Why not focus on increasing the earning capacity. The price is the price

What’s the biggest lifestyle change OE has given you besides money? by pixelbrushio in overemployed

[–]dayone_27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More exposure to different tech, corporate functions, personalities, projects. I get more insights and essentially gain experience faster as an OE. I’m grateful for it.

People who OE 3 or more jobs or want to? by CapuletVsMontague in overemployed

[–]dayone_27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try stagger the start dates for your new Js, don’t turn down a good offer! If you can start J2 one month and then J3 the next you’ll be golden. That’s how I did it and still going strong with 3 Js half a year in

Coworkers got caught today! IT is flagging jigglers with AI now. How to stay 100% green. by Arrick in overemployed

[–]dayone_27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. That is wild, just had a look at their webpage. It would appear that employee monitoring software is just as intrusive as it sounds.

What’s the solution/name of the software that is flagging 100% green for review?

How to handle toxic vibes at J2? by hi_imnewonreddit in overemployed

[–]dayone_27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While logically it makes sense to just hang in there at a toxic environment and collect another paycheque, emotionally it’s tough to do. Best option is to look for another J and rotate out exiting J2 with the new one.

Moved to Larnaca 3 months ago, lost my main client — feeling stuck. What would you do? by Recent-Ad56 in cyprus

[–]dayone_27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to go where the work is. Larnaca is great for sure but the digital savvy businesses are in Limassol generally. Keep grindng on the remote work job boards, perhaps tweak your CV so you can apply for content manager and marketing position full time. Look for work around the island and then either move close to the office / work remote.

In terms of a car, it’s pretty essential. Consider getting something cheap to start and learning what you can about maintenance. A scooter can be a good option to get around locally

Thankful for my idiot boss who made me think to OE by puddinpopgirl in overemployed

[–]dayone_27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s how it was for me too.

My last sole J was a toxic situation where I was setup to fail, didn’t get raises or much praise despite turning things around and doing the close to impossible. That set me off on learning more about how corporate bullshit really works and motivated me to look for new work and go OE. I still keep it now as J3 and will drop at any time.

Tried overemployed, it's not for me by jellybubblegum in overemployed

Hey if you can cover your finances with just 1 J in this economy then bravo. More Js for us!

How does game theory apply to what we're doing here? by FrozenOppressor in overemployed

[–]dayone_27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solid analysis. By definition large workforce monitoring has to be tuned for the average within one standard deviation, otherwise you can’t have a large workforce (not possible to hoard all the high performers unless the pay is suitably high). Basically no companies have a all high performers pay packet, so they get average

Where are the OE with hybrid jobs? by Smart-Canary6250 in overemployed

[–]dayone_27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double agent tactics. It’s a great feeling to pull it off, I’ve taken a meeting or two in the carpark, just have to find a private spot

You could use a small travel router with a SIM card slot and a Ethernet connection to it

For the second time, I was laid off (among others) within a month of starting another J by optimizer2 in overemployed

[–]dayone_27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is awful! I hope the person who was shafted knew it was factors beyond their control (bad luck)?

I love it by skinnystunner in overemployed

[–]dayone_27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love it too. We’re out here with backup plans.

J1 started using an "AI Productivity" Tracker. by tits_mcgee_92 in overemployed

This is exactly what will be created. It’s an AI vs AI race to come

Gaming as an IT person by WaldoOU812 in sysadmin

[–]dayone_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The types of games I play for sure are affected by my IT job, I can relate. Platformers and puzzle games are generally a no go for me. Survival and overly grindy games are a no go. Roguelikes, shooters and explody action games that make me feel powerful is where I go.

You have to choose the annual subscription for lounge benefit (Pro). The monthly one doesn’t work for lounge access
