Even if being "overemployed" is technically legal, that doesn’t mean there won’t be consequences. Experts say your LinkedIn activity, Zoom invites, and taxes can give you away.
It may not meet the dictionary definition but I’ve considered moonlighting working an extra job, without necessarily telling your boss, but outside of regular work hours.
Overemployed i see used in the context of working multiple jobs during the same work hours and just not telling any of your bosses you’re working 2-3 other jobs.
That’s how i distinguish them anyway 🤷♂️
Did you hear about how the tech industry had a mass layoff last week? … of 1 guy.

But that’s kinda it: the act of working at an extra job, especially without telling your main employer
In my case, I tell my hiring manager when I sign the hiring doc: “I’ve been moonlighting for 22 years. It’s as-available contract night work, and it’s always more lucrative than OT or standby so I’ll decline where possible. You won’t notice, but I’m mentioning it up-front.”
And then I sign. If I need to cross out some weird “we also own your free time” clause, I will do so and call it out as such.
