Working mulitiple remote jobs. I've never been 100% utilized, haven't been in 10 years. So I took on another job. I work more than one job remote in an 8 hour day. Two times the income, and I'm generally more busy, but still not 100%. Sure there are busy time but they rarely coincide.

How would your employers feel about that arrangement?

That’s a can of worms. Basically employees are traditionally measured by the amount of time they are confined multipled by a factor representing their relative worth. Such an arrangement encourages slacking off of course, so the typical 40h wotker might do 20h of real work but if they went home early every day eyebrows will be raised so they need to be present the whole day. But what happens when working remote? There are no appearances to keep up and so it’s probably cool to do 20h as long as you are typically getting through enough work. And if you can take on 2 of those, why not? why should amazon have so many customers rather than just serve me? Well amazon don’t lie about it whereas in the work situation you might need to, and therein lies the rub.

It's all fun and games until you accidentally forward that important email to the wrong manager.

[huehehue]

This sounds pointed. As long as they're adhering to the terms of the employment agreement and producing good work, I don't see why the employer would care.

That was the first question that came to my mind as well, since I think all of my working contracts have stipulated that I was expected to work exclusively for the company I signed with. See, many went as far as pretending i could not even work for another IT company even after the contract ended, as you certainty all have experienced as well.

Unless OP is freelancing of course, but he did not sound like he is.
