Im leaving Amazon for FB at end of year. I also just recently passed the goog HC and am stuck in team matching right now. Does anyone know if being overemployed at the FAANG companies can actually get you in trouble? I heard people do this at smaller places where you can get away with slacking?

Thinking of working remotely from East Coast with AMZN without telling Goog/FB in west coast office. This way I can stretch out the work day by like 3 hours. My plan was to put in my work calendars times taken up ahead of time so that I can slot in other meetings from other companies without overlap. I was going to claim personal/family issues whenever I need to travel from East coast to West Coast and vice versa when I need to be in the office.

Can I actually get in legal issues here even if the jobs have no overlap in terms of anything confidential I may work on?

Will other companies fire me and notify the others if they find out? I'm thinking if I can last a year at my least favorite/worst WLB job I can at least milk the signing bonus and maybe even get severance. I have a few friends who may also be able to cover for me in videos If i need to attend multiple calls at once. Since im non-white most of my managers are probably going to be white and not be able to tell us apart anyways speaking from experience.

I also have a couple of tricks up my sleeves such as claiming to be unvaccinated at some jobs so maybe I can get cut some slack or even better be put on paid leave.

I have a coworker that currently does with two companies (AMZN, MSFT) and was wondering if maybe this was alot more common then I thought with everyone WFH now.

Also if I somehow survive for a few years my resume will be stacked. Maybe I can actually be qualified for those 10+ experience with Go-lang jobs.

Blinders please help my current TC sucks and I dont wanna end up poor since I dont work for Albertsons. I dont want to dissapoint my parents any further and would like to actually retire on time before I hit 30.

Current TC 270k. L5 AMZN
New TC at FB 405k IC5 FB
Verbal Offer at goog 310k E4

    Do it. Also you should drive Uber/Lyft after your west coast shift ends to maximize TC efficiency.

      OP
      I'm seriously considering doing Google and FB/AMZN (Whichever job ends up being easier). I suspect many people are doing it with my experience of WFH this past year. I've seen many people skips standups regularly with no repercussion.

    • Yes, ethics is subjective, so we should never ever discuss it.

      If I was to try this out I def wont try to cheat and actually try to perform all three jobs. If employers want to only pay me 1/3rd pay why shouldnt I work 3 jobs? I just want to be able to afford a decent house for my parents and family instead of being stuck in the rat race.

  • Find a connection in India or Eastern Europe. Start a covert offshoring office. Keep collecting FAANGMULA+ jobs and offloading the work to your remote contractors. Take a majority cut of FAANG TC and pay the contractors πŸ₯œ. Congratulations, you are WITCH.

      Nah they’ll sue you to make you an example. IP theft is something they guard against religiously even if you don’t feel it every day, and the cost of them hiring an outside law firm to sue you for damages (maybe a mil all in?), even if frivolous and dismissed, will probably bankrupt you.

      Not to mention you will be on every black list from here to Oracle

      First of all, any dispute between you and your employer needs to go to confidential arbitration first (employees are now allowed to directly sue for sexual harassment).

      And if they do sue / take you to arbitration they have to show actual damages. If you did your job well, and it's proven through your ratings, there's no damage. As for IP theft, it can't be speculative - they need some evidence.

      Why would you think every company would blacklist you?
