Moonlighting simply refers to the act of having a second job, or working for extra projects, gigs, or employers that counts as a secondary source of income, outside one’s working hours.
Issue around Moonlighting
While Swiggy launched a moonlighting policy allowing its employees to work on their passion projects outside of their work (calling it a step towards a “remote-first organization”).
Rishad Premji, Wipro’s chairman, called the concept of moonlighting in the tech industry as cheating.
Argument in favor of Moonlighting
Moonlighting allows workers to work for side projects once they finish their shift timings, without compromising on their primary employment.
