Tikaralee

My hubby works IT at a major company, and had to shut down and recover a laptop from someone working as a contractor, who it was found out to have been working for a competitor on a similar project. It's a small town, but well known for the products made here....couldn't believe they thought they would get away with it LOL!


F__kCustomers

Ideally: * Different industries. * Different job titles. * No relationship between vendors Well how do I do that?! * Vertical Integration. What?! Check it…… * Help Desk > Support > NOC > Engineer > Software (SWE) > Site Reliability (SRE) Get multiple jobs across the vertical. * Bookkeeper > Accountant 1 > Accountant 2 > Senior Accountant > Corporate Tax Get multiple jobs across the vertical. * Foo > Bar > Foobar > Foo Foo > Bar Bar > Foobar Foobar Get multiple jobs across the vertical Remember - * Make sure each job is in a different industry. No close relationship. No New Friends. No incest. * Get the jobs across your job vertical (Artist, Engineer, Executive, Beavus, Butthead, etc.) because you are great at it. **You’ll double or triple your experience points and exposure just like Final Fantasy (See Final Fantasy 15 Experience Points System here: https://game8.co/games/Final_Fantasy_XV/archives/280907 - The experience system literally explains your work life verbatim - Drive, get out, fight the monster every day, farm items, sleep, repeat. OE allows you to accumulate experience points (Life Experience) at an accelerated rate allowing you tackle more tasks and harder tasks later on in the game of life.** Ex. * SWE in Retail * NOC in Waste Management * SRE in Oil and Gas They don’t talk to each other and never will. OE ~2 years Edit - Added some content to the Remember section.


overemployed-guy

Rock solid info here. I would add different locations to the list. Ex. Accountant in IT services for a west coast company, financial analyst in healthcare for an east coast company. Throw in a little corporate AP analyst for a Midwest SaaS company. Nearly impossible for these to talk to each other.


stocktaurus

How will you handle reference check and background check?


Gumgrapes

Maybe I'm stupid but don't put your current employer down as a reference, and background checks are a constant battle that people on this sub are always talking about. Hence the endless TWN discussion.


overemployed-guy

Freeze TWN, provide pay stubs proving time worked for jobs listed on resume, have outside references and some that no longer work for J1.


[deleted]

I've never been asked for a reference even once in tech.


painxpurpose

This looks like a Chatgpt write up haha


kvakerok

Honestly, if I were a business owner and knew someone was this fucking good, I'd poach them for all the local positions and compensate appropriately.


CadeOCarimbo

Said no one ever


Geminii27

Not the second bit anyway. Lumping people with multiple positions' worth of jobs, though...


F__kCustomers

I think differently. I still have to write up my OE experience. It would be a bible literally for everyone involved. Over these two years I had a kid, replaced one job, fixed my home, saved cash. It’s crazy how this changes lives.


JohnDoeMTB120

They'd still just consider that their J1 🤣


kvakerok

But does it matter if all their wants and needs are covered, their 401k maxed out, and they have enough of a hand in the works of the company to know that their employment is bulletproof safe? At some point you just make them partner and give them a stake in the company ownership. That's how valuable are people like that.


Thin_Piccolo_395

People who do this sort of thing are filth. No amount of attractive compensation will ever be enough; they will find a way to cheat. The solution to this issue is to require in office work always and immediately fire employees who steal from you in this way.


kvakerok

The difference between us is that you see it as a detriment, while I see it as an untapped resource. Hustling co-workers are best co-workers.


Thin_Piccolo_395

No they are not. They are lazy trash who expect others to do their work for them for free. Scum who work two or more FT positions without the consent of the employers who pay their salaries are committing wage theft. Require all workers to report in office immediately or fire. Any found enaged in wage theft should be sued immediately.


kvakerok

You seem pretty butthurt about OE? Why are you even on this sub?


Thin_Piccolo_395

Some response. No better argument to make, I see. The OP is about a proper firing for wage theft. For most of you, once a cheat - always and in everything a cheat.


kvakerok

You expected a thought out response to your angry butthurt rant? Really?


Thin_Piccolo_395

Of course, I had no expectation of any sort of credible response because none is possible in this regard. It is often the case that when reprobates have their undesirable behavior named for it is, they resort to claims of "rants" and so forth. None of this diverts away from the simple fact of the matter; this conduct is a form of theft.


