“My company is always advertising for more people in my position, hiring any that are good enough and accept the pay. I decided to apply for the same job, but as my husband, who pretended to be me on the Zoom interview, with me telling him what to say. He got the job. I submit half my work as him and the other half as myself. Been smooth sailing for six months so far. Funnily enough, he also gets paid $5,000 more than me.”

“I am in IT. I have a fairly niche title that everybody wants right now. I have five full-time jobs, four of which are [at] Fortune 500 companies. If I man-age all five for a year, I will make around $1.2 million in 2022. I made $16 an hour in 2016. I’m still struggling [to grasp] the sheer amount of money dumping into my bank account . . . .  I have paid off all my debt already, bought a second house, will have enough money to completely revamp both houses by the end of February, and plan on snowbirding from Florida to West Virginia for the foreseeable future at the ripe age of 35.”

“Just got laid off from J1 [job 1] today and I’m sad as all hell. Not ’cause of the money — I’ve got a J2 and temp for a J3, plus contract for a J4 part time. But this J1 was . . . maybe three hours a week. My craziest week was six hours of work a year ago. What an exhausting time . . . .  Last year I spent two weeks in Cancun, plastered night and day. Boss didn’t even notice. I shit you not, she called me once during the trip and gave me a raise for no reason other than ‘my outstanding hard work.’ God, I’ll miss her.”
