Do Google/FB have an agreement clause to only work at one job?
Seems like if you didn't agree to be exclusive, you should be able to do this as long as the work is getting done.
- sjg007 6y agoProbably, at the very minimum it is with respect to intellectual property. Of course it wouldn't matter b/c you can be fired for any reason.. but maybe the worker could claim that's not a legal reason to fire them. It would be interesting litigation though if they are exempt salaried workers.
- cletus 6y agoExclusivity is a pretty standard clause on such employement contracts.
- johnward 6y agoThis was has been my experience with other firms like IBM. I remember it being stated in my employment agreement that I needed permission to work a second job. It even limited your open source exposure. Whether it could be legally enforced is a different matter.
- ryandrake 6y agoAnd if not exclusivity, they likely both have the standard anti-moonlighting, broad IP assignment clauses that we have all come to love: "Anything you produce using company equipment or your own equipment, on company time or on your time, belongs to us." All jobs I've had for the past decade come with something like that.
