Job Description: Long term team players needed for challenging permanent
work in an often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent
communication and organizational skills and be willing to work various hours,
which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call.
Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites
on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in faraway cities. Travel
expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.
Responsibilities: This is for the rest of your life. Must be willing to be
hated at least temporarily, until someone needs $5 to go skating. Must be
willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina
of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat
just in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just
crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such
as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers.
Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of
multiple homework projects. Must have the ability to plan and organize
social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be
willing to be indispensable one minute, and an embarrasment the next. Must
handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic
toys and battery operated devices. Must always hope for the best but be
prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountablility for the
quality of the end product. Responsibility also include floor maintenance
and janitorial work throughout the facility.
Possibility for advancement and promotion: Virtually none. Your job is to
remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly
retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can
ultimately surpass you.
Previous experience: None required, unfortunately. On-the-job training
offered on a continually exhausting basis.
Wages and compensation: You pay them, offering frequent raises and bonuses.
A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that
college will help them become financially independent. When you die, you
give the whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme
is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.
Benefits: While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition
reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered, job
supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life
if you play your cards right.