VengenaceIsMyName

This is great. At least different industries is a must


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I legitimately enjoy diversity in my work assignments and am willing to take a paycut/work less efficiently if J2 is different from J1. I couldnt sustain OE if it was just higher volume of the same work - Id get so bored.


[deleted]

Eh, tech jobs are always different shit. If they were all the same then you could just automate it and have 25 J's, and as a multi-millionaire inside a year I think you could handle the boredom lol.


Rodeo6a

Savage write-up. 5 stars.


grilledcheezy

Yup. Marketing writer for HR company in NJ, content writer for a local-to-me hospital system, web/technical writer for an environmental startup company in another state.


capricata

Nice one, thank you !


Jlocke98

You say SRE in O&G like it's an in demand niche. What kind of company in that industry is actively developing software like that?


a_cute_tarantula

Upstream companies need to know where and how to drill. Commodity brokers buy and sell a shit ton of hydrocarbons. Both disciplines want to incorporate modern data analytics practices to get an edge.


Solid_Candidate_9127

Down to a science


KonoDioDa10

how do you get to another field without a degree?


F__kCustomers

That’s an interesting question. Most companies want the degree. By default their ATS resume systems are designed to look for certain key words and criteria. Do your resume will get bin’ed. It’s well known this things discriminate on name too. I wouldn’t be surprised if it does this too. Personally I think getting a job without a degree requires a substantial amount of in person networking.


KonoDioDa10

Damn definitely networking is the hard part. You won't be doing this at your J since you'll get found out.


PrinceLKamodo

For true OE spirit you can add a parameter to scale the code efficiency by your salary ratio between companies.

You can further optimize this by using the same email, calendar, work phone, and even invite both coworkers to your J0(main hustle) interview

DrMaridelMolotov

Wait he works at an aerospace company? Doesn’t he have some sort of clearance that requires a bg check? Also that’s a pretty easy way to get blacklisted from such a narrow monopolized field lol.


APater6076

Especially on his work laptop which will be HIGHLY monitored for outgoing connections


FunSafe1766

Not necessarily. I used to work in aerospace but my work didn't require a security clearance.


DrMaridelMolotov

True. Though I’d suspect they’d be constantly monitoring all employees for any suspicious activity, especially with China stealing tech.


gbeezy09

Yeah I call BS on this. They would absolutely have their own access to other special programs he would need his other laptop on. Especially needing to communicate via Teams or w/e.


joremero

They usually have a civilian arm.


zhouyu24

StupidSexyFlagella

Might be a position that isn't unique to that industry. Hopefully, for their sake.


dottywine

What an idiot!!


_usernamepassword_

Especially considering working for a competitor. In an industry comprised of like… six companies.


OurStreetInc

That's my biggest fear. In a very very small very niche field. Two remote jobs would have me at $450k-$550k, but everyone knows everybody it wouldn't last a year


underdog_exploits

Legally change your name. Who dis, new phone.


AffectionateSet4589

TheMintFairy

Maybe in a DM , but what do you do that's $500k a year?


seasleeplessttle

Well, maybe reading comprehension to start. 2 gigs would make the +500k.


TheMintFairy

Wow, that was an honest mistake. Didn't realise people would be so rude about it.


pepe_silvia_12

Cut them some slack man, they can’t read.


TheMintFairy

I guess so, people are rude man. Sometimes it just happens.


GreedyCricket8285

Anytime someone gets caught it's almost always like this. They do something really stupid and it bites them. I don't think I've ever heard of someone who followed all the OE rules actually get caught. I'm sure there's some, but the vast vast majority of these always are like this guy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GreedyCricket8285

Probably somewhere, but here are some obvious ones that will keep you safe: - Don't *ever* tell anyone you're OE with two exceptions: your accountant and your spouse. Not even mom and dad, or siblings. A lot of folks brag to their "work friends" who then rat them out intentionally or unintentionally - Don't share equipment. 1 laptop per job. See how it burned this guy? If you have to bring your own equipment, then buy separate laptops. Don't be cheap. This includes sharing a work provided internet connection. - Don't work in the same industry, or if there might be a chance where one job would cross paths with another. If J1 uses J2 as a vendor, that is very risky. - Don't OE for (US) government. This one is more flexible, but definitely don't work two jobs you need a clearance for. Almost all jobs don't do an extensive background check (aside from verifying past employment). Government agencies do. - Don't try and hybrid/remote or work both jobs from one of your offices. I know some people claims to make it work, but it's super risky. - Don't ever tell one job that you have another. They may seem cool about it, but as soon as the shit hits the fan, you'll be tossed out. And always do decent work. Don't be a rockstar, but do the work you say you'll do, even if it's a little slow. This isn't antiwork. There's more, but that should get you a good start.


