That's pretty much my concern. I have thought about approaching them, but we're talking about a huge amount of bureaucracy. I'm sure my managers would be totally cool with it, but my manager's manager's manager wouldn't even have the authority to approve it.
So I'm left debating whether I have anything to worry about in the first place, or whether I should start working through all that bureaucracy.
Thanks guys! Looking forward to any more insight or if anyone else has been through this situation before.
I've heard stories of employers who have told employees shut down your side project or you're fired. I don't mean to be pessimistic, just make sure your project is non-competing and in line with their standards of ethics and values.
Getting a signed piece of paper is probably the best thing you can do, and it's probably possible depending on the company you work for. But you probably need to be careful about the way you approach doing so.
