It's incredibly difficult to fire someone in a large company, not to mention you basically just have to "hit your numbers". As an example if you go work for a company like SAP or Oracle, you can literally coast along on a 9-5 (sometime unpaid overtime can happen) and make $80k+. The real problem usually ends up being the ability to get in (depending on role).

Source: I worked as a support consultant working for SAP and the amount of 9-5'rs who just skated by was shocking. I got paid well.
