Ouch, yes that would result in an interesting conversation with the ride-along W2 sales mangler.

I get a 1099 for 10K a year because I was fortunate enough to set up a dental distributor with a product. I get a salary and work from home in an non-medical sales field. I spend zero time on the 1099. Just send me commissions. Sometimes I go hammer out a sale on a weekend at some local dentist office and make another 600 dollars for myself.

Will someone explain how a if your working W2 and you get a 1099 from another company how the W2 company would find out?

As many of us know, this industry is a small world! People will find out in the damnedest ways. It wrong, plain wrong. Unless you're a pharma rep (no offense to pharma reps), your RM expects you to be out working, earning your salary and benefits. Being a W-2 rep doesn't mean you quit after 40 hours a week. On the flip-side, why do so many reps think the words "1099" and "part-time" are synonymous? So you give a half-heart effort to both and you don't do well at either one. You're doing no one, including yourself, a favor.
 






Go for it. Work that 1099 opportunity on the side. Your W-2 employer only considers you to be a replaceable cog in the machine. One day your W-2 employer will replace you with someone younger, prettier, or better at brown nosing. You might as well start your new career today, so you won't be caught flat footed when you are eventually laid off.

I have twenty 1099's working with me. If I found out one of them was doing that, I'd fire them on the spot. It's unethical, cheating and stealing their base salary and benefits. When employed as a W-2 you are being paid to work full time aren't you? You have a serious character problem for even considering it. If I employed W-2's and found out one of them was doing that, I would sue for every thing I could. I'd own his home. I would also try my best to get criminal charges filed....fraud, deception, theft, I'd go for it all. So really, you think taking a base salary, car expenses, benefits while working doing something else is in some unimaginable way O.K?

Complete crap. I have never met a 1099 company that gives a crap if you have w2 or not. You are blind if you think your 1099's don't have other lines. I am a distributor and could give two flips if one of my 1099 has another gig. I want my $ and if they have a w2 and could leverage their relationships ....so be it. And as far as imaginable...people have 2 or 3 jobs. Does that mean a nurse working at a hospital and doing a 1099 gig like pampered chef is going to get canned?? Nope she will market her lil other job while doing that gig all day. I wonder how many people you have in your 1099 dist have more than one, I'll say 1 out of 4. Round up 3 of 10.
