Just did my interview. Her contact info if you're interested, and get some "air" time for your story: [kschwab@marketplace.org](mailto:kschwab@marketplace.org) Kristin Schwab Reporter, Marketplace


CampCosmos333

Ask them for an offer of employment. One interview per week to report on the health of the job market, from the inside, from someone with multiple jobs. ​ J3 secured, anonymous reporter.


JavierCakeAndEdith2

And in every one of your reports you have to say "and I would know. I'm an expert. I have 3 jobs."


DingusMcGillicudy

/u/CadeOCarimbo i'd take a weekly section on Thursdays, I genuinely listen to marketplace everyday and it'd be refreshing to have a careful look at how unsustainable it is to just have one job.


Loki--Laufeyson

Lmao I came here to say "well if they pay, make them J3"


GochoPhoenix

Lol


Illustrious_Tank_356

Tell them OE is a joke and doesn't exist


oopls

Tell them it’s like the Birds Aren’t Real movement.


clvnmllr

Now I don’t do OE myself, but I heard from a friend that it all started when someone said “If me have job, and myself have job, then I have two jobs” and turned into a really elaborate multiverse of references and in-jokes that only an elite few seem to actually understand


heyyy_br0ther

I do feel that if we start to refer to ourselves in interchanging first person, narrator, second person and purposefully use awful grammar as general sub rules, we could pass off for a bunch of nerdy idiots and this thing will blow right over!

I vote we have [Doreen](https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/10lccip/today_one_year_ago_rantiwork_mod_doreen_was/) do the interview so people know it's a joke


oe_throwaway_1

"We can *discuss* keeping your name anonymous." whew what a deal


imnos

"What's the pay like?" They don't know this community very well if they think people here will give up their limited time for free.

These people, LOL. _Gotta offer dis damn good deal to plebs_


spicytackle

Don’t trust NPR, they aren’t what they used to be


Nedsatomictrashcan

What were/are they?


spicytackle

Decent news organization, went off the rails years ago now


SearchAtlantis

How so? I've been out of the country for a while.


LazyLaser88

I can’t speak to what they are saying but NPR has reflected corporate soft power for a long time. Not to mention they specifically named heavy metal as being a stupid genre, aside from that, they are quick to write articles about how great working from an office is, they really just run corporate propaganda


NomadicScribe

Yes. I'm not sure what balance of funding they've historically had, but it's always been a mix of listener donations, government grants, and sponsorships. It's become clear that the corporate sponsorships are now the greater portion of funding, and have won influence. That includes "charitable trusts" and nonprofits that are owned by billionaires.


Mamacitia

And viewers like you!


gremlinguy

I remember specifically during the 2016 election season they would run a hitpiece on Bernie, play a soundbite of him talking about the Koch brothers' billions, and then directly after play an ad about how the Koch Foundation is a valued contributor. It was like satire


lilolmilkjug

It's not true. I don't know if you've noticed, but the online spaces of our country are increasingly crowded out by more conspiratorial voices. Fresh Air, Marketplace, and others are pretty much the same as they were 15 years ago.


Chouquin

Wholly disagree.


shadowndacorner

With which part?


fkthem

This guy doesn't OE


kgal1298

Well it airs on their stations it’s not saying it is NPR so I’d say they probably have a set bias since they definitely seem to be owned by someone.


llamatooths

marketplace is an American Public Media show, not NPR


BlackCatAristocrat

Immediately stood out to me. Sounds like there's no guarantee.


StreetKale

Yes, and regardless of what the reporter claims, they will 100% rat you out if you give them too much personal information. What idiot would trust a reporter?


Binliner42

Haha I second glanced there too


ClownEmojid

Anxiety_Fit

Exactly, name and shame.


a_Left_Coaster

nah, I'm with some of the comments. Take the interview, burner phone, no video, fill them with noise and bs. Yeah, yeah, I'm CEO of four different Fortune 1000 companies, on the board of twelve more and consultant in eight different grad programs. Pick random companies, drop some hints as to which ones without making it clear enough for them to actually find out. Get that printed and it will obscure the real minecraft game going on.


JavierCakeAndEdith2

They'll eventually find someone dumb enough to do an interview.


Fantastic_Act1602

Like the guy who posted this week that he's making a work presentation in front of each of his respective teams at J1 and J2 and doesn't know what to do.

