See, this is what I think SHOULD be the case, but obviously folks have different opinions. I'm not required to work the hours of 9-5 in my current job, so if I did work that time at another job then I don't think that really is a reason alone for them to fire me justifiably. Especially when you take into account that I am not paid hourly for anything. If I don't have to report into an office, who is to say that I have to work certain hours?
Also, I would never tell a boss I was working two jobs. The mere idea might make them think "oh well you don't have enough work to do," and I obviously wouldn't want more work in that type of situation.
I thought if an employer wanted to hire you and called your previous companies, those employers had to say the dates you were employed. This is when I see two full-time jobs simultaneously being an issue, because then you have to explain how you worked two salaried jobs at the same time. I think my answer would be pretty straightforward--one was a contract job whereby I worked from home and performed the work during non-standard hours, while the other job was performed during the standard 9-5 timeline. I don't know if that would hold much weight though.
