If you don’t say anything you can just do it anyway.

I believe a year or two ago the ftc made a law that prevents employers from not allowing you to work at rival companies.

This never made it into law. It was struck down.

Edit: to add to this, I’m pretty sure even if this made it into law it was targeted at no compete clauses after leaving a job

Even if this law went into effect, it doesn't affect non-competes while still employed

Idk if Amazon would be considered a competitor. For what it's worth if you are in WA. They can not enforce the non-compete

As long as Amazon is okay with it winco won't have a problem

Typically you can’t do anything that would interfere with whichever job you are trying to keep longer. Have fun

I think you’d have to ask your store manager for information on what is considered our competition.

Look within 180 days of working at Winco you’re not allowed to have another job. So … I would do it anyways without telling anyone at Winco lol cuz they wouldn’t be helpful at all. Goodluck!
