There was one case I heard about where I 100% side with the company. Though, as a rule of thumb I am with the employees. An employee had their college paid for by the company.

My boss did this to my co-worker. After three years working two jobs with no ill effects, my boss had this very argument with her which ended with "look, we're short-handed, I need more out of everyone. This isn't up for debate - quit your second job RIGHT NOW. That's a direct order." So without hesitation she got up and said, "okay. Done. I worked there longer and they pay better.

@LockBresnarKymus okay wait- let’s say this office job isn’t worth a high pay. The point of the video is she needs a second job to live. If the one job doesn’t pay her enough to live then the company has no right to complain abt her having a second job. And if it’s ‘simple’ enough then that means her second job is fine bc clearly it doesn’t effect her current work What lies at the bottom of this mess however is that the employers don’t want her to have other options of livelihood prepared for if they don’t give her proper working conditions or enough pay. They’d rather have you stay another 2 weeks of taking on 3 peoples work for one persons salary before getting you replaced for another young person with low boundaries who will then repeat the cycle of finally leaving
@@jaeshasway Except 99% of jobs aren't a conflict of interest. If I agree to work at a place from 8am to 5pm, that has precisely nothing to do with what I'm doing during those other hours. Unless I'm working for a direct competitor, employers can mind their damn business. And maybe reconsider their pay rates.
@OrganicRobot761 It's really irrational to me to be worried about what someone else is doing off the clock. I had a job like that. They hired me knowing it, but later didn't like it. It's ridiculous.
I think the problem would have occurred when they asked about whether or not their employees had a second job. Sounds like they're asking inappropriate questions in the first place.
Not necessarily, during the hiring process most companies have clauses that include secondary work , I know I had to disclose after work activities that might conflict with my primary responsibilities I accepted those stipulations along with 3 interviews & drug, credit background checks
Exactly. Unless there are regulatory and compliance laws that require disclosure, none of their business. And tbh, I work in a field where we *do* have those regulatory requirements. Guess what? As long as we do our research and avoid working for our clients, to avoid an illegal financial conflict of interest, *HR DOES NOT CARE* and they report the data in the system, confidentially, and we go on about our business.
@@thorr18BEM I know that's a thing in some places. Most U.S. states are at-will. There is no contract they have to stick to. You can quit or they can fire you over almost anything.
@@spirals73 doesn't matter if it's "at-will" or not. A contract is a contract is a contract. If you give your written word that you will do X then you do X.
It's not living outside your means when everything is expensive nowadays but wages aren't going up. I know work 12+ hours in a federal office and make good money. But even I've felt the pinch of living expenses not because I'm living outside my means, but because any little set back can hurt. Car needs repaired, your partner or pet gets sick, you have a accident- life happens. You need enough to where you can live comfortably AND save a bit. For most, that means an extra job OR overtime
When I worked at K-Mart I also worked as a nighttime stocker for Target. My HR Manager for K-Mart started talking to me about conflicts of interest and stuff like that and I just flat told her my interest in money and there is no conflict there then got back to work.
I had a coworker that worked at Target with us and at the Walmart down the street. I was the only person he told because he knew I wouldn’t tell anybody. 😆
@@ivonned32~ Target and Walmart are competitors, and he was worried about being fired from one, if not both of his jobs. People should be able to manage on the wages of one job. Corporate greed is rampant.

I had a colleague that was half time and had been for years. She had a second job in another university. They decided that nobody could have a second job, and it would be grounds for termination if the dean found out. She took that letter to the other place, negotiated a full contract and quit effective immediately. Left on a Friday, didn't even pick the phone on Monday. 😂 And THEN, recruited three other colleagues out from under that same dean to work at the other place, under much better conditions.

