    Probably.

    Even the mice have to play in the winery from time to time.

    Dry van work for $116, 000 per year. Man that sounds too good to be true. 1099 maybe? Even 83000 sounds like a pipe dream these days for most OTR dry van. You can probably make that at Traveloko

    So I found this gig where I show up, and sit in a chair all day and basically just watch the security cameras and report to the security guard if I see anything suspicious. The starting pay is $200,000 a year, but since they really want me in there, the boss raised it to $250,000 and all the free snacks I can eat. Would you do this or keep trucking? Oh ya its a 5 hour day whatever days I want to work and payed vacation as often as I like. Not sure its good enough deal though. What do y'all think?

    I think I can raise that even better.

    Just be a Company Suit, a Officer of said company.

    Show up at 11 AM sit in office. Haul in problem driver, make yes no or fired decision in 10 minutes. Go to lunch for two hours. Show up back at office at 2 and go away if there are no lines of syncopants seeking a audience with you.

    Pay? Who the hell knows. Someday you cash out millions when company is sold.
