IBM speaks up on moonlighting after Infosys, Wipro, other tech giants warn employees; says this on second jobs

IBM India does not permit its employees to moonlight or take up a second job simultaneously, a top company executive said, echoing the voices of other tech giants. “Notwithstanding what they (employees) can do with the rest of their time, it’s not ethical…that’s my view,” Sandip Patel, managing director, IBM India and South Asia said at the IBM Think event. IBM had a total of over 2,82,000 employees as of 2021, one-third of whom are based in India. In November 2021, IBM completed the separation of its managed infrastructure services business to Kyndryl, comprising approximately 90,000 employees.
