Groupon Seeks to Hire (but not really) Someone to do Nothing

The job (that’s not really a job) offers $100,000

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Groupon plans on hiring (but not really hiring) someone to do the easiest job in the world*. The job (that’s not actually a job) that we’ll hire for (not hire at all), requires this new employee (who is not employed by Groupon) to do nothing. Additionally that job (not a job) pays $100,000. Clear and simple.

“Wait, what?” said Vic Galon, Groupon’s Head of Workforce Leverage and Productivity.

Could that person be you? Yes, maybe or not at all. According to Human Resources (they have nothing to do with this) there’s a pretty simple entry method in place -- like going to this landing page and then “purchasing a Groupon”** -- that you’re probably already doing anyway. In fact, that’s exactly the way to enter. The application (rather, steps on buying Groupons) can be found at: http://gr.pn/TheEasiestJob.

Go to the landing page. Buy a Groupon**. Get entered to win. Anticipate victory (or disappointment). We’re not really allowed to say, but this video should help illustrate where we’re going with this.
