It’s one drink, what could it cost? Ten dollars?
This is satire right?
Almost certainly.
Only almost, though.
50-60 a day? Assuming a 7.5 h workday, or 450 minutes, that’s ~8 minutes per interview, pretty hard to keep up even for fake ones
Its also not passive if you’re working for it lmao
Doing 50 conversations in a day is a lot of work.
Also on the high end, 30 people buy a drink, meeting 300$ profit? What are the sodas $20 each?
It’s one soda, Michael. What could it cost? 20 dollars?
$300 divided by 30 would be $10, but still, there’s no fucking way anyone is going for that. The post is probably meant as satire, but they should have at least made it believable
Yeah this math ain’t mathin’.
I was building in for cost of renting the machine, stocking sodas what have you. lol. Even this empty headed catgirl can divide 300 by 10!
empty headed catgirl can divide 300 by 10
You mean divide 300 by 30? 🫠
Mmm yeah. That one. I can do some simple math, but unable to read :3
😁👍 We all have our days sometimes, eh.
Gotta be group interviews. Had a few of them in my time. They’re shit.
Even with group interviews… Let’s take the supposed profit, 300$, and assume it’s 100 pops at 3$ each, and for the sake of it let’s say revenue = profit in this case. That’s 100 purchases per day.
The post claims 50 interviewees per day, so 2 purchases per interviewees.
By groups of 10, that’s 5 cohorts spending 1h each with the interviewer, during which every. Single. Person. Buys 2 drinks?
Humm!
It’s a good joke
But half because the logic is so terrible. That’s not passive income. It’s retail
Uses other people’s money for both the product and service = “passive”.
You’re not thinking enough like a grifter to grasp the “big-picture” thinking at work here.
quotation marks = sacastic/fake in my usage, to be clear.
You’re not thinking enough like a grifter
I mean, its obviously a shit post. But I imagine spending a whole day doing fake interviews - 50 a day, five days a week, for a month - to make around $6k gross, and then tell yourself you can scale this up passively.
That’s why you never stop at just one hustle!
Enough scale, and why would you keep your day-job? … but you don’t have to be smart-enough for that to buy-into and sell this lifestyle!
Congrats on pin-pointing why I leave my own true potential for grift and hustle on the table, save for moments of desperation where inaction would otherwise cost my family. That is to say, I sometimes borrow money from my mom, and that’s plenty evil enough for me.
Branch out and rent one of those rooms for $100/day, hire an interviewer for $100/day. Rinse and repeat ad nauseam until Trillionaire.
And how do you hire the interviewers? (see step 1)

This feels like another one of those funny jokes that someone will come along and ruin by telling me he’s serious.
This does not seem feasible and isn’t passive income at all because he’s actively doing stuff to make it happen.
I could believe someone might call it “passive” in their head (they’re not actively selling the thing, I suppose). Because having “passive income” seems to be a kind of status symbol for some people.
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 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?
Simple. Because they don’t know its there.
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.
9000$ a month won’t do shit
That’s some expensive drinks too.
It’s a Japanese vending machine design, and it’s half embedded into the jutting corner of that wall.
Frankly, I wouldn’t want to work in an office whose floorplan is only measured in 3 dimensions.
Photoshopping to avoid tipping-off his employer is the closest thing to a smart decision on display here. Worthless if he’s not using a pseudonym.
Nice catch!
50-60 job interviews for a measly $300.
Sounds miserable. I’d rather flip burgers for McDonald’s
to make 120?
Imagine making yourself miserable just to make $300
I mean starting wages in fast food still like 15 an hour and it’s a pretty miserable gig.
I’d rather do the interviews.
Hell, me from Slovakia makes 4.70 EUR per hour.
Though I don’t know about the difference in local purchasing power.