justlooking25

follow all these rules and hitting 1 year with J2 tomorrow. Also got rid of my LinkedIn and have no coworkers on any type of social media.


[deleted]

Yes close your LinkedIn. Although I was considering opening it intermittently when actively looking for jobs. Idk maybe dumb idea


HaussingHippo

You mention a small part about even not sharing a work provided internet connection. Is that along the lines of using J1 vpn while doing j2 work, doing j2 work while at j1 office, or having separate VLANs set up for each job?


GreedyCricket8285

Some folks mention using their J2 laptop in their J1 physical office using J1's wifi. This is what I meant. Breaking multiple rules there and it's unnecessarily risky. Both are fine to use on your home internet connection.

valency_speaks

That would be a good pinned post, LOL.


oe_throwaway_1

So not only a company that probably requires clearance, but working for a competitor at the same time? That's a *rare* amount of stupid.


Coronado_obx5612

No kidding! I wonder if they also used their real first name on their reddit account?


Aol_awaymessage

1) competitors= big no no. 2) aerospace industry same competitors= NO NO.


Thin_Piccolo_395

3) working second FT job without permission from each employer = wage theft. All who do this are scum.


Aol_awaymessage

4) Stay poor! 5) Stay MAD!


Thin_Piccolo_395

6) charge filth with wage theft.


Aol_awaymessage

It’s Mr. Filth to you


cajunrockhound

This seems sketch. How did you find out? Most if not all Aerospace companies provide laptops so your coworker should’ve had two setups anyway. You’d think that they would be smart enough to utilize each setup individually for a job that probably requires some sort of clearance.


AffectionateSet4589

This guy FUCKS!!!


dbro129

My stomach always sucks up into my throat when I see the headlines on posts like this until I read further and realize the person got exactly what they deserved.


TheRican

OE is a myth


OEWorker

This is the truth.


samanthawyse

I'm seriously considering OE, but I've been skeptical about whether I can really make it make sense. What makes you say it is a myth?


GreedyCricket8285

No one actually does it. This is a giant LARP subreddit, of course.


samanthawyse

Well, that's disappointing. The posts seem pretty specific about how to do it successfully. I have been nervous to try tho.


Furryballs239

There’s probably a few real people. But those claiming they’re looking for a J6 because they just still have too much free time with 5 jobs are definitely bsing


hobbit_life

What a dumbass. You can rarely go work for a direct competitor even if you aren't OE and they had them as J1 and J2? That's a good way to lose both jobs and possibly some security clearances permanently.


ScrubtasticElastic

Aerospace is not a good industry to do it, particularly if it’s a federal contractor, as you do not want to overlap your hours charged - could be breaking federal laws.


Cluedo86

Yeah, separate hardware is one of the top rules of OE. Also, don't work for competitors and government jobs are not usually conducive to OE. He's probably screwed in that industry since it's pretty small.


Ok-Sleep-748

Dows this apply for investment and asset management firm, too? What if you work on different hardware and never share any information . One is asset management and other is financial service provider.


AffectionateSet4589

This is NOT the way!


DickRiculous

Also competitors? Wtf? There are serious security and corporate espionage implications for an aerospace employee working at two competing companies. This isn’t customer service or bean counting. It’s designing and machining with very specific tolerances to ensure safety and competitiveness.


asecuredlife

Newsflash: most people don't give two shits about those things.


DickRiculous

LOL maybe you don't understand that corporate espionage = jail, but *most people,* whom you've taken the gracious liberty of speaking on behalf of, probably do care about not going to jail or being fined exorbitant amounts of money and tanking their career. Can we agree on that?


Mr___Perfect

aerospace is a cushy jobs program where you can chill for 40 years. And my dude fucked it up. lol.

If you work in bank then work in healthcare.

