Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

The fact any employee feels like it has the right to what I go after work is insane. This means drugs testing, second jobs, only-fans/ porn or anything similar.
My company has a clause in my contract that says the if I were to develop any software or invent any products while working for the company even if all development work was on my own time, they have rights to it.
I'm positive that that wouldn't actually stand up in court, but it's in the document. It's also in the contract that I can't have a second job which again I don't think they can actually mandate.
Yeah. I know when I worked in research I had something similar about anything created with company property. I know they sued someone who left and tried to sell a version of something they created at work and won.
But I know there was specific language about what was owned when working at your free time
Then why you sign and bitch later? Don't sign it if you don't want it.
It must be so nice living over in Privilegeville.
Nah, do what you preach.
Don't like it, don't sign it.
The cool air of the mountain upon which Privilegeville sits must be laced with something that generates calm smugness.
