you moonlighting?

because the system isn’t working anymore.

Hey there,

Let me hit you with this: are we truly making work easier for employees, or are we pushing them into moonlighting just to stay afloat?

Economic forecasts say it's looking up. Nearly two-thirds of U.S. employers are planning to hire for permanent roles in the coming months. Things are improving. Or are they?

🌚 The Dark Side of the Moon (Lighting)

Here’s where it gets messy. India’s workforce is at a breaking point—41% are moonlighting, and that number is climbing every day. Why? Because the system isn’t working for them anymore.

Employees are stuck juggling two, three, or even four jobs just to make ends meet. Companies are underpaying, overloading, and somehow expecting loyalty. Here’s the kicker: it’s unsustainable, and everybody knows it.

Big names in the startup world can’t keep up with the pay expectations of top talent, and meanwhile, workers are forced to hustle just to make the bills.

Here’s what you can do:

📃 Fine, I Quit

Now, let’s add fuel to the fire: remote work. Think it’s settled? Think again.

Management is pulling their employees back into the office, and it's starting to feel like a power play. A Randstad survey showed 52% of white-collar workers see remote work as a fundamental right. And guess what? They’re willing to quit over it.

Companies like JP Morgan are doubling down, telling their employees to report back to the office five days a week—no exceptions.

What’s the real reason behind all this? Why are companies pulling the strings on flexibility? Simple: control. They’re pushing for collaboration, innovation, and oversight.

There’s only one way out—nail employee engagement before it's too late.
