IT company Happiest Minds Technologies has said moonlighting is unacceptable as it amounts to violation of job contract and that "few" employees found engaging in such practices have been fired over the last 6-12 months.
Many IT firms including Wipro and IBM have called it 'illegal' and 'unethical'. In fact, it was Wipro chairman Rishad Premji who triggered the whole debate by calling it "cheating - plain and simple".
