I've got a job where i do almost nothing. It's my passive income.
- recentdarkness 13y agowally is that you? SCNR
- ozh 13y agoDo some freelancing during office hours & double the income.
- viach 13y agoThis would not be passive.
- knob 13y agoYou have to think bigger man. Outsource the outsourcement... Interact with top-level outsourcer once per week... he interacts with low-level outsourcer daily. Profit.
- viach 13y agoYes, but how i would outsource interacting to still do nothing?
- kintamanimatt 13y agoHave a Perl script written to handle it.

- ozh 13y agoThat's as timely as awesome
- muzz 13y agothis may be veering off-topic, but why would an employer-- especially a big one with lots of individual consumers as customers-- be willing to make it publicly known that that occurred? doesn't it undermine consumer confidence in their business?
- chaz 13y agoThey didn't. The story is provided by Verizon's Enterprise Security Products group, and is a cautionary tale about one of their clients and the need for proactive log review. The client and the cat-loving software developer in question were not named.

- rplnt 13y agoWhile not doing anything might be immoral, doing something else is most likely in violation of the contract and the work done would (again, most likely) be owned by the employer. Along with the income.
- kirk21 13y agoGovernment or big co?
- izolate 13y agoI'm convinced this is the best type of passive income. A job with minimal work (perhaps some kind of security guard or IT support) sitting at a desk. I would use the opportunity to work on my own projects that would actually make me money, all the while getting paid.
- seivan 13y agoYeah I want this.
- imdsm 13y agoI had this, it got boring real fast. The money wasn't great. I could live on it but there was no future prospect. A slow career death if you will. So I took a harder job, with higher pay.
- legacy2013 13y agoThis, I had the same issue, except they paid well. I ended up leaving for a job that would actually use my skills with more pay
- warbastard 13y agoExactly the same case for me too. At first it seems like it would be great, but it was wearing away at the passion I once had for my career. I now spend my days looking at cat videos and playing games rather than focussing on personal projects. I move jobs in 2 weeks to a harder job with better pay and can't wait.
- imdsm 13y agoBest of luck with that. For me it was a great decision!
- rmc 13y agoCan't really argue with "and higher pay"
- teamonkey 13y agoBoard Director?
- marcelftw 13y agoMuch like "Bored Director"
- brosco45 13y agoMicrosoft? Meetings are work man!
- viach 13y agoHmm, I probably should send my cv there...
- cypherpunks01 13y agoDo you have to show up at any particular place every day?
- viach 13y agoMorning stand-up meetings and the office kitchen.
- JamesAdir 13y agoI've got to say it ain't so easy to find such a job. When you've got some qualifications, employers doesn't keen on hiring you. I'm talking about tech support jobs that you can do easily during the day. Working as a night guard is usually very low pay and doesn't justify the effort. If anyone has got an idea on how to get remote flexible support jobs, I'd be happy to hear.
