If I hired a full time programmer and found out they had two other jobs I'd probably let them focus on those other two. If they were showing the "C" behaviors in all three jobs, they have no job security, unless they work where they can't be let go.

Shouldn't you measure output instead of hours spent on the job?
People could be productive or not with one job as well as there.

Measuring output is what this whole post is about.
1. "If you have poor output, you won't last long. Here's what 'poor output' looks like..."
2. "But what if they have poor output because they're working three jobs?"
3. "Then I'd let them go."
You: "Cruel! Shouldn't you be measuring their output!?"
