In a leaked memo, Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke put limits on employees having side hustles, saying Shopify requires ‘unshared attention’::Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke discourages employees from side hustles in company memo, saying their jobs require their undivided attention.
Yeah you’re not understanding the hypothetical at all.
If I hire you to do a job, and outside of working hours for me, you’re actively working against me, you’re fucking fired out of a cannon.
Thing is it’s never that black and white. Every business does somethings better than it’s competitors, otherwise one of them would have already gone under. It’s people that work at both that brimg both businesses forward.
Why do you think big tech big tech companies call as soon as you leave another big tech company?
We’re talking about working simultaneously for direct competitors. You don’t do that. You get rightfully fired from whichever company you’re stabbing in the back. It’s a conflict of interest, period.
Freelance or contractors hired only for a specific project does not apply.
Big words for a little guy who’s not currently paying me.
Are you daft? Seriously.
It’s a hypothetical, and it’s describing clear CONFLICT OF INTEREST, not a fucking iamverybadass comment.
If I started Big Ass data ANALysis and hired you design an analytics suite to sell access to businesses, and it’s way better than direct competitor’s Tiny Data Intelligence Computing’s product, and you start working directly for Tiny DIC coding their product package, that’s a conflict of interest and you WILL be fired. It’s fucking simple.
Sounds like you are very badass.
