Harold states that he left his old "cushy" job with Multi-Corp., Inc., because he wanted to "return to his roots" by joining the local government in Possum Lake, with the implication being that it would have been at a substantial reduction in wages; his enviable "yuppie-level" income may have actually remained the same when he switched jobs, though --- as the Possum Lake PR representative, he was now making $60,000 per year, and he had previously been paid $1200 per week at his corporate job, which would have netted him an identical total amount if he'd worked 50 weeks per year.
