It's voluntary. For the record I was making six figures 5 years ago. We've all taken hits to help the company survive. Owner and wife sold their stunning home and moved into a small condo. Owner's mom and dad (who started the company) no longer draw salaries.

Except for my monthly rent of $700 and electric bill ~$50, I basically have no bills. Plus they're paying my insurance - which is a killer plan. The bill for my 5150 was over $16K (WTF) My out of pocket was less than $400.

my job is pretty cool for the most part. there are a few toxic employees who kinda ruin the whole thing at times and i'm like 80% convinced one of them is a sociopath....

but yeah aside from that i enjoy it. i also get a lot of time during the day to play around on the internet and listen to music so that's hard to beat.

Sociopaths tend to be really cool and friendly though. Are you sure he's not just a dick?

i'm no expert but he definitely matches the description enough for me to think it's highly plausible.

Nah sociopaths can be socially incompetent just like regular people. Just because you're manipulative doesn't mean you're any good at it.
