The only thing that scares me is the IP factor if I work on stuff after work.
From what I am hearing, if I am not in Cali, I am at risk even if I don't use company time/equipment?
Amazon pretty much doubles salaries in areas outside of California, so it's extremely appealing money-wise if you stick around for the vest.
- C1sc0cat 7y agoWhy its a given for professional tech jobs in the UK.
- ohaideredevs 7y agoThat's really depressing. Genuinely. If a candidate made a platform of protecting worker IP (created on their own time), I would vote for that candidate based on that alone.
- walshemj 7y agoYou would have to completely rewrite employment law - there are better achievable things to work for (banning abusive non competes, an all non competes for all workers paid under 75% of the median salary) and I say that as an Activist.
- lawnchair_larry 7y agoNo, this is a common misconception.
- ohaideredevs 7y agoWhat specifically?
- lawnchair_larry 7y agoNo company is ever entitled to work you do on your own time without using company resources, although it might get messy if said work directly competes with the company.
- daxelrod 7y agoThis is a very broad assertion about laws that may differ from state to state. It gets even more complicated when you try to answer what "on your own time" means for a salaried worker, and when you consider the broad IP agreements that many companies give to their employees. Could you point me to where I could read more, please? This doesn't match my current understanding, and it's a topic of interest for me. Thanks!
