I mean how is that even remotely passive?

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 5 days ago (8 children)

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 straigh, "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.

Yep, also why the hell would they let him keep the vending machine money?

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.
