No boss wants you to have a side hustle. That is the truth. Any side hustle and the boss will see it as an open challenge, an open competition that shows that you either do not want your job or you are not serious about it and want to focus on your own.
Any side hustle known to your boss is not secure. Most will fight you over it. You either end up abandoning your side hustle or your main job, depending on what gives you more money. Ironically, sometimes your side hustle gives you more money than your main job.
The first thing you should do if you have a side hustle is not to let your workmates know about it. 99 percent of them do not want you to succeed. They will be aroused by jealousy because you will be doing better than them. It is the nature of human beings.
