If you're concerned just don't use the company stuff. If it's your own project, use tools you own.

All while I’m at home and not putting in hours for work.

Why bother risking it? Just do it on your personal laptop, if you want to look something up online, use your phone

Just reading stuff online doesn’t constitute ownership. Now creating a fancy template on your work computer to be used by work clients while you are on the clock? Yes the firm owns that template.

It might depend on type of project too. I remember someone mentioning to me that Deloitte has the right to our creative licenses while employed, basically if I wrote a book while employed they would have a say in if I could try to get it published or possibly right to profits. (I think)

@EY1 it's more so a protection of reputation for the firm and is more common than you think. The firm wants to make sure whatever an employee publishes will not make the firm look bad. Now, they may not necessarily enforce this too harshly. I'm sure if someone wrote a for-fun fiction novel that isn't offensive, the firm won't bat an eye. Similarly, if the published piece is not related to the person's work, say a book on auditing or tax practice, then the firm may consider jumping in for a piece of the profits because they could argue it was the work with the firm that field the published piece. But again, they may not enforce it fully, and just have it for the sake of protection of reputation.

Is it SAFE joining Wipro as technical lead (B3) with 37LPA? Knowing that package is pretty high as compared to collogues in same band. HR is not ready to give project manager(C1) position.

Appreciate your suggestions/input.

Would there be any scope of increment going forward?
