I used to work for a software company that spent its time chasing military contracts. We had a whole corridor with offices for the retired colonels we had hired who never came into work. I had a friend in HR so I knew what everybody in the company made; the colonels all made in the neighborhood of $200,000 a year. Not a bad no-work gig at all, especially when that money was on top of their pensions. I can’t imagine the kind of money the fucking generals and admirals pull.
Us programmers used to sneak into the colonels’ offices to “work” – which really meant “nap” – confident that we would be undisturbed. I especially liked it because I didn’t have to hold in my farts.
