I don't have any problem contributing to 3rd party open source projects at work time for e.g. fixing a bug, but how do you deal with your OWN open source? Let's say you have a small library you made personally, then use it at work, then find a bug during work hours. If I contribute during those work hours, I think that'd be on the gray zone.

I learned a very different things, but thank you nonetheless: there are companies that care about these things! I just got a full-time job that is basically like this, a hell on Earth (I've been freelancing before). So the lesson I learned is, I should be looking for a new job :)
My coworker (we are 2 in the team) is already jumping ship even when he joined later than me.
