So guys, My boss has a tech firm which I work as a manager. he is into properties as a side hustle so am I, which he is not aware of.
Okay, recently he was making a call about a 3 bedroom which he needs for a client and I have some.
Should I tell him? Because I think I should just stick to the tech aspect of business with him. My gut is telling me it won't end well, you know how this boss behave sometimes when it's time for sharing commissions.

I need your opinion on this too maybe am over thinking the whole thing.

It will not end well.
The moment you tell him, you have turned from an employee to a competitor, and he will kick you out. Worst case scenario: he will have you arrested for snooping on him, picking his sensitive information or even stealing his clients.

Trust your instincts.
There's a reason why telling him doesn't feel right.

Your gut feeling already warned you and you ram yo social media to still ask? Which do you trust, your gut feeling or the social media feedback?

Can you trust yourself to make good informed decisions?

Keep your side hustle out of your official deal with your boss. Face your side hustle privately and if possible keep it away from your colleagues at work and face your Tech deal only with them. Let your boss handle his property business the he wants to. It is not your business at all. He may accuse you of using office time to cut other deal even when it not so. This may force him to sack you because he may now see you as competitor and a threat to his business. May God help you.

Please don't... You shouldn't be eavesdropping his phone conversation... Na amebo be that... If he approaches you to ask if you know of any one, it's a different ball game.

As a matter of fact, insider secrets can propel anyone from Earth to the Moon.

And no matter what, I personally do not think it's wrong to obtain profitable insider secrets, no matter the means. He'll probably help the boss get rid of an headache while earning his rewards on the side.

Situations like this are easy to handle. If you believe your boss is narrow minded, then if you must, try get the deal done by proxy...

Otherwise some profits are best left alone.

Finally someone with experience has spoken
Guyman01:
The reality is he will rent the apartment from you but will likely not pay you any commission because he pays your salary and if you insist he will assume you toy around with his business while focusing on your side hustle which doesn't end well most times from my years of experience in the field.

Separate your side hustle from your employment under his company except if you want to come out openly and tell him you want him to add it to your schedule of work.

You can rent the place to him by proxy through a trusted colleague in the property business and even pretend to help him get a good bargain if you are allowed to be a part of the negotiation.

Tell your colleague (who must be a good marketer) to meet him directly with an offer that he has properties to rent with details without mentioning you as a party to the deal.
Make sure you also agree with your colleague on how much he will get from the commission if the deal is successful and if he plays his part very well

One of the laws of power states that one should never outshine his master.
Another one says that one should conceal his intentions. Don't let your know that you too are into the real estate business. Do it on a coded level until you are ready to stand on your own fully then you can let your boss know about it.
