[ˌoʊvərɪmˈplɔyənt]

A practice of individuals holding two or more full-time jobs simultaneously, often without their employers being aware.

This trend has been enabled by the rise of remote work, allowing employees to juggle multiple roles and increase their income significantly. However, this can lead to potential issues such as burnout, decreased job performance, and ethical concerns related to loyalty and honesty with employers. Overemployment also raises questions about work-life balance and the long-term sustainability of managing multiple full-time positions.
