> In late January I decided to help an elderly friend with a data migration at home. He had just bought a new iMac and needed to transfer the data from his old one to his new one. Apple offers free data transfers, but my friend didn’t want to leave both of his machines with Apple for 3 to 5 days in order for them to do it. About 2 weeks later I was approached by my boss. Someone told him that I had helped a friend with his computer. I told him that yes I had in fact helped a friend with a data transfer (something Apple does for free) and that I had helped him on my own time.
The following is a fiction that is also the same story as above:
In late January an elderly gentleman, whom I'd helped many times during my long tenure at the Apple Store, came in to buy a new iMac. As I was ringing up his purchase, he inquired about how to migrate his data. I informed him that Apple would be happy to do it for free but it would take 3 to 5 business days, I then offered to come by his house and perform the migration for a modest fee. A few weeks later the elderly gentleman came into the Apple Store asking for me because he was having issues locating some of his files, he spoke with my manager and explained the situation. Later my manager approached me about the issue, I confirmed that I had been moonlighting and had solicited my services while on the clock at the Apple Store.
