There's your answer. He doesn't want you using his stuff if you're not committed to him. He for sure doesn't want you using his copier for AFLAC business.
My non captive agency is making me choose between them and another company.

That's the thing though. I keep both jobs separate. When I'm at the office I don't partake in any Aflac business. Basically when I'm not running any apps is when I conduct Aflac business. Never bring it into my office

I'm new to both companies, been with both for about 4 weeks
My employer contract does not state anything about being affiliated with another business.
No. I don't conduct any Aflac business while at my agency's office

I mean, ultimately they can demand whatever they want, and you can choose to stay or leave.

I'm choosing to leave. I just think it's pretty unprofessional to give an employee that kind of ultimatum. I'm new to this industry and didn't know whether or not a non captive agency could do that.

There are many 'captive' 'noncaptive' arrangments.
Their agency, their rules.
You are new, find the right fit and move on.

Oh, you are a W2 employee? Huh, I thought you were independent 1099. Yes, then that sounds like a totally reasonable demand to me. I'm surprised as a W2 employee you thought that was acceptable to start with.

Really? You said you were an employee and that they are your employer.

Offer a split to the owner and ask to cross sell the commercial and personal lines clients in the agency. If they value your work I would think they would try to retain you.
Good luck in your decision.
