Are these company terms good for a programmer or should I move?
- by o_O
Here are some of the terms and conditions set forward by my employer. Does these make sense for a job like programming?
No freelancing in any way even in your free time outside company work
hours (may be okay. May be they wanted
their employees to be fully
concentrating on their full time job.
Also they don't want their employees
to do similar work for a competing
client. Completely rational in that
sense). - So sort of agreed.
Any thing you develop like ideas, design, code etc while I'm employed
there, makes them the owner of that.
Seriously? Don't you think that its
bad (for me)? If I'm to develop
something in my free time (by cutting
down sleep and hard working), outside
the company time and resource, is that
claim rational? I heard that Steve
Wozniak had such a contract while he
was working at HP. But that sort of
hardware design and also those
companies pay well, when compared to
the peanuts I get.
No other kind of works allowed. Means no open source stuffs. Fully
dedicated to being a puppet for the
employer, though the working
environment is sort of okay. According
to my assessment this place would
score a 10/12 in Joel's test.
So are these terms okay especially considering the fact that I'm underpaid with peanuts?
