Your Employee Has Two Full-Time Jobs? W/Tracy Simek

When remote work took off during the pandemic, so did a risky new trend: people secretly working two full-time jobs at once. In this episode of We’re Not Recording, Melanie Naranjo talks with Tracy Simek, Chief People Officer at Locus Robotics, about why this isn’t just a hustle issue — it’s a trust, culture, and mission issue. Both leaders are clear: side hustles are fine. Entrepreneurship is encouraged. But representing yourself as fully committed to two companies at the same time crosses a line — because it puts company values, team trust, and even confidential information at risk Tracy explains why at a fast-growing, mission-driven company like Locus, no one can build something truly meaningful while splitting their loyalty across multiple employers.
