NDAs just get in the way man, I want to be able to just leak all sorts of company secrets without any nagging from HR.

Sounds like a guy I worked with once. He asked me to design a webpage for him. I have zero knowledge on any of that, but he insisted on hiring me as I was apparently one of the most tech-savvy people he knew. I sat in his office for several hours cleverly messing around with PowerPoint putting images and text together. Used the programme's internal hyperlinks to switch from one page to another. Put presentation mode on so it was full screen so he couldn't tell I was using PowerPoint.

He put £50 in my hand at the end of it. I never heard from him again. Honestly was 4 of the most awkward hours in my life. £12+ per hour back in 2010 wasn't a horrendous deal, and I get a neat story to tell!

edit: holy shit, I was telling my girlfriend about this and she informed me he actually got accused of fraud! Further digging on my part reveals they were actually cleared of the charges.
