This is very very disturbing. I truly feel for you, personally. Are there any sites that indicate which companies do (and don't) have such a policy?

Another question that arises would be the following (very non-hypothetical):

I am currently an employee of a consulting firm, working on some client site doing programming work. When I'm not working there, I have a second job, as a contract worker, doing different programming work. The contract specifies that all work done for the moonlighting job belongs to the contracting party. That's cool.

Does it also belong to my consulting firm?!? *blinkblinkblink* Who owns it? *sighs* As I've only done design work for the second job, it hasn't gotten to your point, I don't think. But ...

Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
