Work friend protests when 20-year-old coworker requests she stops hosting office get togethers at restaurant where she has a second job: 'She said that I should just quit'

Whether you have a genuine struggle to make ends meet or you are just hoping to save a little extra cash, there are numerous legitimate reasons to have more than one job. So long as you are not overextending yourself, there is nothing wrong with hard work and ultimately, it is a position that most people will respect. It isn't easy juggling multiple types of jobs at the same time, and it shows a specific skill set that not everybody has.

However, one of the issues that can arise with having multiple careers is how your coworkers at each job might react to knowing how you make your living. Despite the work involved, not everyone respects the idea of having a side gig or similar. Some judge it as the behavior of people that they look down upon, even though that is usually an unfair assessment. There is no pleasing everybody with this lifestyle.

This is something that one young woman found herself struggling with recently after her friend and coworker at her primary office job started causing issues for her at her weekend gig serving at a restaurant. The friend was an assistant to their boss, and repeatedly decided to book work socials at the restaurant on the nights that the woman was working. Finding it awkward, she asked her coworker to stop, but she refused. It left her pondering if she was being too sensitive.
