If an employer hires you to do a job, they don't want you cutting corners on
your full-time job so you can build your own empire on the side. Seen it done
lots of times. Its lame.
Some companies, as part of their employment agreement, say very clearly - no
moonlighting. Typically, its restricted to the same type of work (i.e. if you
do tech writing for an employer, you can't moonlight as a tech writer but you
could moonlight as a industrial freelance caterpiller squisher, or whatever
non-tech writing work rotates your knobs.)
