I have myself a question for you guys...
when I signed my contract for the agency I currently work for it came with a condition that I would not, under any circumstances, be allowed to do work for any other commercial purposes while employed there.
I was wondering if this is a normal practice? for those who work at agencies, do you have similar terms stated aswell?
anything I can or should do to get out of such an agreement?
thanks in advance!

Is this a non-compete agreement? If so you can work, but not with a competitor.
I had an issue like that once where a company wanted to pay me squat, and take up all my time... tell them to f**k off, you'll probably get more money.

Depends on the place, but yes many places do not want their employees doing side work.
Some places have no problem with it as long as you are not directly competing with them.
I've worked under both situations. Just don't say a word if that's the case and you should be cool.

yeah, no need for a secret identity or anything, just keep in to yourself about the extra work, we gots to pay da bills.
just watch doing work that you think would be competing with who you work for.