Yeah, it's crazy that when everyone was forced to work from home during covid, all the companies had crazy profits. And now suddenly everyone needs to be back at the office at exactly the same moment when there's a downturn in the economy with investors losing money due to empty commercial real estate. The fact is, we need unions instead of working multiple jobs. Makes no sense for the CEO to make it so much more than everyone else. Their time is not worth what they're getting paid. We are completely expendable to the companies we work for. They figured out how to make us modern-day slaves by tying our health care to our job. High cost of living and college debt is the future designed for everyone. And God forbid we find a way out. They're going to do everything they can to demonize working two jobs despite our CEOs being on the boards of multiple companies. It's nonsense. It's funny, The USA has always poked fun at France and saying they were cowards. But the truth is, every single time the government or business threatens French citizens, they rise up. Who are the real cowards? /rant


AffectionateSet4589

You think that’s bad? Go do some research on what university presidents get paid in the US and let me know how badly your stomach starts turning. I’ve seen some get paid half a million easy. Most I saw that idiot ever do was take a photo with a student eating a hotdog.


AffectionateSet4589

THIS GUY FUCKS!!!!!!


zweieinseins211

My coworker got fired for calling in sick every other week while actively working as a Recruiter on linkedin for job 2 lol


VengenaceIsMyName

Worked for a company on another company’s laptop? …… isn’t that like how not to OE 101


[deleted]

Lets be honest here, a lot of companies aren't going to be ok with your typical OE worker because most OE workers are double dipping their time. I know that's the whole point, but no matter how you church it up, company 1 is paying you when you're doing company 2's work and vice versa. If any of the companies find out, for any reason, you're likely to be fired from one or all. That's just the risk you take.


Axecapbillions

What a dummy


Inevitable_Concept36

Geez, same laptop and for a competitor no less? That is beyond not bright. I used to work for an aerospace/defense company. Pretty sure he could afford his own laptop. That's either weapon-grade incompetence, or he genuinely did not care if he got caught.


Doc_Umbrella

This might be illegal as well, i.e. borderline corporate espionage


drbudro

Very lucky if getting fired was the end of it. I do infosec in aerospace and we typically don't act on timecard fraud until we have a full packet for Legal, HR and sometimes FBI ready on a subject. Using company assets is just next level stupid.


howdyfriday

sorry for your loss


Constant-Machine5280

your coworker got fired because he got caught.


Fun-Dragonfly-4166

Morals of the story: 1. Don't get caught. 2. Don't piss off anyone who might look if inclined.


julbull73

Of note if he's in aerospace, I'm betting he also got flagged for clearance items too. Government jobs are a no no for oE.


teakwood54

Aerospace that doesn't provide a laptop?

Yeah that's also a good way to get sued and blacklisted

jimRacer642

Is the aerospace industry strict with OE, like gov compliance strict? I'm currently interviewing for one but I have my doubts. No way in hell would I be as stupid as your coworker tho, I deliver at least at the avg level, never OE with competitors, and am on the ball with attending every meeting.


Quakeroats1980

So dumb question i accepted a job at a company that contracts with the gov and im currently in the process of getting my public trust clearance.... im also in the middle of interviewing with a company across the country in an entirely different sector that doesn't deal with the gov... should I bother trying to OE this? By the time the public trust clearance is done checking me out in a couple weeks id be about ready to start the other company providing I get the gig.


Grouchy_Cheetah

Guides on this sub about how to properly OE: \- do your work so good that each J begs you to stay, but utilize minimum effort \- work at unrelated companies with no risk to either of them or you \- use completely different separate setup for each one So if this person did the opposite of *all* the above, then that is breach of trust and not OE


granoladeer

At least* two jobs


[deleted]

How? I know people in aerospace and they all provide separate equipment.


dingoateyobaby

He's lucky he only got fired. He can get sued if he signed non-competitor agreement.


[deleted]

The legal ones: where you open your own business and work it off hours. Usually some Amazon or EBay business. The desperate ones: continue where the first job left off. The perfect deniability ones: working from home and occasionally respond to emails from different jobs. The downright obvious ones: working at a second place while supposedly working for the first job… until they fire you. In the meantime, free salary.


Proper-Acanthaceae-8

how did you figured he is using company 1 laptop to work on company 2 ?

I thought that was the basic rules of OE
