They weren’t getting stuff done, because they weren’t putting in the time to get it done, because they were splitting their time between two jobs.

That's my point though. It isn't "oh they had two jobs so they got fired," it's "they weren't performing so they got fired."
Plenty of people with one job don't perform and get cut. I've worked with people in the past who I knew had multiple FT jobs, or a FT job and a very demanding contracting schedule, or whatever, and had no trouble doing their work in a reasonable timeframe.
This whole idea that it's wrong or bad to have two FT jobs just smells like some middle manager feeling like they "own" their employees. I'm glad to see the culture has shifted somewhat and people are starting to see how ridiculous that mindset is.
