I'm not sure that everyone is understanding what you are saying about picking the hours that you work. There is nothing unethical about working 2 jobs. I would venture to say that a few of us here had single parents, or knows someone that does, that work 2 or even 3 jobs at once to attain their goals, whether it was to support their family or whatever. From a management standpoint, a lot of times that is considered a strong work ethic because it shows that you are a dedicated person. What you are dedicated to really doesn't matter to them. I have been in management for 20 years and every company I have worked for views it that way or in a similar manner. I have also had 2 jobs at the same time before as well. However, my 2nd job was just a weekend deal. As it has been stated however, it becomes a problem if your 2nd job is a competitor in the line of whatever your job is. This becomes a conflict of interest and is handled in different ways. Since you stated that your job is a contract job of sorts, you need to look into the terms of employment and be sure that it does not state that your work should be conducted during a set time frame in the day. Regardless of the fact that you are salaried and that you have the option to work from home, there could still be a stipulation in there regarding that particular point. I have seen it before because certain companies have different values and do not want you conducting business on their behalf after a certain time of day because it could give someone the wrong impression, so to speak. Take it for what it's worth but that would be where I would start. Hope this helps. Good luck.
