This Mattress Company Is Paying People to Sleep in Public
這家床墊公司要付錢請人在公共場合睡覺
A love of sleeping isn't usually high on the list of requirements for bosses, but that's exactly what US mattress company Casper was looking for in its new employees this summer.
In July 2022, it began searching for people who wanted to "get paid to sleep."
The ideal person, it said, should want to sleep as much as possible, and be able to sleep through anything.
Think it couldn't be that simple? You'd be right.
The successful person, or people, would have to sleep in public. Casper said they would be sleeping in its stores as well as in unusual places, and "anywhere else people are looking."
The job also includes the "Casper Sleepers" sharing their sleeping — and their love for it — on social media.
People were encouraged to make short TikTok-style videos to demonstrate why they would be the ideal sleepers for the job.
Casper said the role would be part-time, although all that time could be spent in pajamas.
The company is reported to have been looking for a total of three sleepers at $25 an hour.
2022年7月，美國床墊公司Casper開始找想要「受僱睡覺」的民眾。理想人選應該要盡可能地多睡覺，也要可以在任何情況下睡著，甚至得在公共場合睡。他們要在商店裡睡覺，也要在不尋常的地點睡覺，任何會被其他人注視的地方都是他們潛在的睡覺之地。時薪為25元美金，相當於台幣750元。比較可惜的是，Casper已經在8月11日停止接受申請。所以如果你現在才知道，不好意思，已經太遲了呦～
