Will moonlighting get me fired?

[Leros]

They're super generous by the way

my price for a 13" macbook pro 1127 the unwashed masses 1199

Wow, that's terrible. I've gotten larger discounts at Apple while working for another company.

Folks, keep in mind...the OP is a thief...he stole his roommate's ice cream.

I'm not sure he can be trusted in the revered Apple Shrine.

He also tries to shortchange CL sellers by showing up with less money than the agreed upon price when they meet for the exchange.

He's a cheap, low life bastard.

I necroed the ice cream thread, HACP you aint so bright are you?

Chances are it would be considered a conflict of interest. Personally I always found that to be BS, since a company should not be able to control what you do on your own time, but nothing you can do about it. Most jobs have such clause, read the fine print. I'd check with your company first to see if they have issues or not and go from there.

There's lot of money making projects I'd like to start on, but most if all are a conflict of interest, so I've been reluctant to work on them. What I probably need to do is make them all release worthy and they'd just act as a backup in case I ever lose my job.

WHY?

Well very simple, to get some spending cash! In today's economy, no amount saved is enough. That's why I would enjoy that extra cash for things like snacks, music, movies, etc.

In my department years ago or Telecom guy started delivering pizzas as a side job after work. He said it was easy cash in tips and since he was single and the schedule was really flexible. Then he got one of the desktop support guys also a job delivering pizza. The first night they where delivering pizzas together they delivered pizza to a HR person's house. The next day day since she knew me, she called me and asked me that she had a strange experience last night that two IT people delivered pizza to her house. I told her I had no comment on the matter. They never got fired for it and continued delivering pizzas after hours. It is better to see what the policy is for moonlighting. Seriously if you are off the clock it should be none of their business what you are doing. If there is no policy then ask your boss or HR what the policy is. When I worked for my homeowners association as security there was a security guard that somehow managed to swing working for two homeowners associations as security and sometimes at the same time. There was a lot of time that we where not closely tracked and he would go over and clock in at one job. He would then disappear and then clock in at the other job and bounce back and forth between the two club houses. This went on for several months before he got caught.

thats pretty funny if a dude was collecting pay for two jobs at once. it reminds me of a situation they had in san jose. the cops there would take on security jobs while on duty/on the clock for the city so they were getting paid to say, guard a private warehouse while on their shift. what crooks cops are

lol

Get a part time job to pay for snacks...

 

[JTsyo]

woohoo...6.0% discount! :hmm: Not TOO generous.

ftfy

Yes, that's what I'm worried about. It might spiral out of control and become a bigger deal than it is. Another way to potentially make some spending cash is to pick up a girlfriend and make her pay half rent. But that might end up losing me money if I'm not careful as well. D:

Better safe than sorry man. That can really blow up your spot at a time like this.

A dude my dad used to work with set up a cot in a closet at the plant. He'd clock in for the night shift, sleep in the closet for the entire shift and then go to work at his other job during the day.

It really depends on the company and policies. As long as it's not a competitor or compromising your work obligations, most don't care. My only suggestion is don't let the second job burn you out or you may be out of the full time gig.
