Moonlighting Policy
I do not believe it is possible for someone to work for two entities at the same time:
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Luke 16:13 KJV
This applies to both spiritual things and also worldly things.
If a staffer is drawing income from another source, especially if that income is substantial, then that is a problem for me – because:
Why should he care about this firm?
- If he makes a mistake in the work – it’s no big deal – he doesn’t suffer a loss in income because he is drawing some from elsewhere. In fact, he will take less care.
- He won’t bother to focus on improving his work, his efficiency at Tek1, because he is getting money elsewhere.
- His energy is divided. It is impossible to run two marathons, with the same energy as if you ran just one.
Using Tek1 licenses for your own private endeavours is DISHONEST, it cheats the firm, it cheats other staff.
Entrepreneurship
If you are capable and skilled at bringing in work – then bring in work FOR THE FIRM.
You will be rewarded for doing so.
But if you do things on the sly – use the firm’s resources to personal gain – then that is a policy that will not serve you well, nor will it serve the rest of the firm well. You must choose: either be hot, or cold. But lukewarm water: I will spit out.
