With the onset of remote and hybrid work, the practice of moonlighting has come into focus again. Moonlighting is when employees have a second job in addition to a regular job. Hybrid workers are using time saved from the commute to work and idle time left over from finished assignment to work a second or third job. According to a October 2021 survey conducted by Resume Builder, 7 in 10 remote workers have multiple jobs. And, three fourths of workers with multiple jobs are also running a side business. One remote worker reported having five jobs and using his little sister to help him maintain... Continue Reading

Work from home, remote workers, and those of us working in a hybrid work model often make the mistake of foregoing holiday paid time off.  This time is usually needed to disconnect from work and enjoy holiday celebrations with family and friends. A recent FinanceBuzz survey found that 61% of workers feel that as long as they are making more money they are willing to work through the holidays.  The money might be good, but what about work-life balance?  Employers have become accustomed to employees giving up their time, so in some industries employees are expected to complete work assignments... Continue Reading

In today’s economy, most seniors are doing whatever it takes to make ends meet on fixed or reduced incomes. This includes re-entering the workforce or continuing to work well past the age of 65. This begs the question: I’m Medicare eligible, but still working: What happens now? Many may believe that you can’t enroll in a Medicare plan if you’re still working at or past the age of 65.

To the Hybrid Boomer – I appreciate your support. What would the return to work look like after the COVID pandemic restrictions were lifted?  What was initially thought of as a hybrid work model has looked more like a remote arrangement.  Now companies are going back to further define the return as a flexible work model that combines in-office, remote, and anywhere options for employees.  Employees can choose to work wherever they are most productive, but usually with a requirement to come on-site one or two days a week.  The transition to the original... Continue Reading

To the Hybrid Boomer – I appreciate your support. Hybrid work is an experience!  But what about hybrid work and productivity? Are we more productive on work from home days? A Hybrid work model is a mode of work that supports employees working from wherever they are.  It can be a combination of onsite work at a company office or facility and work-from-home or other remote location.  With hybrid work employees can switch between the two by working one or more days at either location.  Employees argue that they are more productive while working away... Continue Reading

To the Hybrid Boomer – your support is appreciated There are a number of pain management products available in the market today. But did you know that medical marijuana is said to be the most effective?

You will sometimes hear medical marijuana referred to as medical cannibas because it is derived from the Cannabis sativa plant. In addition to severe and chronic pain, studies report that medical cannibas has... Continue Reading

To the Hybrid Boomer – your support is appreciated Before transitioning to working from home, there were nights when I experienced insomnia. It was mostly attributed to job related stress. Now that I am home for work and no longer having to deal with commuting, being around people all day, etc., there should be no stress, right? That is the perception anyway! Not so. On the job stress when working from home is real, too. After hours of video conferences, sometimes back-to-back, and the isolation from face-to-face interactions with people, there are times when I... Continue Reading

Now that the vaccines to help control the spread of COVID-19 are widely available, the mask mandates in most states have been lifted. Companies are now presenting a case for hybrid work and calling for workers who were sent home to come back. Many of us are appreciative that our employers have found a way to make working from home or a remote location permanent, but not everyone feel that way. Take the employees at Apple who wrote an... Continue Reading

To the Hybrid Boomer – your support is appreciated Check out the Hybrid Boomer on the Feedspot Top 100 Baby Boomer Blogs Now that the pandemic is supposedly over, more and more companies are demanding an end to work-from-home and hybrid work setups. I read an article in Fortune where a law firm in the United Kingdom told their lawyers that they could continue to work from home two or three days a week or even 100%. Nothing unusual nowadays, right? Well get this! The lawyers will have to take a 20% cut in pay to take advantage of the offer. The company’s justification... Continue Reading
