Rule summary

  • This isn't Antiwork: Not the place to come complain about your boss, your job, the job market, how you got laid off or "this is why we OE". There are other places to vent. This sub is to help people figure out how to be successfully overemployed.
  • No low quality trolling / shitposting: Quality useful content only. Too much nonsense in the sub ruins the quality.
  • No Doxxing / No Reddit ToS violations: Self Explanatory. Don't be bitter that someone is doing better than you and try to dox them. Dont violate Reddit Terms of Service.
  • Don't Promote Unauthorized communities: Dont post links to random communities without relevance. They are considered spam unless proven otherwise.
  • No solicitation: Don't' solicit others or propose work opportunities for yourself or others.
  • Check the FAQ first: We get a lot of the same question or topic over and over again. We're trying to provide high quality succinct responses in our FAQ post pinned at the top of the feed. Please check the FAQ in response to what you just posted/commented.
  • No SPAM or job search sites without open source code links: Must provide git repositories or source code links to any job search sites you post and must not promote any closed source sites or resume systems. DMs to get info are NOT cool.
  • AI Slop/LARPing/Low effort posts: No obvious AI Slop or obvious LARPing or very low effort posts. We dont want to see anything you didnt put effort into typing. Karma farm elsewhere.
  • This isn't a job hunting sub: Sorry to hear you're struggling finding a job but helping you job hunt isn't what this sub is here for. Please don't spam this sub asking for us to divulge job hunting secrets or sources. Some things are gatekept for a reason to protect the community. If you have specific job hunting questions come to the discord

Works well

  • A detailed writeup of how you track tasks across two remote jobs, with no links and no pitch.
  • An open source tool shared with a git repository link, introduced with a real story of how it helped you stay overemployed.
  • A comment answering a question about time tracking or calendar management, based on your own experience.

Avoid

  • Do not post closed source job search sites or resume systems, as the rule No SPAM or job search sites without open source code links bans them.
  • Do not ask the community to help you find a job, because This isn't a job hunting sub removes that content.
  • Do not complain about your boss, your layoff, or the job market, since This isn't Antiwork forbids venting here.
  • Do not post obvious AI generated text or low effort posts, as AI Slop/LARPing/Low effort posts will be removed.
  • Do not solicit others or propose work opportunities, because No solicitation bans it.
  • Do not post links to unrelated communities, since Don't Promote Unauthorized communities treats them as spam.

What r/overemployed Is For

This community is for people who work multiple jobs during the same 40 hours and want to reach financial freedom. The description and rules make clear it is a place to figure out how to be successfully overemployed, not a place to vent or job hunt. People come here for practical tactics on managing two or more jobs at once, and the moderators want high quality, useful content only.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rule This isn't Antiwork keeps out complaints about bosses, jobs, layoffs, and the job market, so any post framed as venting will not last. No low quality trolling / shitposting means your post needs to be genuinely useful, not a quick joke or a shallow take. No solicitation blocks you from proposing work or pitching services, and No SPAM or job search sites without open source code links adds a hard technical bar if you mention any job search tool. Don't Promote Unauthorized communities stops you from dropping links to other subreddits or communities. AI Slop/LARPing/Low effort posts means anything that looks AI generated or thrown together will be removed. Check the FAQ first tells you to read the pinned FAQ before asking a common question.

What To Post

A good post here is a detailed, practical account of how you manage multiple jobs at once, written in your own words with real effort. If you are a founder with a tool that helps people stay overemployed, the only safe path is to share it openly with git repositories or source code links, and to keep any mention tied to a real use case rather than a pitch. You could also share a workflow, a spreadsheet, or a script that helps someone juggle two remote roles, as long as you are not soliciting or selling. The best move is to answer questions in comments where you have direct experience, and to read the pinned FAQ before you post so you do not repeat a common topic.

What To Avoid

Avoid any post that complains about a boss, a job, a layoff, or the job market, because This isn't Antiwork will get it removed. Do not post low effort or AI generated content, since AI Slop/LARPing/Low effort posts bans it. Never solicit others or propose work opportunities, as No solicitation makes that clear. Do not post links to other communities without a strong reason, because Don't Promote Unauthorized communities treats them as spam. Do not share closed source job search sites or resume systems, and never ask people to DM you for info, since No SPAM or job search sites without open source code links forbids it. Do not ask the community to help you find a job, because This isn't a job hunting sub says that is not what the sub is for. Always check the pinned FAQ first, or you may be removed under Check the FAQ first.
