Re: Side jobs

Would you feel the same way if that same person, instead of getting paid,
spent 20 minutes developing a little test program to help out a fellow on
this list?  Hopefully not, but I'll grant you - this is going tangential.

Gary,

I'm with you on this one.  I am an employer and can state that what an
employee
does on their own time is none of my business!

Depending on where you live, employment agreements that restrict ones
ability to
apply their trade are not only unenforceable, but illegal.

Now, if said employee used company assets, auto, cell phone, lap top,
programs,
to perform their extra curricular activities I'd fire them and sue their
ass
off.

Once we agree to this, we can get along just fine and go to work.
