Many of us probably thought at least once about what would be not bad to get decent money, absolutely nothing for this without doing. If such an idea seems tempting to you, then you probably interested in a new Swedish experimental art project, as part of which one very lucky person will be hired for the rest of his life a good position where he won’t need to do any work, except for a very simple and strange assignment.
This government-funded project was recently announced in Gothenburg. The lucky one who gets such an unusual job will have to visit the local train station every morning and press the special button that turns off the lights on the platform. After that, he will be free to do everything during the working day, what he pleases. Evening, however, necessary come here and press the same button again so that the lights lit up.
Such an employee will not have to stay all day on station, however, turning on and off the lights is strictly necessary. As long as you do this daily until your retirement, getting another job, you will receive about 2350 per month dollars with a guaranteed annual salary increase of 3.2 percent, social benefits, bonuses, holidays, sick leave, and, retirement actually. But the most important thing: why is this needed to the employer?
How this idea was born and who will get tempting position
It all started in 2017 when the Transport Administration Sweden allocated several million dollars for art a project that can make the station under construction in Gothenburg more attractive. Art duo consisting of Simon Goldin and Jacob Senneby, then a very bizarre idea came to mind. Artists offered to give this money to one of the citizens, but such so that the lucky life was tied to the railway station.
Goldin and Seneby calculated that highlighted by Swedish the government will have enough funds to ensure that the “useless worker” received a salary and pension for 120 years. By transport officials liked such an original idea, and in October Last year, they announced that they would spend the money on it. Such news was expected to cause dissatisfaction among politicians. and ordinary citizens who considered the project a stupid and unnecessary waste state budget.
The art duet in response states that this is the whole point: to show how useless are many costs to society officials. By the way, if you are thinking about how to become a challenger for the above position, then we have bad news for you. Railway station Korsvagen in Gothenburg will be completed only in 2026, and it is then the search for a “worthless employee” will begin. You can also suggest that the enticing post will go to the indigenous Swede or Swedish.
