Sorry for the stupid question...
So I'm WFH at a small software agency. I'm salary, but work for clients where we charge by the hour, so I track my time.
Halfway through my shift I took a ~2 hour break to work on my side project. I had all my employer related stuff in a separate screen. After finishing up I closed all my stuff out and finished work.
Next day at work and I realize oops. Somehow I made a commit message relating to my personal project on a client repo. and it's a bit obvious that it's a side project. and there's no way to remove it since I pushed it to the remote.
So... if they see this, they could probably claim that I was using company time to work on personal projects?
I know people here aren't lawyers, but.. I'm just wondering how fucked I am.
- I never signed any contracts. I just started working and getting paid.
- I track my billable hours. As long as I put in a solid 8 hours of billable time for the client I should be okay?
- I purchased all the equipment with my own money.
- He's said he doesn't mind me working on personal projects. but again. this is all verbal. zero signed contracts.
Any thoughts on this situation? Other than swing shifts obviously aren't a good idea?