Companies don't want their employees working more than one job because it reflects poorly on what they're paying, and sends a bad message to the public. And, by keeping you "focused" on their position, it further enslaves you to them because you need their job even more.
Worst thing are the employees that lease people long term, offer 10 hours a week and then say that you can't work for anyone else. And then they're surprised people don't stay on for long. 🤷♀
"Yes, I have a 2nd job. But the company doesn't approve? It sounds like this company doesn't like having a worker who shows initiative or is a problem solver."
Because if you have a second job, you're not under our thumb comfortably enough. We can't abuse you, exploit you or take advantage of you to our hearts content if you have income even without this job.
All Veronica needed to do was say OK after her manager says we really do prefer our employees not to have a second job. That would’ve been a perfectly acceptable response. We all have preferences, but they’re just preferences so thank you for sharing yours with me have a nice day.
“....if that makes sense.” This is probably just one of the latest HR/management buzzword/-phrases. I’m not exactly up to date on the latest of these, but I seem to remember a few years back “paradigm” and “going forward” were pretty hot. I’m not sure how this bullshit spreads. Maybe thru a break-out session at conferences.
It's only a conflict of interest if you're working for a major competitor or something. And if they can't pay enough to equal what I obviously need to make, they can sit down somewhere.
WORSE mistake this year telling my boss / coworkers i was on track to get a second job.. 2 weeks later they pulled out before my start date: Cant make more money than them no no no
When I leave the office I choose to forget about this place during my free time that you are not paying for. IF you want me to focus on this office, 24/7, you are essentially putting me "on call" 24/7 and thus by law, you are required to PAY for me to FOCUS on this office 24/7. So let me know when my contract has been updated with my new On call salary and then I will drop the 2nd job. But until that contract update occurrs, I will keep my 2nd job, just in case this on call job ends up not happening.
There could be any number of reasons why people work second jobs maybe they had unexpected medical/ mechanical bills their insurance doesn’t cover. Maybe they raised the person rent or trying to save for house, may they are saving for a better more reliable car. Everything is going up but people paycheck. Good for Veronica for standing up for herself its none of the her boss business why she is working a second job as long as it doesn’t inferior with this job.
"We really would like you not to have a second job, but instead you know, focus on a single job here, come early, leave late, work during weekends, not ask for promotion and PTOS or vacations. It is really important for us (company) to have you working until you just die silently so we can hire another worker. I hope this makes sense."
Conversations like this make me suspicious because what I’m hearing is “We like for you to be as fully dependent on us as possible so we have the power to abuse you more.”
I would have said; " Yes, I have a second job, that I really enjoy, actually. They don't seem to have an issue with me having two jobs either. So If you're gonna force me into a corner and insist that I only do one job, then it would be THIS job I quit..."
"Believe you me, I too would love to not have a second job, but I do have to pay the bills and I haven't had a raise here in 3 years. If that's what you want to talk to me about, I'm absolutely happy to have that conversation, we can come up with a number for my salary increase, but if not then I'D prefer that you only worry about my work here in my time here and I'll worry about my other job at my other job, as I've been doing."
What they mean is that they don’t want you to have another job that might pay better and make you leave them suddenly because that job doesn’t screw you over like they do….
I cannot imagine working from 9 to 5 and than go to another job 😮 like...how you got the mojo for that?

Welcome to America: we have no rights and the “land of the free, pull yourself up by the bootstraps” rhetoric that our government tries so hard to push is nothing but a barefaced lie in order to keep the masses fooled and complacent. You only matter and have a voice here if you are wealthy enough. Everyone else gets the gulags.
America has been hollowed out by narcissists. They designed a country where their own capitalism no longer works as supply and demand. The money is printed and funneled straight to the narcissists at the top, and as the money gets more and more useless, the narcissists charge Americans more, but pay Americans less. As Americans slow down their purchasing, the narcissists panic and raise prices and keep cutting pay. So teachers stop teaching, farmers stop farming, etc. So America is where the job situation is this crappy.
Business management doesn't want you working a second job because they want those termination threats to mean something. If your survival depends solely on them, they can pretty much get you to do anything. It's that they want you to feel like a hostage to their whims.
This happened to me once. I told my boss at the "first" job, "As long as I am not working for a competitor, it's allowed. Read the employee handbook. You CAN read, right? What I do after I leave here is none of your concern, nor is it any of your business. They pay me a lot more than you do, so which job do you think I will sacrifice?" Then, she tried everything she could to find a way to fire me.
This is like the second or third animation I've seen tied to this audio. Nearly the same style, but clearly different. Very annoying, and hopefully the original creator gets their proper credit soon.
The problem with a 2nd job is when people abuse their employers by falling short on tasks, always running late, and just not being able to fulfill both positions. If you can work both and do both successfully, great - but also not, because you're worth more :)
This happened to me in the early 90's. I was working a part-time office working 2 other part-time jobs. Office job 'offered' me full time but that included a 1.50/hr pay cut, working 5 days a week instead of the 4 that everyone else worked and someone who I couldn't stand as my supervisor. Imagine their surprise when I declined and gave notice. And the best part? It took me 2 weeks to train the new hire on just my job and they only lasted 3 months!
Clear Violation of the FLSA. Stand your ground, politely and silently; don't 'prefer' to quit either job. Let them fire you and then sue them for unlawful termination and win easily. "When it comes to employees holding second jobs with separate employers, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not impose any restrictions on this practice. Employees are free to work for multiple employers without violating the FLSA." It only affects if the employee with multiple jobs will be paid OVERTIME for work in excess of 40 hours/week. With separate employers, No; if the second job is with the SAME employer, then YES, overtime must be paid. No employer has any right to 'demand' an employee quit any second job, regardless of what you may have been forced or coerced to sign at hiring intake. It is none of their business what an employee does outside of paid hours. Under FLSA an employee cannot be coerced to sign away their protected employment rights. These cases are easily winnable and there are plenty of employment lawyers capable and willing to take on these easy cases; employers always lose.
obviously their commitment to having exclusive access to their employees was not very strong, otherwise they would have proven it with pay. actions are stronger than words, if all they have is words, then they dont mean much.

