Hypothetically, do you think you should be able to work for, say, Facebook and Snap at the same time? Because that's a good example of what this convention (rule?) is for. There's a lot of company 'property' that you'd be able to transfer between the two, and I think it is their right to ask you not to do that, because it could be damaging to one or both in a variety of ways.

- saxonww 4y agoWho is they? I've never worked for a FAANG, but every place I've worked made it a discretionary thing. I would agree that if the other job was literally "I'd like to flip burgers on the weekend," then the Facebooks of the world should not be able to tell you no, and I guess I'd be surprised if they tried. Working with Burger King as a software developer to build a new social engagement app though, yes. I also think if you're employed by Facebook as a software developer, and you need to work at Burger King to get extra money, then something else is wrong. Of course you should be able to do what you want with your time but... really?
