[REQUEST] Evening Hours Only MSP

[16bwhitt]

Depends on your employment contract. If I'm contracting you for work, I'm being billed by the hour. There is no multitasking, you sold me that hour. It's mine, not yours. BUT, if your contract allows otherwise, go for it. It's called ethics, and yeah I assume people don't have them because they mostly don't.

Slow down there, tiger. We are all amigos here. You mentioned “contracting” which by law means one can work as one pleases. Which means, if one chooses to multitask, one may do so. If one works on your project for 30 minutes, takes a 15 minute Facebook break, and come back, one still has another half hour before you’re billed the whole hour.

If I was that employer, I'd consider that theft and you'd be fired before you could realize the mistake. I'd then follow up with a law suit demanding payment for use of my equipment for purposes beyond my own.

I’d hate to be your employee! Imagine if I was googling something to figure out how to do something for your task, you thought I was shopping for shoes, and all of a sudden I’m fired and summoned for a lawsuit. Then I’d OWN your company by the time I was done with you.

Well a lot of people enjoy assuming things from others. Laws are different around here. If there was a problem with doing 10-15 minutes of work 1-2 times a month remotely, then someone has a stick up their ass. I'm on no contract whatsoever. I excel in my work and I've never been questioned for the 7 years I've been working here. I have strong ethics and I'll only do remote if absolutely necessary and for businesses only. Which I manage a whopping 4 retail locations.

If your employers are happy, who cares? That's usually how it works. But down here in the states people can sue over anything, and often will. Which is why all this boils down to that employment contract. What sort of expectations are set?

Also, people are assuming hostility here where none exists. But I do find the odd support of this thread strange. This thread is about taking Pizza tech to MSP level.

People do sue for anything and everything, but thankfully many judges see them as frivolous and throw the cases out.

Guys, can we keep the thread on track please. It is derailing all over the place, and I will not stand for any personal attacks.

Thank you.