All Veronica needed to do was say OK after her manager says we really do prefer our employees not to have a second job. That would’ve been a perfectly acceptable response. We all have preferences, but they’re just preferences so thank you for sharing yours with me have a nice day.
She should have said okay yes I'll quit my second job. Then quit this job. that would have been hilarious
“....if that makes sense.” This is probably just one of the latest HR/management buzzword/-phrases. I’m not exactly up to date on the latest of these, but I seem to remember a few years back “paradigm” and “going forward” were pretty hot. I’m not sure how this bullshit spreads. Maybe thru a break-out session at conferences.
"Listen, Girl..." oh no she didn't
“I AM focused on ONE job. And THAT ONE job that I’m focused on, is PAYING MY BILLS.”
There is nothing in life as fun and fulfilling like telling your Boss to do it them fuckimg selves and walk!!! Do it!! It's worth it!!!!!
Simply put," The employee will not be completely in my hands and will not accept pressure if he has another source of income".
“Boggled” down? You mean Bogged down I think.
😂”At all.”
I have not and better not have any manager open their mouth to say any such thing to me. {Kiss teeth}
Do you know what I tell my employer? Half truths like they tell me
jeez these corp people are low key politicians 😂😂😂😂😂
If these aren't actual recorded conversations, the voice actors are great!
It's only a conflict of interest if you're working for a major competitor or something. And if they can't pay enough to equal what I obviously need to make, they can sit down somewhere.
If they sent an email asking about other jobs, I would just refuse to answer. It’s none of their business.
😮😮I worked in a job that had one guideline about 2nd jobs. There could be no conflict of interest, that was it.
WORSE mistake this year telling my boss / coworkers i was on track to get a second job.. 2 weeks later they pulled out before my start date: Cant make more money than them no no no
When I leave the office I choose to forget about this place during my free time that you are not paying for. IF you want me to focus on this office, 24/7, you are essentially putting me "on call" 24/7 and thus by law, you are required to PAY for me to FOCUS on this office 24/7. So let me know when my contract has been updated with my new On call salary and then I will drop the 2nd job. But until that contract update occurrs, I will keep my 2nd job, just in case this on call job ends up not happening.
There could be any number of reasons why people work second jobs maybe they had unexpected medical/ mechanical bills their insurance doesn’t cover. Maybe they raised the person rent or trying to save for house, may they are saving for a better more reliable car. Everything is going up but people paycheck. Good for Veronica for standing up for herself its none of the her boss business why she is working a second job as long as it doesn’t inferior with this job.
Lol 😂 these employers are jokers. They think they own us. Go Veronika!
There's a lot of TH-camrs making different versions of Veronica.
Veronica is my hero. I wanna be like her when I grow up. I might not keep a job, but still….
"We really would like you not to have a second job, but instead you know, focus on a single job here, come early, leave late, work during weekends, not ask for promotion and PTOS or vacations. It is really important for us (company) to have you working until you just die silently so we can hire another worker. I hope this makes sense."
She said, what she said! 💪🏾❤️
Managers don't want us to get a second job but hate to increase working salary 😔
Conversations like this make me suspicious because what I’m hearing is “We like for you to be as fully dependent on us as possible so we have the power to abuse you more.”
I would have said; " Yes, I have a second job, that I really enjoy, actually. They don't seem to have an issue with me having two jobs either. So If you're gonna force me into a corner and insist that I only do one job, then it would be THIS job I quit..."
"Believe you me, I too would love to not have a second job, but I do have to pay the bills and I haven't had a raise here in 3 years. If that's what you want to talk to me about, I'm absolutely happy to have that conversation, we can come up with a number for my salary increase, but if not then I'D prefer that you only worry about my work here in my time here and I'll worry about my other job at my other job, as I've been doing."
What they mean is that they don’t want you to have another job that might pay better and make you leave them suddenly because that job doesn’t screw you over like they do….
Lol😂 Why they keep messing with Veronica!
I cannot imagine working from 9 to 5 and than go to another job 😮 like...how you got the mojo for that? I work a basic level corporate job in germany and this one salary combined with my husbands salary is more than enough to make a living... And we have a kid as well... where the job situation is this crappy? 😢
Welcome to America: we have no rights and the “land of the free, pull yourself up by the bootstraps” rhetoric that our government tries so hard to push is nothing but a barefaced lie in order to keep the masses fooled and complacent. You only matter and have a voice here if you are wealthy enough. Everyone else gets the gulags.
America has been hollowed out by narcissists. They designed a country where their own capitalism no longer works as supply and demand. The money is printed and funneled straight to the narcissists at the top, and as the money gets more and more useless, the narcissists charge Americans more, but pay Americans less. As Americans slow down their purchasing, the narcissists panic and raise prices and keep cutting pay. So teachers stop teaching, farmers stop farming, etc. So America is where the job situation is this crappy.
@DarkXie That was a bit uncalled for.
@DarkXie You a Trump supporter? You sound just as ignorant.
@@TheMusicalElitist he's a Zionist Jew. Trump supporters don't take his name in vain
Business management doesn't want you working a second job because they want those termination threats to mean something. If your survival depends solely on them, they can pretty much get you to do anything. It's that they want you to feel like a hostage to their whims.
This happened to me once. I told my boss at the "first" job, "As long as I am not working for a competitor, it's allowed. Read the employee handbook. You CAN read, right? What I do after I leave here is none of your concern, nor is it any of your business. They pay me a lot more than you do, so which job do you think I will sacrifice?" Then, she tried everything she could to find a way to fire me.
1:16 listen girl
I’ve heard that so many times when they try to get to your level
1:39 woman pay me what you owe me
Don't I always? Lmao! 😂

