I am self employed, and I work on contracts, project briefs. I work for some clients once a month, some for two weeks at a time. Some clients have returned for more than ten projects over a decade and a half. You shouldn't assume everyone has a fixed employer. There are so many different kinds of work, and there are many many different parts of the world with different rules.I don't understand what you're talking about. Tell me, how many jobs do you work and how many jobs do you take on to avoid burnout? And tell me, how do human rights organizations feel about this? As far as I know, your bosses will receive huge fines for this. I am not allowed to work multiple jobs at once. If they find out that I still have a job, they will fire me immediately.
Ocean is working simultaneously on SG and Wiab. It turns out that in order not to burn out from these games, Ocean still needs to make new games. Does this mean that Ocean will work on 4 games when he burns out? You have me confused.
I have been working on 5 different projects simultaneously for the last month and a half. Buying new software for one gave me a different starting point for another, and inspired me to treat it differently. This isn't confusing at all. The workload though, that is what is a challenge. I don't get exhausted by work, or thinking, I get exhausted by the frustration of not achieving things. And lack of sleep.
The difference between my situation and Ocean's is Ocean has a long term plan for the shared projects. I simply have to make my clients happy, even as they shift their deadlines around and miscommunicate. If work was simple it would be boring for me though I guess...
