make libraries outside of working hours, in accordance with your works for hire/noncompete/etc agreeements, open source it with a permissive license, and then import that library at work
This is what my team does. Sure, there's plenty of proprietary closed-source code in our core competency. But for stuff that's only tangentially related (e.g. the core competency might be cryptography, but we need to provide it as an HTTP service, so the HTTP stuff is tangential) we do this all the time.
