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?

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.
