No excuse to not have a junior dev completely busy, but there's also no excuse to go working on your personal competing consulting service while on your employer's payroll.
TBH, he's probably lucky that he only got fired, and didn't end up with a lawsuit on his hands, too. (Had he actually taken clients, I suspect he would have.)
- x5n1 11y agomeh. you're a startup you want to waste your precious time taking a punk kid to task over consulting? you only waste time with shit like this if it's personal. and in that case you have already lost.
- omouse 11y agoIndeed, he shouldn't be doing consulting, he should be learning everything he needs to be able to do the consulting after hours. If an employer doesn't train you, you should train yourself. I've been tempted more than a few times to take vacation days and line up another gig for the week that I'm off. Double the pay for doing normal work hours?
