I suspect both companies are going to be a bit narked that they paid full time rates to someone who was able to do their job part time.
Also interesting that a recruiter sent their CV off, were they looking for a third job??Comment

I've read through all 6 pages (so far) of the MSE thread. To summarise:
* OP has been working 2 full-time jobs. They claim that these don't overlap, i.e. they were doing the work for job B outside the contracted hours for job A.
* OP applied for a new job, agency sent their CV to both current employers. Those employers spoke to each other, they're both unhappy, and they've accused OP of misconduct.
* One (both?) employers has suspended OP, pending a disciplinary hearing.
* OP wants to take sick leave from both (?) jobs on the basis of stress/fatigue. They've asked for the longest time that they can be off sick on full pay.
* Once the sick leave is finished, OP intends to give notice before the disciplinary hearing happens. (Aka "You can't fire me because I quit!")
I have to sympathise with the other people on that forum, who are struggling to get straight answers from the OP, and are questioning whether this is genuine or trolling. If it's genuine, I agree that saying "I'm exhausted from working 2 jobs" isn't the best way to defend yourself when the employers say that this is affecting your performance at work!Comment
