I agree it can be pretty destructive in a small company, but what about big businesses? They're inefficient anyway, so the lost productivity is not such a big deal over there. Is it morally acceptable to freeload, but only in big businesses?
- tom_rath 18y agoI don't think it's morally acceptable to freeload, but for big businesses the point is likely moot: The IP agreement they will have had you sign at the start of your job will take away all rights to your on-your-own-time product in any case.
- staunch 18y agoJust because you've signed an IP agreement doesn't mean it's legally enforceable.
- poppysan 18y agoThat's if you're free loading. If your work standard never takes a drop, then there should be no problem.
- mightybyte 18y agoThe interesting philosophical issue I find is what if you can freeload and your work doesn't take a drop. Or more provocatively, what if you freeload and your work productivity increases? In this case, it's likely that your abilities could be managed better to more fully extract your potential. Unfortunately this is impossible (or very difficult) for most companies to do.
