...finished a hard day’s work at the office. After commuting home and eating a quick dinner, nothing sounds better than some quality binge watching on Netflix. But you resist the urge, open up your laptop, and get to work on that side job. Sound familiar? For a lot of new startups, this is a typical weekday. Welcome to the world of moonlighting. Moonlighting, or working multiple jobs, has become more and more common these days. People moonlight for lots of reasons: to supplement income, to gain skills, or to start a new business. So why’s moonlighting important? These days, many successful companies (like Instagram) owe their existence to moonlighting. But moonlighting is hard work, and it can be risky.

...CASE STUDY of ‘The Moonlighter” 1. INTRODUCTION According to Lewis, business ethics is a topic that has received much attention in literature but due to its abstract nature, nearly all definitions available exist at highly theoretical levels (Lewis 1985, 377). Most people have the tendency to distrust corporations in the market and the larger the firm, the worse the problem of trust usually gets (Rushton 2002, 138). Highly visible business ethics issues influence the public’s attitudes toward business and can destroy trust. Ethical decisions are a part of everyday life for those who work in organisations (Ferrell, and Fraderich 2012, 25). As such, the ability for the corporation to maintain a good public image, retrain customer trust and succeed as a firm highly depends on their ability to comply with business ethics defined by the society and environment it is surrounded by. “The Moonlighter” by Bronwyn Fryer is an article consisting of several ethical dilemmas where problems can range from large to small and from personal to business for several individuals. The aim of this case study is to identify what the ethical issues are and comprehensively understand the ethical dimensions. 2. Ethical Perspectives It is essential for an individual to maintain ethical behaviour in their conducts of business especially in the modern professional environment. Therefore, in order to adhere to the high degrees of ethical standards and accountability, individuals must be...

...problems involving job satisfaction, attitudes, personalities and values in the company. During the global economic crisis, the top management of the company implemented some measures to counter the crisis. The finance manager was monitoring company’s expenditures very tightly, freezing all overseas business travels and stopping all product trainings. The managing director applied huge pressures to the entire sales & marketing team hoping to cut cost and generate more sales revenues, these including pays cut and setting unrealistic sales target. At the same interval, the Indonesia’s branch manager was caught working with two different companies at the same time period. When the branch manager was being confronted, he mentioned that moonlighting is very common in Indonesia. Lastly, we also use the famous motivation theories such as the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Herzberg’s Two-Factors Theory to explain the concept of motivation and how motivation is related to the problem described above.

...CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS Our handbook, written by Kenneth Peck gives us some insight into the constitutional rights associated with criminal justice employees. It covers such areas as freedom of speech, search and seizures, self incrimination, religious practices, sexual misconduct, residency requirements, moonlighting, misuse of firearms, alcohol and drugs and drug testing. The state has a vital interest as an employer in regulating the speech of its employees with reasonable restrictions. The restrictions cannot be overly broad or in a way in which the government action is implied. Agencies may regulate/restrict the political behavior of employees. Without this employees can be pressured by superiors to support certain candidates, political activities or other activities that may impair the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization or them doing their jobs. The Fourth Amendment rights in regards to search and seizure cover the employee when they are off duty or at home just as it applies to everyone else. However, equipment supplied by the organization, such as lockers, desks, computers, patrol cars, uniforms, etc. are not protected by the Fourth Amendment. Even the employees, themselves, during work hours are considered a part of the department’s equipment and the individual may be used in a police lineup if necessary. The right to plead the Fifth Amendment does not necessarily apply to criminal justice employees providing that the officer has been informed...

...can do now. He feels like his life has passed, and he regrets that he did not make the most of his teenage years. Therefore, when his daughter, Penny, comes home with a boy, Andy, he does not judge him at all. Andy is what most people would call a delinquent, black clothes, huge motorcycle, does not believe in exams (“Andy remarked he did not believe in exams anyway” ) However, Ray had taken a liking to him, and he found no malice in the boy (There was no malice in the boy ). He does not want to keep Penny locked up, because of how many exciting experiences she could enjoy, that he did not. Andy is very relaxed, when it comes to his life. He lives for the moment, and he does not care about what might come tomorrow. He makes money by moonlighting to afford his expensive clothes and motorbike. His motorbike is the symbol of his pride, his freedom, with it he can go anywhere and everywhere. This is what makes Ray like Andy so much, his laid-back attitude, and his freedom to do whatever he wants, when he wants. Parenthetically, Andy’s language is very brusque: (“This your Mum and Dad then, Pen?” ). Andy is probably from a working class family like Ray (“his father was a butcher” ), which indicates that Ray is able to recognise himself (and his dreams) in Andy. Andy’s motorbike symbolises freedom and pride, and that freedom is what Ray yearns...

...times because of its simplicity (Anthony, 2011). A sole proprietorship is the simplest form of business organization. The owner of the business, the sole proprietor, is the business. There is no separate legal entity. Sole proprietorships are the most common form of business organization in the United States (Cheeseman, 2010). One example of a business that becomes a sole proprietorship is an independent contractor. The future business owner completes work for a business, but they are not an employee of these companies, they are considered self-employed and therefore a sole proprietor. Most person call this “moonlighting.” For example, if an electrical contractor with a full-time job also does home electrical installation after work or on the weekends and is not representing the company for which they work for during regular hours, the home side-work is moonlighting. Many hobbyists can also become sole proprietors if their hobby becomes popular and providing orders to customers. The electrical contractor or hobbyists, enjoy their independence and self-management. The sole proprietorship owner decides...

