20. 😑 Greedy Bastard...

I temped at a Bank's HQ back in the early '80s. While not completely remembering about what I did... something like entering people's changes (if they wanted to) in the bank's offered investment plans - weekly: on a special form that was sent a different dept nearby to be entered into the system.

There were certain things they couldn't do bc it would be considered insider trading, but I wasn't the the person who had to look out for it. I'm sure glad I wasn't (!!!), but I wonder who was. Or maybe it was potentially attempted in another way. Idk.

The other wild thing was I had access to the Eployee's Info Directory. It even included the CEO's name, address, and $$$/hr he got.

So just playing with numbers right now....
2,3XX/hr ='d: 95,XXX/wk,
X's 52 wks ='d 4,XXX,XXX (closer to 5 Mil, and that was early 1980's! )
