However, the only time he really relished in the 9-to-5 grind was when he took an unpaying position at Brandt/Leland after being mistaken for a coworker by the staff. Eventually, he was "fired" for his incomprehensible work—except that would have required this Seinfeld character to have been hired in the first place.