...spokesperson for Coors Regular beer, appearing in television commercials for them.[15] Harmon's career reached several other high points in 1986. In January, he was named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. Following his departure from St. Elsewhere in February, he played the lead in the TV movies Prince of Bel Air, co-starring with Kirstie Alley, and The Deliberate Stranger, in which he portrayed the real-life law student turned cross-country serial killer Ted Bundy. With his career blossoming, he gained a role in the 1986 theatrical film Let's Get Harry and the lead role in the 1987 comedy Summer School, again co-starring with Kirstie Alley. Returning briefly to episodic television in 1987, Harmon had a limited engagement on the series Moonlighting, playing Cybill Shepherd's love interest Sam Crawford for four episodes. He then starred in the 1987 TV movie After The Promise. In 1988, he co-starred with Sean Connery and Meg Ryan in the 1988 feature film The Presidio, and also opposite Jodie Foster in the film Stealing Home. Despite several high-profile roles, Harmon's film career never gathered momentum and, after a muted...

...My current organization can leverage the inimitable resources it has firstly by building a conceptual argument. To build an argument such as, my organization has to build a resource-based view that describes what resources are valuable and ultimately creates long-term profits for the organization. According to Colquitt, Lepine, & Wesson (2015), resource-based view is a model that argues that rare and inimitable resources help firms maintains competitive advantage. Those inimitable resources include history with the organization, making numerous small decisions and socially complex resources. To retrieve those resources, a leader in an organization such as a manager should closely examine employees’ behaviors. (Colquitt et al., 2015) states that a number of factors affect performances and commitment include individual mechanisms such as a job satisfaction, stress, motivation, trust, justice, and ethics. Individual characteristics, group mechanisms and organizational mechanisms also factors in on an employee’s performance. One of my co-workers has been employed at the establishment for 5+ years now, and is a great asset and very beneficial at the organization because of her extent of knowledge and history. Recently the manager conducted an individual evaluation with each employee, unfortunate for her, she did not have the best evaluation. Discussing her concern with me, made me reflect, she is the longest employee with the company and she does what is required for her to...

...Say No to RH Bill I have to admit that the arguments presented are well-researched and seem evidence-based. And her points are definitely much better than those of the dogmatic CBCP. Does it change my stance on the RH Bill? I am always for education and for informed consent. Dr. Manalo provided information on why some contraceptives are health hazards and I have always been against birth-control pills and the IUD. I have always believed that, as a birth control device, the condom is the most safe and effective contraceptive device. And if one claims that life begins at fertilization, condoms should be morally acceptable because it prevents fertilization, right? I’m against with that of RH. Bill. How come the Philippines are one of the poorest countries in the world! Is RH bill can help to lessen the poverty we are facing? Common people make up your mind. The problem is not the issue of over population, the government should do things to help those unlucky people like the poor ones, give them a job in order to sustain their needs. If my opinion at all can reach your community, I really feel my role as a mother bringing my humble experience rose in a poor surrounding in San Miguel, Quiapo can contribute “a no-agenda” lesson except stand on truth you may want to hear. Im Anti-RH. My sights traveled every time my curiosity picked the thickening number of young street children. At their tender years they roamed the street and congest the whole ground of San Miguel where...

...I found myself in an equally absurd, but less depressing, situation when I was moonlighting on Czech TV as a moderator, introducing movies, in the early ’50s. It was live, so there was no chance to bleep politically undesirable words. Every utterance, even in supposedly spontaneous interviews, had to be scripted, approved by the censors, learned by heart and repeated verbatim on the air. When I was preparing to interview one Comrade Homola, a powerful Communist, I sent him questions, but didn’t receive his answers. My boss, also a powerful party member, told me: “He is lazy! Write his answers for him, and remind him to learn them by heart.” So I did. Comrade Homola arrived at the last moment. When the red light went on and I asked the first question, he reached into his pocket, took out my answers and started to read them, awkwardly and obediently — including my inadvertent grammatical mistakes. And thus, to my consternation, went the whole interview. In the control booth, my boss hit the roof. I was fired the next day for ridiculing a representative of the state. Whatever his faults, I don’t see much of a socialist in Mr. Obama or, thankfully, signs of that system in this great nation. Mr. Obama is accused of trying to expand the reach of government — into health care, financial regulation, the auto industry and so on. It’s fair to question whether the federal government should have expanded powers: America, to its credit, has debated this since its birth. But let’s...

...Reporting Practices and Ethics In financial management there are four components that include: 1.) planning; 2.) controlling; 3.) directing and organizing; and 4.) making decisions are (jblearning, 2010) tools enabling managers to identify and accomplish objectives, ensure plans are followed, ensure an effective use of resources, and make informed choices (Baker & Baker, 2011). The generally accepted accounting principles are the uniform least possible guidelines to and standards of financial reporting (Office of Financial Management, 2001). General financial ethical standards, determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, are standards that are general and determine the way accountants in the United States conduct and format reports (Morley, 2014). Abuse and fraud account for as much as 15 percent in annual expenditures in health care in the United States (Rudman, 2009). Independence, integrity, and objectivity make up the three components of ethics (Gallup, 2014). The four components of financial management are: first.) planning; second.) controlling; third.) directing and organizing; and fourth.) making decisions. In summarizing the components of financial management; in the area of planning the steps are identified by the manager to be taken in accomplishing objectives of the organization. In the area of controlling, the manager ensures areas of the organization are following the established plans. One method utilized is studying current reports comparing...
