More than half of Russians know colleagues who have more than two jobs 01:58

Every fourth person periodically meets with colleagues who combine jobs in several companies at once, another 17% encounter this situation rarely, and 9% regularly. Such data are based on the results of a survey of the freelance search service Konsol.Pro, the results of which were studied by socialbites.ca.

Half of the Russians surveyed (53%) perceive the additional projects and work of “overly busy” employees as neutral, provided that this activity does not harm the main work or general tasks. One in five “overly busy” people (20%) supports such colleagues because they understand their need for money. And only 5% of the survey respondents have a negative perception of specialists who perform the same tasks for several companies at the same time.

According to 61% of respondents, “overly busy” people manage to earn from 40 to 60 thousand rubles more per month with the help of part-time jobs, which pushes the respondents to be “overly busy”. So, 34% admitted that they try to work in more than one company at the same time. The absolute majority of respondents (69%) believe that they can take on one or two more large projects in addition to their main job. At the same time, “overly busy” people do not divide their working time between the main and additional sources of income – 76% of respondents are ready to complete tasks on additional projects at any time necessary (including during the official working day). .

Respondents note that when choosing additional projects, they mostly pay attention to wages (37%), and only 28% to the prospects of the project. Most often, an additional project brings the “super-busy” from 30 to 40 thousand rubles – this answer was chosen by 59% of respondents. At the same time, respondents prefer to conduct employment relations with third-party employers through freelancing – this tax regime was chosen by 57% of respondents.

“Overemployment is a transitional story between traditional employment relations and fully flexible employment. Basically, a person cannot work for a long time and systematically. Therefore, most likely, he is not fully loaded in one job and has the opportunity to work elsewhere. “In the future, this situation will be equalized, and many jobs will have flexible employment,” said Mikhail Provizion, founder of the platform for cooperation with freelancers Konsol.Pro.

“Excessively busy” employees are less likely to report to management about the emergence of outside work. Only 16% of such specialists coordinate part-time work with their superiors. The vast majority (60%) successfully conceal other workplaces and clients, including remote work (21%).

Interestingly, according to the majority of employees of Russian companies surveyed, excessive employment harms personal life and does not benefit the results of core activities. 65% of respondents claim that they do not have enough time for their personal lives when working on multiple projects at the same time, and 71% of “super busy” people admit that the additional workload of third-party projects negatively affects their success in their core business.
