I have some part time work which I can take in my spare time to earn a Christmas bonus. Is that allowed for a permanent EM employee ?

Answer from OpenAI GPT-3:
“Moonlighting is not permitted at ExxonMobil, except in rare cases that require prior approval from management. Employees must also adhere to the company's conflict of interest policies.”
Yes, of course it’s allowed. Darren moonlights as a CEO, on top of his main job of being a complete and total a$$ho-e!
Can contractors put up Dan’s Christmas lights? 🎅🎄Hope I win the tv this year at the EII Christmas party , more KoolAid in the Atrium……..Alex good luck.
How can someone actually ask this d-mb of a question?
@izr None of that (if it exits) is legally enforceable. Same with non-competes.
There is nothing that any employer in the US can legally do to prevent you from working a second job.
At most, they will terminate your employment. They’re going to do that eventually anyway, so it’s better to have a second income.
@OP Don’t let the negative comments here scare you. Seek out a second job (or a third) and keep it on the DL. There are resources if you know where to look. That’s all I’ll tell you. Good luck.
Just don't tell them about your evening gig sliding down a stripper pole or anyone else's pole, to make extra money.
What did you sign when you join the company? There is usually stuff in there about working full time for ExxonMobil and no one else. Especially if the other employment is a competitor and a conflict of interest,
I’d recommend getting a copy of your agreement and discuss with a lawyer before following any advise on this board.
A research supervisor has been doing this for years in plain sight even while in the office.
Answer the below:
• Are you using company assets? (i.e. laptop, printers, etc)
• Is it during normal business hours?
• Is it work for a competitor or work that could pose a conflict of interest?
If all are “no” then go for it.
BPR says something to the effect of “if it impacts sleep and thusly impacts performance on your EM job” then don’t do it. But I call shenanigans. I have kids and they drain more sleep than a side hustle.
Bpc and standard of business conducts, also your annual disclosure sign off.
There is practically nothing that any employer can legally do to prevent you from working a second job in the US.
Anyone who says otherwise is either uninformed or is trying to discourage you.
Don’t discuss your arrangement with your boss/colleagues at either workplace and stay off social media, LinkedIn included.
You're asking for permission? I'm WFH and doing a little other work during 'office' hours, so little to do in EM now.
Nope. They do not like it. If you do it, not even tell your family about it. You know what I am trying to say!
HA!
Great question OP. It depends on your EM employment situation.
Example:
I rotated (month on - month off) as an engineer (upstream) for the better part of 3 decades. On my days off I held numerous side jobs, outside of EM and non-related to O&G work. It was really great as I was able to significantly increase my yearly income. I did this from 1980 until I retired from EM in 2016.
What I did on my days off was (for the most part) was none of EM's business and I never told them or any co-workers. (There are exceptions like getting a DUI on days off; EM wants to know that depending on your employment position); I stayed out of trouble, kept my head down and enjoyed the enhanced income stream. My side jobs were always invisible to EM and none of their business.
It was a great +35 year run!
So, yes, it can be down depending on your EM employment situation.
Take care and enjoy the ride :))
Go for it. Who the he-l will know unless you tell them.
tell me you did not pay attention to BPR without telling me you did not pay attention to BPR. There's a policy for that, go find it!
