ethical/unethical
As a full time prepress operator, ethical or unethical to do freelance design work??... Lets hear your opinion and what makes that opinion..
mine: Ethical, as long as:
1. The customer didnt call the shop and say "I would like to get such and such designed, but rather called YOUR personal cell or home phone and said I hear you do Graphic Design, could you design me a..."
2. The design work is done on your OWN equipment, at your OWN home, on your OWN time. Staying after hours, off the clock but still using production CPUs and Software isnt rightly ethical, even though you are "off the company's clock". This becomes ethical with expressed written permission from the owner of the equipment, not the manager.
3. The design customer is not a CURRENT or PREVIOUS customer of the shop you work for, just because they call you "outside" of work doesnt make that right.
4. The company doesnt have a written policy in their bylaws/guidelines prohibiting moonlighting.
so let's hear what you other "crossbreeds" out there have to add... thanks folks..