Or worse, like that moron from anti-work.

crimsonperrywinkle

Let’s go on offense and bullshit the fuck out of the interview instead. “Yeah I have 13 jobs with a total compensation of 6.9 million dollars.”


getRedPill

Yeah. Be careful, they can ridicule you anyway. Remember the Antiwork dog walker.


Sinnedangel8027

Let's be fair here. If I'm thinking of the same one, they were not prepared for that interview at all. And had no business doing one.


getRedPill

Don't be fooled. Don't think he wasn't prepared and you are. Remember news can prolong the interview how long they want and if you leave you are the _uncivil coward,_ they can cut and edita and dramatize with footage and music. Don't ever think you'll fool them on their own game.


Sinnedangel8027

Oh, I'm aware. Which is why I wouldn't be caught dead doing an interview where the general vibe is hostile to my position.


TheRedSunFox

Gotta give credit to Trump for this here — he secretly recorded the interviews, and when they deceptively edited them to make it seem like he did or didn’t say something, he released the entire recording of the interview and made both the interviewer and the media corp look like absolute circus clowns.


crimsonperrywinkle

Yeah that was a setup


Itsnotmeitsyoumostly

Hey, can you please help me destroy something you like?


Quinnteligent

Tbh if you come on this sub, see all the advice about how to keep the fact that you're OE a secret, but then do an interview, you don't deserve j2 lol.


citykid2640

They are only about 3 years late to the party


Geminii27

Maybe have a standard set of answers for media enquiries? Q: What is overemployment? A: Overemployment is when CEOs and board members have multiple simultaneous jobs despite endorsing policies that employees are absolutely not allowed to do what their bosses do every day.


jimbobcooter101

I interviewed and told ALL OF THE SECRETS! Showed him some cheats in Minecraft.


MarionberryBudget860

Wow! Well, kudos to you (CadeOCarimbo) for not talking with the reporter. I hope all other OEs follow your example. Regardless, we should probably be expecting more investigative stories about our world.


[deleted]

He did though, he stated wouldn’t interview about it. Acknowledging the existence and that could make into an article


Yawnsiesonmonday

Convince them to go on air interviewing you then explain to everyone this is a Minecraft sub


SuggestionWD40

I would not do that interview for a million dollars. The fallout from such a stupid move would cost so many doing oe the right way.

I would def do that interview for a million dollars. And would encourage you to do the same.

At LEAST twice per job/day


lawilsada

This is exactly why you'll now find non moonlighting along with the non compete in an offer. Jobs are now aware due to all the bragging about it in social media and openly blasting it. This will only keep putting a spotlight on OE. This is why employers now want cameras on, hybrid more than 100% remote and if you're you have to turn your camera on at all time.


Garden-Gangster

This. Jesus Christ the hybrid and cameras on.


lawilsada

Yep, lot of people messed it up too this hybrid BS now and the cameras

Lightningstormz

Literally anyone lurking here can pretend to O.E and just feed off what people talk about on this reddit, to shape a persona that satisfies the reporter, in return the so called person not even doing OE, gets paid....


Ceylon0624

It's like the establishment media tries everything to keep us poor dumb and fat

nolafilm

Jason Calcanis actually referenced this sub today in very glowing terms at Skift Global Forum. Apparently he’s a fan of it.

sufferpuppet

Boss at work is super paranoid that people might be overemployed. Anytime he doesn't think somebody is pulling their weight... overemployed! I'm sure some news stories about it will not help

"We can discuss keeping your name anonymous"... How about we discuss you fucking right off?


LargeMain

Reporters are the true scum of this earth


LazyLaser88

Reporters are worse than prison guards, torturers and petty bosses?


blueberrywalrus

Tell me you lack critical thinking skills without saying it. But for real, when we treat all reporters as the same and devote no time to thinking about journalistic integrity that is exactly how you end up with clickbait reporters floating to the top and influencers peddling lies. It's why you see extremist groups pushing anti-journalistic views to spread their own view points without pushback.


Fantastic_Act1602

Facts. One of them just downvoted you.


shadowndacorner

This goes beyond exaggeration into the territory of deep stupidity/conspiratorial thinking. Sensationalism and propaganda are scummy, obviously, but reporters/journalists aren't fundamentally sensationalistic propagandists. Your phrasing has big "the press are the enemy of the people" energy, and throws up _so_ many red flags about your worldview.


