Moonlighting Restrictions Making Our Life More Miserable
This gen is already suffering from inflation on top of that in some sectors and companies where people work, they are not allowed to practice 'Moonlighting', either you do the job or leave the job. This was rare but nowadays companies and some sectors are taking a hostile approach against this and don't want other people to get involved in this activity.
Now you must be thinking what is 'Moonlighting' because at first impression it seems that it's related to a date watching the moon in the night with a lovely atmosphere, lmao. But it's not that in fact, I learned about this word today only.
Moonlighting or Moonlight refers to the practice of having a side job or work apart from the main job which people do after their main working hours. Most people in today's era do this.
Recently one friend of mine who is in Wipro Tech company in the IT sector informed me that his company warned him and others not to do any extra job when they are employed by Wipro and if not followed they will be fired.
The company gives these reasons to stop its employees from practicing moonlighting.
Workers get distracted and don't give their 100% to the company.
Handling two works cost lots of energy and unwanted attention and so employees will be less productive and creative.
These are the main reasons many companies are acting strictly against Moonlight.
But the question arises, Is It Valid?
Of course not, most companies work to provide solutions through products and their services and they should understand the reason why people are not satisfied with one job because it's not enough to pay them for their survival even. So why not one will look for another sources to earn money. When was the last time these companies increased the salary of their workers or even gave them a bonus? Very few private companies like TATA in India only think of their workers no matter how low level you are, you are paid better and people say that it's even better than a Government Job.
The value of products and services rises every 6 months with a good sum but for the salary, the price is so little that what to say.
After the Pandemic, instead of getting relief, everything's price skyrocketed and some still remain as for now still no increase in salary.
Another Example
In private schools, teachers are not allowed to teach kids in tuition as they think this will decrease their productivity in school which seems reasonable only when they are paid enough. See, the problem and solution are in front of them. Every year schools raise fees like crazy and I must say the highest inflation rate is in schools. They earn so much but still can't provide a good salary to the great teachers of our society.
Why Government Employees Don't Involve Themselves In This Activity?
Because the pay is good enough as well as the pension. Surely after retirement, many are even able create their own business.
While the private ones just live their life feeding their families.

Final Thoughts
Nobody wants to spend most of their hours working, people want to enjoy life and family too but the burden to have a normal life with a normal job is too much and so some employed people choose Moonlighting which seems valid to me.
The solution to stop Moonlighting is in front of the companies and with that, they can add more productivity power to their company as when an employee is happy and satisfied he will deliver much more than what he is paid for in the private sector though, the government sector has a different scenario, hehe.
So tell me how many of you are Moonlighting currently and is it allowed by the work sector you work for?
