers. Lead to a change. Dammit I am ranting again.

    This article makes me want to vomit. Like blaming people who are forced to work multiple jobs to survive and treating them like criminals.

    Fuck you. These aren’t billionaires hoarding wealth, they are people who can’t afford school, a place to live, or their next meal. If one job can’t support them, then they’ll take five!

    Even if the work is getting done, Maleh says employers care because:

    It creates trust issues: If you’re hiding this, what else are you hiding?

    Even if the work is getting done, eh? These are the same employers who underpay and want to spy on their workers as if they were prison inmates, right?

    Fuck you twice!

      WTF do they have a leg to stand on to complain about or question ‘trust’ between employee and employer? They’re paid for the work, the product. If it’s getting done, then good. What goes on after hours or outside of work? None of their goddamn business.

        For once, the quiet part is quiet; in order to suppress worker’s rights, employers need us at a disadvantage. Any breathing room, comfort, success, or independence we can win threatens them because they like us weak.

      This is Fortune magazine so it’s probably an affront of fiefdom that one person-one job traditionally abuts. Now managers have to compete with each other through the worker and the worker has the power to take sides and screw upwards. Someone isn’t getting help unless they all work together. It’s upsetting the work/life balance that used to be one-way.

      Those are not the people they’re talking about. The article is about people with good paying jobs taking more than one. They’re gaming the system and I’m all for it.

        I think it’s selfish. How many of those jobs could have gone to someone who actually needs one? It’s essentially job hoarding. If you’re that much of a productive genius, why don’t you (the people with multiple well-paying jobs, not you personally) volunteer or start your own business and do something to actually improve the world instead of just hoarding wealth.

    I mean if I can satisfy your requirements by working two hours of your nonsense job, then why would I work 8.

    And if that nonsense job doesn’t pay enough to live then I’ll work another one of those.

    That’s logic, not crime.

    If you’re hiding this, what else are you hiding?

    Hiding? So now everything we don’t share is hiding?

    I can’t wait to go tell my boss about the massive shit I took this morning. I don’t want to hide anything from my employer!

      They can see your W4 withholding and any deductions like child support or garnishments. They cannot see anything beyond their payroll system.

    Good. Lot of these companies contribute nothing to society other than GDP and consumerism.

    You can replace workers with AI but not customers.
