> I don't approve of working multiple jobs simultaneous like this without your employers knowing, I think it's unethical.

Why is that unethical? I don't think it's my employer's business what I do with my time outside of work hours. Where "work hours" should be a flexible thing, especially for knowledge work, outside of required meeting attendance.

Ultimately as long as I get my job done to my employer's satisfaction, that should be all that matters. Seems like that was the real problem with the guy who got fired upthread; the discovery of the multiple-jobs thing was a convenient way to fire him without having to deal with documenting the low performance, a PIP, etc.

What I think is unethical is companies making employees sign a "I won't work anywhere else while employed here" thing when they start work.
