I worked for a Big Corp which included this statement in the contract. At the time I was too young to care, but my older colleagues were very aware of this. Some of them who worked on their gig in the evenings left a few years later to start their own company, where they simply took that evenings work to the product.

Yeah, I fell into this trap with early employers too. But refuse to do so going forward. As I posted above, I am currently delaying with a potential employer that just doesn't want to engage in the process (they are not the first), and I'm wondering how common this is. It's really pushing me towards self-employment.
