So are there any examples of Shopify employees actually not performing at their Shopify jobs because they're too busy using Shopify to run their own businesses?<p>If no - if the president of the company can do it and somehow be qualified to do his job - then why was this message even necessary? It just muddies the waters about what is and isn't allowed, and sends mixed messages.<p>Not working for competitors/in competition with your employer, I understand. Beyond that, it's none of your business what I do with non-work time.
