All I can say is I agree with you; however, lots of contracts have you agree that you only work for that company while you're employed by them
Yeah, I think mine has a clause too, that requires me to at least inform my employee
That's the point of the clause; to fire people who tell them they're working a second full-time job. When required to be in office everywhere it becomes quite obvious very quickly. They're upset they can't tell if you're two-timing or not if you work from home, so they want to make sure you come in and work for them
Petty tactics from petty people. If someone is doing the job they are paid for, why bother? It's like the employers are entitled to the 40 hours or something, even if all the work is done.
They aren't if they aren't available because they are working the second job. I question how many people saying this are actually salaried workers who've read their employment agreements.
