I used to do this at IBM on a regular basis. "Hey manager, I'm working on a Twitter mashup for the Super Bowl. Pretty sure you guys aren't interested. Can I get that in writing?" It was never a problem in that respect. (in California and IANAL)
- wushupork 17y agoI dunno. I tried to do this at another big 4 consulting firm and basically got the runaround. Nobody wants to put that in writing because if your stuff does happen to take off, nobody wants to be the patsy who let that get away. Basically I lost 6 months of time because they stalled. In the end I didn't get anything in writing. My immediate managers just told me that it's a don't ask don't tell and not bother wasting your time.
