I don't think they have a right to limit the employees' income but they do have a right to demand full time work when they're paying for it.

It's a tricky problem that I don't necessarily have an answer to. My point was that it's misleading to compare people who have to work multiple jobs to survive with people who are making hundreds of thousands at each job.

Example from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29784608:

> As far as the money goes, my math goes like this:

> - 1 job: 250-300K cash, 250-300K equity (at the high end, higher if I moved to management)

> - 4 jobs: My current situation is 225K avg cash (including bonuses) per job, 100K avg equity per job

You can't look at this and say (like the GP comment did) "how about paying employees adequately".
