  I don’t know what to think about the “overemployment” trend that the pandemic and remote working has ushered in.

  Most contractors seem to have no mutuality of obligation to their clients and I have friends running two and three gigs who claim their clients are happy.

  I’ve had contract engineers who were obviously engaging in the practice though, and it drove me up the wall.

  It just seems so dishonest and at the same time perfectly legal.

  absolutely nothing wrong with working more than one job if you can get away with it. It's not a lifestyle I want to live myself, but more power to anyone who wants or needs to in order to make their livings.
