Ask HN: I work for one company, but write code for another. Could this be bad?

3 点作者 Skywing超过 10 年前
Hi all,<p>I&#x27;m employed by company A, at which I write software for company A. This is a straight-forward situation.<p>Company A created a second legal entity, company B. Company B started out as a separate company that company A would sell software under, for licensing reasons that are beyond me.<p>Recently though, I&#x27;ve been tasked with writing software specifically <i>for</i> company B. As in, I am now managing a team of developers who work for company B, and are writing software for company B, that B will sell. It is meant to be completely separate from A, legally. Now, whether technically it is or not, I do not know - I&#x27;m just part of this larger plan.<p>I&#x27;m the only employee at company A working within this cross-company configuration. I&#x27;m wondering if there&#x27;s anything I should be concerned about, or if I should bring anything up with my bosses about this. If so, what should I be asking for? I kind of feel like I&#x27;m being overused, but don&#x27;t really know how to go about handling it.

A few things you can do: a) Ask HR what entity is paying you (probably still A) b) Ask your Boss which company s(he) is working for (reporting lines are important in HR&#x27;s eye&#x27;s) c) Once you know what organization is paying you and what reporting lines you report into, then you can have a better idea of where you actually work. d) If it&#x27;s all A and you are doing a whole bunch of work for B, then it&#x27;s time to have a sit-down with boss to clarify things. e) You can always ask for a legal (sometimes free) consultation about what your rights are, what your tax implications are, etc...

This is unusual, but doesn&#x27;t seem like a problem. You are working for company A and being contracted out to company B as a &quot;consultant.&quot; B is probably paying A for your services assuming they are in fact separate corporations.

Assuming company B is a subsidiary of company A, there is nothing to worry about for you.
