☆ 'Overemployed' Workers Secretly Juggle Several Jobs for Big Salaries
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-13 | by ( Aki Ito | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +21 min

Holding down multiple jobs has long been a backbreaking way for low-wage workers to get by. They freeze their employment histories with Equifax and hibernate their LinkedIn profiles, so employers can't see they're holding multiple jobs. Those with multiple jobs also seek out positions they hope will be OE-friendly — light on meetings, as well as on the workload. There's another incentive: Unlike most Americans, those who work multiple jobs don't have to worry about layoffs. There's something radical that happens to a worker's psychology when they have multiple jobs.

Michael Cohen finished testifying Wednesday, his second day on the stand at Trump's NY fraud trial.

Just after the lunch break, Trump was suddenly summoned to take the witness stand by the judge. Engoron found Trump's testimony – in which he swore under oath that he'd meant Cohen, not the clerk, was "partisan" – was "not credible."

I recently bought a vintage 1980s Italian designer silk chiffon dress with matching belt and jacket, in somewhat fragile condition. And is there a way to keep sweat off the delicate fabric so I can wear it more places? So it’s worth recognizing that while vintage shopping is a laudable and sometimes highly satisfying practice, one rife with the promise of unique and unexpected finds — the mystery of what might be unearthed! Not to mention a slightly different way of thinking about exactly what you are buying and its role in your life. (Vintage shopping for collectible pieces is a whole different matter with a different value proposition.)

Netflix launched its video game streaming service in November 2021, investing in mobile app games. The pivot to interactive streaming comes as Netflix's growth has slowed to single digits. As Netflix chases younger audiences and grapples with keeping its current subscribers content, the streaming giant has fixed its sights on a new chapter: video games. In late 2021, Netflix began dabbling in creating its mobile app games. The pivot to video games comes as Netflix's growth has slowed tremendously — according to records kept by Stock Analysis, the company's annual growth had never been below 12% until last year.

The much-hyped launch of Threads, Meta's Twitter killer, might have a particularly Musky scent to it — but this time, it could be coming from Meta's CEO. Encouraged by the chaos at Twitter since Musk's takeover, he launched "Project 92" to create Threads, Meta's own text-based app, the Journal reported.
