>Do they have NO claim to that, even if you decide to use it to compete against them? Of course! The whole notion of a company owning every and all, things and thoughts, has to just die off. Everything outside the scope of the specific project is off-limits. Ideas that occur as a result of the work I've done and things I've learned are mine! Ideas that are a part of the work I do are theirs. A Square wheel, inc. tasks me with improvement on their design of Square wheel tech. I do that during my working hours, and I happily work on reducing the friction of the wheel. However, why would Square wheel, inc. have any claim to my novel idea of a vastly superior Round wheel tech that I thought up as I kicked a rock on a road? They didn't pay me to invent a new type of wheel, they asked me to improve their current one. I can choose to tell them the new idea, based on their sense of ethics and morals, i.e. whether I would receive a significant percentage of the proceeds, but the corporation has absolutely no entitlement to anything outside the scope. Well, should not have, since apparently the greedy crooks actually feel that they control everything and everyone and have to have everything.
