Exploring the Boundaries of Dual Employment
As a PhD scholar in Corporate Studies, I'm intrigued by the complexities of dual employment. I'd love to spark a discussion on this topic.
Consider this scenario: an individual has engaged in dual employment in the past, with both companies aware of the arrangement and no issues arising. Now, this individual is joining a new company, unrelated to the previous two.
Question: Would the new company be likely to have concerns about the individual's past dual employment, despite its lack of relevance to the new role?
Share your thoughts, experiences, and insights! Let's delve into the nuances of dual employment together.

Interesting scenario...Some companies might see it as a red flag, while others might not care as long as there's no direct impact on their work. Do you think transparency about past dual employment helps or hurts in such cases?

If the new company has strict policies against dual employment, they might question past choices even if it’s not relevant now. But if the previous companies were okay with it, should it really matter?

Dual employment is tricky sometimes it’s seen as a sign of ambition and adaptability, while other times, it raises concerns about commitment. How do different industries view this, in your experience?

The key might be how the new company values exclusivity. Some firms are open to side gigs, while others want 100% focus. Have you come across companies with clear dual employment policies?

As long as the person was transparent and fulfilled their responsibilities, why should it be an issue? But I wonder, would a background check flag this in any way?

Ethically, if both past companies were okay with it, there’s no harm. But in corporate culture, perceptions matter. Would disclosing this proactively be a good idea or a risk?

It really depends on the new employer’s mindset. If they see past dual employment as a lack of loyalty, they might hesitate. But if they value diverse experience, it could be a plus. What’s your take?
