Workplace Conflict of Interest?

[mamiewuuu]

Hi Ladies,
I need some advice. Is it a conflict of interest to sell handbags at Coach and work a stock position at Nordstrom's? Let me know what you think.

I see no issue with that. What would the conflict be - that Nordstrom sells brands besides Coach?

I can see a possible conlict in that you could report to the Coach store that models and prices of the merchandise at Nordstrom...and vice versa.

The easiest way to find out is to ask the management at both stores.

Nordstrom's did not say it was a conflict of interest, so it would be on Coach's end. When I applied for the position, Nordstrom's did say Victoria's Secret was a conflict of interest, so I have already put in my two weeks notice there. Thanks ladies. I will talk to my manager tonight, I hope his head does not pop off.
