That is a ridiculous assertion and is based on the fact Vod is your employer.
Thanks for the clarification /sarcasm

, however, my
employer is who I work for practically every day of my life to feed my family and have a place to live, and that's not Vod. Your "facts" seem a bit flawed. What else is new??
He is paying you for work on a regular basis. The conflict exists regardless of if i am referring to your day job or a side gig that gives you extra pocket cash.