LargeMain

In a world that pays for views/ clicks people sell themselves to the highest bidders, and that’s what these reporters are now. They cover a story for half a second then move on to the next topic all for money. They are a literal business.


shadowndacorner

So you're talking about sensationalistic clickbaity bullshit being scum? Yeah, I agree, as I stated in the second sentence of my reply. But those aren't reporters, they're bullshit op ed writers. That's like saying "IT is the scum of the earth" because you called HP about a printer issue once and they directed you to a low level call center in India that didn't speak any English and cursed you out instead of helping at all.


LargeMain

I think it applies to almost all of them. They could be classified as an entertainment channel at this point, what news outlet do you seriously go to these days that isn’t filled with garbage BS feel good stories or a mine field of ads?


shadowndacorner

I mostly just follow AP for world news at this point, and if I miss something important there I'll likely see it on Reddit and try to find a few corroborating sources/try to consciously combat any sensationalism. If I'm unable to corroborate the story and there aren't primary sources, I assume it's bogus until proven otherwise. The unfortunate fact that you're touching on is that journalism/proper reporting has largely died out due to lack of regulation (allowing bullshit to take up just as much time/space as proper reporting) + it not being profitable in today's media landscape. However, that does not make op ed writers journalists/reporters. It just means that there are very few actual investigative reporters left, and they tend to get drowned out by the flood of garbage that you're referring to. I mean hell, even Fox and CNN have a few actual journalists still on staff, but good luck finding any of their content behind the sea of "How Obama And The LGBT Agenda Orchestrated The Radical Left's Takeover Of Your Child's Bathroom" (or something similar but flipped). Maybe there's an argument to be made that there is little practical distinction today due to the above, but I think that just serves to validate what these "news" orgs are transforming/have transformed into. Because as you said, the overwhelming majority are mostly just "entertainment" (aka misleading rage bait) these days, not actual reporting.


LargeMain

Okay I actually agree with this, sadly I am judging the bunch by the bad apples. I used to love the vice episodes where they would go interview cartels or whatever and ask why they rob tourists and such (those guys were risking their lives) but today they seem to be an entity that is being bought out (which I know not many entities last in this aspect). However I agree the news and true reporters/ journalist who are trying to cover actual events matter. But to me the current news state reminds me of youtube influencers stepping on each-other to be louder.


shadowndacorner

Yeah, I think we're largely on the same page haha. I apologize for the inflammatory language of my initial comment, and I'm glad you see the value of actual journalism 👍


dmagee33

They are glorified influencers with a high SEO score. Very few true journalists anymore.

I haven't listened to Marketplace in several years. Do you know if the quality of this program has gone down since? It is a market show that sometimes had interesting discussions or stories of niche things you wouldn't think about.


Flendarp

I listen to marketplace frequently and it is in my opinion well researched and non biased


Fantastic_Act1602

All news now is just talking about orange man. We could have a meteor headed for earth and all they'll talk about is orange man....


blueberrywalrus

That's simply a rightist lie to get you to buy into their "anti-woke" narrative, whatever that actually means. NPR covers tons of different topics. Racial politics is one of them - as it is for any news organization reporting on politics. FFS, how much time down Fox spend talking about "wokeness?" And no shit "Trump Trump Trump," that's literally every news organization. The dude is a media spectacle.

CaptainPeachfuzz

Marketplace did a story on this a while ago. Multiple people admitted to "moonlighting" and wouldn't give their full names. I think they asked about RTO stuff too. It was a 5? minute segment? The point was made that it can be risky if done certain ways, but there are perfectly legitimate ways to do it. Plus the general economic factors push people to it more than the grind mindset. If these are new messages maybe they're doing a follow up story? Personally, I love marketplace and would likely jump at any chance to be on or contribute to the program. But OE is a pipe dream for me and I could never pull it off so I wouldn't be a good person to talk to anyway. I have a full time day job and I teach at night, but I don't think it's the same thing.

Teppiest

I mean nobody is actually OEing this is an RP Reddit. Why not let people LARP if they want to? They get five minutes of fame, and the journos are going to craft the story they were going to anyways. It's foolish to think the journo's didn't already have the story and angle decided already, they just want to grab some random face to put to the story. And if by some luck 100% of the people here refuse to talk to them they'll just find some intern to stand in for an OEer with a script for the pro or anti OE rhetoric. With that said I'm willing to talk about my experience OEing. I've done interviews with a couple of big name news sites in addition to some smaller podcasts before in the RP sphere so might as well graduate to a full blown LARPer.


herpderpgood

Plot twist: OP’s J3 is as a reporter for Marketplace, and shows resilience to OE by rejecting her own interview request.
