Well then, we just have different definitions then. In my industry (the banking & financial services industry), we do not generally use your definition of what passive income is.

According to your definition, I must be having a lot of passive income then. All my colleagues and I get paid a constant monthly salary, even though sometimes we work overtime and sometimes we leave at 5:30 pm sharp. The income we earn is independent of the time we spend working on the system.
