Driving Uber- has anyone got approval to do so or just do it? Thoughts on making a little extra on the side?

Lol wouldnt we all rather drive uber than spend time doing PRD?

I would honestly just go for it without seeking prior approval because... 1. There's no obvious conflict of interest, unless your client now is Uber or one of its competitors. 2. Uber's employment model has you working as an independent contractor and drivers technically aren't considered 'employees' within their contract. So in that sense it's technically not outside 'employment'.

PRD= Practice development (white papers and the like) work

I think at K we have to get formal approval on any outside employment like this. Might be weird to ask, but also might make them realize they are apparently not paying you enough.

Most external employment requires pre approval. Many ignore this requirement. Asking for approval for Uber will not put you in a good light with leadership.

What’s PRD?

I don’t think so they might not allow and you would land up getting more PRD work.
But I agree with you. No matter how much one gets paid. A little extra is always better.

A1, it's still employment, just self employment to be a contractor. The firm would disagree that there's a difference.

The imposter syndrome is finally gone!

Hi everyone🙂

This is my first time posting on this app. I see here working professionals from almost all the big companies, so I would be really grateful if someone could help in switching from my current company.
I joined SoftwareONE as a fresher and it has been 2.4 years working here. I would be suitable for profiles like procurement Specialist, vendor management, customer portfolio management, operations and end to end customer account management (i.e. from RFQs to invoicing)

Thank you
