Non-related industries, I don't think they could get away with it without getting sued.

yes, generally you can just quit. it's usually a couple of week's notice, but it can be less if both parties agree, so if you want to quit, you just do. The penalty is usually a bad/no reference. Technically, they can refuse to acept no notice. few places do. They can fire you for no reason at all here, unless you have a contract. I*t's not technically Moonlighting bacause you don;t have a contract, but so what? They can fire you just because
