Moonlighting is a conflict of interest, says IBM to its employees

IBM has asked its employees to refrain from engaging in a second job or gig in any capacity and has declared it as against the company contract

With companies in the IT sector coming up with ways to check whether their employees are engaged in dual employment or not, IBM has sent a message across its workforce declaring that gig work or a second job in any capacity is against the interest of the company, reported Livemint.  

In a note to the employees, Sandip Patel, India and South Asia head of IBM said, "A second job could be full-time part time or contractual in nature but at its core is a failure to comply with employment obligations and a potential conflict of interest with IBM’s interest."
