OK, that's good to hear. But now I need suggestions and feedback...
In a previous thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24220858 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24220858 I've suggested the following:
13.8. $COMPANY and any Group Company will not attempt to claim copyright, intellectual property rights, nor patent right to any creation done outside of working hours (also known as employees free time), outside of the premises, and not using any $COMPANY facilities, as long as any such creation does not relate to the employees current responsibilities, and as long as it does not directly compete with $COMPANY business model and business activities.
13.9. As long as you do not go against clause 13.8, you are not obligated to disclose to us your creations.
But this is just my wishful thinking of mine that nobody replied to... and not something that I've actually managed to get written and signed. What I'd like to see is a concrete example of such a clause in a real, existing, signed by both parties, actual contract.
- wdb 5y agoGot to watch out with this one. My past experience is that even approving a PR on the company Wifi internet caused a lot of discussion regarding the use of company facilities
- _odey 5y agoCompany WiFi falls under their "equipment"/"facilities" as far as I'm concerned and it's fair for the company to be upset about you using it for your personal benefit in my opinion.
- wdb 5y agoIndeed, sometimes you forgot you are connected to work Wifi on your phone :) Since then I don't install any work stuff on my phone anymore
