overemployed
Holding multiple jobs
Overemployed describes someone who secretly holds multiple full-time jobs simultaneously, typically remote positions, collecting multiple salaries while employers believe they have exclusive dedication.
The term gained traction during the remote work boom of the early 2020s, when working from home made it easier to juggle competing responsibilities.
He's been overemployed for two years and nobody at either company has caught on.
Unlike moonlighting, overemployed carries connotations of deliberate concealment and workplace deception.
