I mean how is that even remotely passive?
It's "passive" because it uses his employers' time and money to generate additional off-the-books income for himself.
Same way many land-lords mortgage their rental properties close-to insolvency. Damn straight, "passive"=using other people's money.
I doubt he's using company time if he does 50-60 interviews daily and doesn't hire anyone. No company would pay you to do that.
Your faith in corporate HR departments astounds me.
OTOH, don't count out reviews, promotions, discipline and other "interviews". Also meetings, so many meetings.
No faith in corporate HR, but concrete knowlege of how payroll works. No company is your friend, they are there to make as much money off of you as possible. Internal meetings are not external interviews, if you were hired to do a job interviewing for a positons and you went through 50-60 people a day with no results, they would replace you.
Don't forget Ghost jobs and all the temp/recruitment agencies out there, but I did forget the "I never hire anyone" bit until your comment prompted me to check the pic again. Also, listings that only exist certain nepotism or racial/class hires, but they stild have to interview x number of excluded candidates for appearances' sake.
Personally, there were a few times I was head-hunted by what turned out to be middlemen trying to fill a quota. No in-person interviews, but to say the jobs they were recruiting for were a bad fit for my public credentials would be an understatement.
I assure you, corporate non-sense knows no bounds, and I'm happy for you, that you've had the luck to avoid encountering some of the worst and most demoralizing of it.
Yep, also why the hell would they let him keep the vending machine money?
Simple. Because they don't know its there.
So, he is restocking the machine himself?
Seems like it, but admitting to anything like the work of loading it or the expense of purchasing the drinks would tarnish his grifter persona.
