There's a guy in my town who works at a federal prison who is doing gig work on the weekends because the government cut the retention bonuses they had been getting for years due to staffing shortages.
The prison jobs are some of the highest paying in this area with solid benefits, but some people will always live at the edge of their means. Dude probably has a mortgage, a boat payment, an RV payment, an ATV payment and child support. I guess he just thought he'd get an $38k/yr for forever.
Tbf the cost to fill the hole in your soul that that job forms is basically infinite
If you have a soul.
