I& #39;ve just negotiated a new employment contract, one clause was "can not work for $ without permission".

I amended it to be "..work for competitors for $"

That& #39;s fair.

As I can do whatever the fk I want for $ outside of hours. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💃" title="Woman dancing" aria-label="Emoji: Woman dancing">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🗣️" title="Silhouette eines sprechenden Kopfes" aria-label="Emoji: Silhouette eines sprechenden Kopfes">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👩‍💻" title="Woman technologist" aria-label="Emoji: Woman technologist">

It& #39;s a common clause, check yours & https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔪" title="Küchenmesser" aria-label="Emoji: Küchenmesser"> it. https://twitter.com/csallen/status/1331367429843214338">https://twitter.com/csallen/s...
I really like the "you& #39;re a business" thinking when it comes to your salaried job. Every business I deal with has contracts that protect them, that say the obvious things and covers the edge cases.

Managers leave, memories fade, it& #39;s not about company& #39;s having bad intentions.
I also had a Remote Working and Flexible Work clause added.

Points we agreed on during the interview process but weren& #39;t reflected in the standard HR contract.

I had the way I can spend my training budget added as a clause. Empowers me to actually spend it as it& #39;s very clear!
I had it updated to reflect my Compressed Fortnight arrangement, so rather than saying "40 hours a week" it says "80 hours a fortnight" and other details to ensure that is my way of working.

It& #39;s in my contract, not a policy that can be pulled without my agreement.
This org is great & my manager is super positive about everything, it& #39;s not a reflection on individuals or org, I don& #39;t even work there yet!

But I& #39;m a business, so my contract is airtight. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔒" title="Schloss" aria-label="Emoji: Schloss">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💪" title="Angespannter Bizeps" aria-label="Emoji: Angespannter Bizeps">

HR Contracts can be personalised, don& #39;t accept it if it doesn& #39;t make sense for you!
