This absolutely happens in real life. Guy I worked with was at a large telecom company that liquidated in the 2000s. Dude was high up and had a beach house.. you know, rich people stuff.

After the 2000s recession he had major trouble getting hired because he earned too much before and potential employers would think he would leave if they gave him a lower offer.

He ended up working for me building hydroponic farms for about a year making shit pay.

Fox News attack on Tim Walz for helping struggling student instantly backfires

Reply in thread

It’s in the article but here:

The implication of the headline was that Walz didn't really do anything to help the struggling student and only cared about keeping him on the field to win football games.

However, an interview with the former student, a man named Dan Clement, showed that Walz encouraged him to continue playing because he thought it would give him a positive outlet away from alcohol and criminal activities that could help him straighten out his life.

"The caring attention he gave, that positive support can pull you through really dark times in your life," said Clement. "And he was right. I was wrong. And later in life, when I continued to do that, when I continued to trust other people who love me, then it led my life in this beautiful direction. Just like it did back then."
