Today's tip of the day told me that canceling a production job leaves the slot unavailable for the duration of the scheduled job. Does this mean a sociopath could start and cancel a cheap 24-hour job for all slots at a factory denying its availability for any other use? Or does it also tie up the sociopath's slots, limiting his abuse to 11 per toon?

It does free the character slot, and does not free the factory slot, so yes, one could do this to tie a factory up. That said, it does also consume the materials, so tying up 50 slots for any significant period of time isn't a terribly cheap option.

It's not an uncommon move when having an outpost with few factory slots taken away from you, though. Queue a 30 day job, cancel, rinse, repeat a few times.
