The New Zealand lockdown, if nothing else, provides an opportunity to examine our work, as well as home.
You have a friend who is working two jobs and using the pandemic as a cover story, without telling either employer.
You don’t believe it?
Well, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal who talked to six white collar workers secretly working two remote jobs at once it is happening more than you might imagine.
And one reason for that is the site Overemployed helped stimulate their desire to create the extra work to work towards that elusive ‘financial freedom’. The website has war stories such as “How to set low expectations at your two remote jobs,” and “12 rules for working two remote jobs” (Rule #1: Don’t talk about working two jobs).
The reality is that although remote roles provides employers with access to new talent, it can also lead to apathy with employees and a disconnect with their roles.
So, that leaves us with our Top 5 law jobs in New Zealand this week.
