> "It’s a problem because side projects create a talent bubble of people who aren’t fully engaged and are just doing enough at their “real” or full-time job" I'm sorry, but where was the part in my employment contract where I was required to live and breathe work every minute of my life? If you're an employee with no stocks or shares, then doing "just enough" of your job is exactly what you're being paid to do. Do more if you like, but going the extra mile isn't a requirement. Also, some people enjoy working on side projects because they're fun, and not because they dream of being an entrepreneur. (Edit: formatting)
