| Jul 18, 2018 at 12:51 | comment | added | Procrastinating Programmer | @DarkCygnus For the moment I'm just going to tell him I am working part time on Saturdays. The bank is OK with Saturdays for now. After a couple of months I may bring the Friday afternoon thing. Working on Saturdays shouldnt be a problem right? Saturdays are off for us | |

The interpretation of what is "conflict of interest" is up to the manager and the parts involved now... IANAL but I'd guess there was no obvious conflict based on the question. Still, would be wise to check with legal counsel. | |

But in general, a manager's job is to make the most of his employees - so you have to prove that you getting this special treatment will increase productivity or provide some other benefit. You do know your manager, though. Also, most solutions will decompose to "talk to your manager about the problem. Possibly get reprimanded for working extra job." | |

| Jul 16, 2018 at 17:47 | comment | added | DarkCygnus♦ | can't you remote work on the bank? @AlexT given your comments, it seems that first you have to disclose to him you have this second job, before even considering asking for half Fridays off... if you just straight come up to him and ask for that he will surely not like it and be surprised to say the least... | |
| Jul 16, 2018 at 17:45 | comment | added | Procrastinating Programmer | The problem is .. the bank and the company are 50 kms from each other. I cant drive that much every day. I would happily work the ten hours on Saturday, but bank is open only six hours. I dont mind being not paid for the half day. I would say it is fair. But HOW DO I CONVINCE HIM? | |