This is like the second or third animation I've seen tied to this audio. Nearly the same style, but clearly different. Very annoying, and hopefully the original creator gets their proper credit soon.
Who is the original, please?
KEEP VOTING DEMOCRAT, ladies.
The problem with a 2nd job is when people abuse their employers by falling short on tasks, always running late, and just not being able to fulfill both positions. If you can work both and do both successfully, great - but also not, because you're worth more :)
This happened to me in the early 90's. I was working a part-time office working 2 other part-time jobs. Office job 'offered' me full time but that included a 1.50/hr pay cut, working 5 days a week instead of the 4 that everyone else worked and someone who I couldn't stand as my supervisor. Imagine their surprise when I declined and gave notice. And the best part? It took me 2 weeks to train the new hire on just my job and they only lasted 3 months!
No employer would tell a single working mom to quit their job as a mom to “focus” more on their day job. At least I hope not 😂
Clear Violation of the FLSA. Stand your ground, politely and silently; don't 'prefer' to quit either job. Let them fire you and then sue them for unlawful termination and win easily.
"When it comes to employees holding second jobs with separate employers, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not impose any restrictions on this practice. Employees are free to work for multiple employers without violating the FLSA."
It only affects if the employee with multiple jobs will be paid OVERTIME for work in excess of 40 hours/week. With separate employers, No; if the second job is with the SAME employer, then YES, overtime must be paid.
No employer has any right to 'demand' an employee quit any second job, regardless of what you may have been forced or coerced to sign at hiring intake. It is none of their business what an employee does outside of paid hours. Under FLSA an employee cannot be coerced to sign away their protected employment rights. These cases are easily winnable and there are plenty of employment lawyers capable and willing to take on these easy cases; employers always lose.
obviously their commitment to having exclusive access to their employees was not very strong, otherwise they would have proven it with pay. actions are stronger than words, if all they have is words, then they dont mean much.
